(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire/ -- The global pharmaceutical-grade sodium chloride market is entering a transformative growth phase, projected to expand from USD 524 million in 2025 to USD 912.2 million by 2035, adding USD 388.2 million in new market value and advancing at a 5.7% CAGR. This high-purity excipient-instrumental in injectable medicines, IV therapy, biologics production, vaccines, and dialysis fluids-continues to rank as one of the most essential inputs in modern healthcare supply chains.

API-NaCl Dominates with 85% Share

In 2025, API-NaCl accounts for 85% of global demand, led by multi-compendial USP/EP/JP-compliant grades, ultra-low endotoxin specifications (<0.25 EU/mL), and purity levels above 99.9%. These grades are the backbone of sterile injectable preparations, IV fluids, vaccine diluents, and biologics manufacturing.

Injections Segment Leads with 39% Market Share

Growing surgical volumes, emergency care requirements, and expansion of home-based IV therapy have made injections the largest application segment. The breakdown includes:

- IV fluids/saline: 22%
- Parenteral excipient uses: 10%
- Vaccine/biologic diluents: 7%

Hemodialysis follows with a substantial 34% share, aligned with rising chronic kidney disease prevalence across global healthcare systems.

High-Purity ≥99.9% Low-Endotoxin Grades Account for 48% of Demand

The market increasingly prioritizes ultra-pure crystalline forms due to higher safety expectations in biologics and injectable therapies. Sterile injectable grades alone contribute 26% of global utilization.

REGIONAL GROWTH OVERVIEW – APAC, EUROPE, USA & SAUDI ARABIA LEAD EXPANSION

APAC Leads Global Growth

The Asia-Pacific region remains the world's fastest-expanding pharmaceutical sodium chloride market.

- India: fastest-growing globally at 8.4% CAGR, powered by IV fluid manufacturing clusters in Gujarat, Maharashtra & Telangana, plus government PLI incentives.
