Salt therapy, also known as halotherapy, is a natural treatment that involves breathing in dry salt particles within a controlled setting to promote respiratory and skin health. Its goal is to reduce inflammation, clear lung mucus, and relieve conditions like asthma, allergies, bronchitis, and certain skin disorders.
The primary types of salt therapy include dry salt therapy and wet salt therapy. Dry salt therapy involves inhaling micronized pharmaceutical-grade salt particles in a dry, controlled environment to cleanse the respiratory system and enhance skin health. The market features various products such as halotherapy equipment, salt inhalers, and bath salts, which are distributed through online, offline, and direct sales channels. Applications cover respiratory disorders, skin conditions, stress relief, relaxation, and overall wellness, serving end users like individual consumers and commercial facilities.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sudden escalation of U.S. tariffs and the consequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are severely impacting the healthcare sector, particularly in the supply of critical medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are facing higher costs for imported surgical instruments, imaging equipment, and consumables such as syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic alternatives. These increased costs are straining healthcare budgets, leading some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass on expenses to patients. Additionally, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the production of essential drugs and devices, causing supply chain bottlenecks. In response, the industry is diversifying sourcing strategies, boosting local manufacturing where possible, and advocating for tariff exemptions on life-saving medical products.
