In India, 167 million people are at risk of getting iodine deficiency disorder (IDD), out of which 54 million people are already suffering from goitre and 2 million from cretinism. As per government guidelines, an average adult should consume 150 micrograms of iodine daily, with the figure being 220mg and 290mg for pregnant and lactating women respectively. The poor consumption of iodine in regions like Andhra Pradesh, and Daman Diu is expected to boost the demand for iodised salt in these regions, thereby driving the market growth. Logistical challenges related to the storage and safe processing of salt are expected to witness rapid resolution, thereby driving salt demand among the masses.
Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Tamil Nadu are the leading salt-producing states of India, accounting for 76.7%, 9.86%, and 11.16% of the total production, respectively. The rest of the production comes from Maharashtra, Orissa, Goa, Himachal Pradesh, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, and Goa, among others. Large scale producers dominate salt production in India, with a 62% share in output, whereas small producers account for 28% of the total production. The average salt supply meant for human consumption in India amounts to 59 lakh tons, while industries take 107 lakh tons.
