Rising Demand in Medical and Pharmaceutical Applications
Iodine has significance in the medical and pharmaceutical industries for its involvement in thyroid hormone synthesis as well as its antibacterial characteristics. The rising frequency of thyroid problems, as well as the growth of India's pharmaceutical sector, are driving up demand for iodine. The National Family Health Survey (NFHS) V (2019-2021) found a 2.9% prevalence of thyroid disorders, up from 2.2% in NFHS IV. This growth has raised public awareness of iodine's significance in avoiding thyroid-related diseases, resulting in increasing use of iodine supplements and iodized salt. Moreover, India's pharmaceutical sector for the fiscal year 2023-24 is estimated to be worth USD 50 billion, with domestic sales accounting for USD 23.5 billion and exports contributing USD 26.5 billion. The country ranks as the third-largest producer globally in terms of volume and holds the 14th position based on production value. Iodine is integral in manufacturing various medical products, including antiseptics, disinfectants, and contrast agents for imaging. The industry's expansion has consequently escalated the demand for iodine.
Expanding Use in Animal Husbandry and Agriculture
The agricultural sector's growth, particularly in animal husbandry, has led to a surge in iodine demand for animal nutrition and crop protection. The Indian animal feed market size reached INR 1,110.0 billion in 2024. IMARC Group expects the market to reach INR 2,025.1 billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9% during 2025-2033. Iodine is an important element in animal diets, supporting metabolic activities and disease prevention. The growing chicken and aqua feed industries have substantially influenced the rising usage of iodine supplements. Furthermore, India's dairy sector, which is the world's largest, requires high-quality animal feed fortified with iodine to maintain optimal milk output and animal health. The emphasis on increasing animal production has accelerated the use of iodine in feed formulations. Beyond animal feeding, iodine is used in agriculture activities for its antibacterial qualities, which help to safeguard crops. Its use in soil fumigants and fertilizers aids in disease control, thereby enhancing crop output and quality.
