Salt substitutes are food ingredients that can be used as a substitute for table salt. Increasing urbanization and sedentary lifestyle have resulted in increased salt intake among consumers. This has resulted in high prevalence of obesity across all age groups. According to World Health Organization (WHO), in 2016, around 39% of adults across the globe were overweight. Furthermore, in the same year around 41 million children below age of 5 were found to be overweight. Overindulgence in food and beverage products that are high in sugar and salt content is major cause of disease progression. High consumption of salt is associated with the onset of lifestyle diseases. For instance, consumption of food products with high level of sodium results into high blood pressure. Increasing awareness among population regarding food ingredients coupled with increasing concerns for preventive healthcare has led to consumers taking keen interest in the constituents of any food they consume. Rising healthcare expenditure has urged consumer to adopt healthy diet, which is propelling demand for salt substitutes.
