Potassium chloride (KCl) is an ionic salt with a bond between an alkali metal and halogen. It is a colorless and odorless solid with a vitreous crystal appearance. It is readily soluble in polar solvents like water, flammable when mixed with combustible material and burns with a pale violet or lilac-colored flame. It is used in the manufacturing of fertilizers that caters to the nutritional requirements of plants and the soil. Besides this, it is employed in formulating numerous medicines and the treatment of low blood pressure. It is also used as a substitute for table salt and in the preparation of different food to prevent the risks caused by sodium. Moreover, it is utilized as a source of beta radiation and consequently employed in calibrating radiation monitoring equipment. At present, KCl is available in the form of syrups, capsules, and tablets and finds extensive application in pharmaceuticals, food and beverage (F&B), and industrial applications.
The surging demand for natural food items and the rising adoption of KCL in preparing fertilizers represent one of the key factors positively influencing the market. In addition, the increasing applications of KCL in the manufacturing of numerous household products, such as paper, matches, and candles, are impelling the market growth across the globe. Apart from this, the growing application of KCL in the treatment of hypokalemia and other health issues is creating a favorable market outlook. Moreover, the easy availability of products containing KCL across online and offline distribution channels is propelling the market growth. Furthermore, the rising adoption of KCL in the oil and gas industry as an additive in drilling fluids is strengthening the growth of the market. This can also be attributed to its effective clay or shale stabilizer in water-sensitive formations. Moreover, the increasing application of KCL in bioresearch is contributing to the growth of the market.
