The U.S. bath salts market size is expected to reach USD 1.25 billion by 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.0% from 2025 to 2033. Increasing awareness of wellness and self-care, especially among younger consumers such as millennials and Gen Z, is significantly fueling demand for bath salts in the U.S. These consumers are increasingly looking beyond basic hygiene products, favoring bath salts that provide therapeutic benefits like muscle relaxation, skin nourishment, and stress relief. This shift reflects a broader trend where bath salts are no longer viewed as mere bath additives but as essential components of daily wellness rituals and self-indulgence.
The rising popularity of at-home wellness routines has been a major growth driver as consumers seek to create spa-like experiences within their bathrooms. Products that combine efficacy with sensory appeal, such as soothing aromas, natural textures, and visually attractive formulations, are especially favored. Social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok amplify this trend by inspiring consumers to explore premium bath salts and share their self-care journeys online, driving wider adoption and market growth.
Premiumization continues to shape the U.S. market. Increasing disposable incomes, particularly among urban and affluent consumers, have led to a preference for high-quality, ethically sourced ingredients and elegant packaging. Exotic mineral varieties such as Dead Sea salt and Himalayan salt, often infused with botanicals and essential oils, are gaining traction for their perceived enhanced wellness benefits. This evolving consumer mindset allows established wellness brands and innovative direct-to-consumer companies to capture market share by emphasizing product authenticity, sustainability, and luxury appeal.

Its affordability, wide availability, and trusted reputation as a natural remedy further reinforce its dominant position among bath salt options.
Offline sales of bath salts held a substantial market share in the U.S., as consumers prefer purchasing these products in physical stores where they can assess texture, scent, and packaging firsthand.

Residential use dominates the U.S. market as more consumers focus on incorporating wellness rituals into their daily lives.
