The salt substitute market comprises products designed to replace or reduce sodium chloride in food while maintaining flavor. These substitutes typically use ingredients such as potassium chloride, magnesium salts, calcium salts, yeast extracts, amino acids, and herbal blends. Salt substitutes are widely used in processed foods, dietary supplements, and household cooking to support healthier diets.
Rising awareness of the health risks associated with excessive sodium intake—such as hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, and stroke—has significantly driven the adoption of salt substitutes. Government initiatives promoting sodium reduction and growing consumer preference for healthier food alternatives further support market growth.
