The global iodine market size reached USD 1,044.6 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 1,575.9 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.44% during 2025-2033. The growing demand for iodine in the healthcare industry for medical imaging and treatments is accelerating the market.

Iodine (I2) is a trace element naturally found in dairy products, seafood, seaweed, eggs, and vegetables. It is widely utilized for making the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) as it assists in regulating the metabolism and increasing the production of proteins. Besides this, as it also aids in treating mammary dysplasia and fibrocystic breast disease, the consumption of I2-rich food products is escalating across the globe.

Iodine Market Trends:

There is presently a rise in the number of people suffering from I2 deficiency disorders, which include mental retardation, hypothyroidism, goiter, cretinism, and varying degrees of other growth and developmental abnormalities. As a result, international health organizations are mandating the use of all food-grade salt in households and food processing units for preventing and controlling I2 deficiency disorders around the world. This, in confluence with the thriving pharmaceutical industry, is bolstering the growth of the market. Moreover, I2 is employed as a disinfectant for cleaning surfaces and storage containers, skin soaps and bandages, and purifying water. It also plays a crucial role as a reagent in analytical chemistry and a catalyst in the alkylation and condensation of aromatic amines and sulfation and sulfonations. Apart from this, I2 is used in the manufacturing of organic and inorganic chemicals, radiopaque contrast agents, animal feed supplements, stabilizers, inks, colorants, photographic chemicals, and synthetic rubber. This, coupled with the rising demand for I2 in X-radiation imaging modalities, such as computed tomography (CT), is strengthening the growth of the market. Other factors, such as the increasing health consciousness among individuals and significant growth in the healthcare industry, are positively influencing the overall sales and profitability.
