95% potassium salt in China is of salt-lake type, centered at the Qaidam Basin in Qinghai and the Lop Nur region in Xinjiang. In 2016, the basic reserves of natural potassium salt accounted for about 580 million tonnes. As drilling and exploring techniques of natural potassium salt is being improved, the exploration of the resource will be speeded up for the next few years, meaning that the reserves will increase as well. In 2022, the reserves are predicted to be nearly 610 million tonnes.

The domestic natural potassium salt industry will continue its expansion, for that globalization of agriculture is going to attract more attention. According to the forecast, the exploration and process of natural potassium salt will be faster and stronger and the industry has a well prospect.
