Iodine is a mineral that occurs naturally in the earth's soil and oceans. Iodine is found in plant-based foods and saltwater, and it is also available in iodized form. It is regarded as a crucial mineral for human bodies, particularly during growth and pregnancy, to aid in the healthy development of the foetus. Furthermore, iodine is extremely important for thyroid health. The thyroid aids in the regulation and production of a hormone that regulates a variety of body functions including metabolism, heart health, and many more. As a result, a sufficient supply of iodine is critical for maintaining good health and regulating the body's many activities.

The rise in the number of people with low iodine levels in their bodies in developing countries is likely to promote the growth of the iodine market over the forecast period. The use of iodine in optical polarising films in LCD applications is also expected to drive the Iodine Market forward. Furthermore, the diverse applications of iodine compounds are expected to support the iodine market's expansion. On the other side, toxicity associated with the use of iodine and its derivatives is expected to stymie the iodine market's expansion over the forecast period. In addition, iodine recycling will create more prospects for the iodine market to flourish in the next years. However, iodine variation prices due to a demand-supply mismatch may pose a further obstacle to the iodine market's growth in the near future.
