Pure Vacuum-Dried (PVD) Salt is a high-purity form of salt that goes through a vacuum-drying process to remove moisture and other contaminants. PVD salt is commonly employed in applications demanding high purity and consistency. Industries like food processing, pharmaceuticals, and chemical production are major applications of PVD salt where high-quality sodium chloride is necessary. Additionally, PVD salt plays a critical role in specialty salt production, including applications in industries like textile and water treatment.
During the first quarter of 2025, PVD salt prices were somewhat stable, but conditions in some areas, notably Sri Lanka, demonstrated underlying weaknesses in the supply chain. The salt industry was impacted by a deficit in Sri Lanka, so the government allowed imports of significant amounts of non-iodized salt to stabilize the domestic market. Sri Lanka's use of solar evaporation for salt production rendered the industry most vulnerable to weather disturbances. This production deficit resulted in a boost in demand for imports from surrounding nations, especially India. Globally, the trend for PVD salt prices was predominantly range-bound in the first quarter.

PVD salt remained an essential material in 2024, widely used for thin-film coatings in tools, automotive parts, and decorative applications. Its high purity made it a key ingredient in semiconductor manufacturing and optical coatings, while industries like electronics and aerospace relied on it to enhance surface hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion protection. Demand remained steady across these sectors as manufacturers continued to prioritize performance and durability in their products.
Prices experienced fluctuations throughout the year. Initially, they hovered within a stable range, with supply and demand largely in balance. However, in the second quarter, prices increased noticeably when freight rates spiked due to disruptions in the Red Sea, causing global shipping disruptions. With supply chains under pressure, prices rose before settling back down as logistics adjusted. By the last quarter, the trend reversed as raw material costs decreased, pulling PVD salt prices down with them. Weakness in upstream markets and softer demand from major industries kept the pressure on, closing the year with a noticeable decline.
PVD Salt or Pure Vacuum Dried Salt is a type of salt which appears as a white crystalline odourless substance with a characteristic salty taste. It is a food grade salt and is extracted by pumping water deep underground into the reserves of hard salt. Force is applied to pump it back which brings hard salt as a thick brine solution up to the surface. It is further dried and processed to create a fine food grade salt.

Open-pan salt making is a common process for salt production. In this process, salt is extracted or derived with the help of vacuum pans from brine, which is obtained primarily by pumping the groundwater. Vacuum pans are utilised for heating brine, which lowers the boiling point, thus, finally obtaining the desired product after removing the impurities.
