Shares in MicroSalt PLC (AIM:SALT) rose 9% to 52p on Monday after the low-sodium seasoning maker posted a sharp jump in annual revenue and said it remained on track to more than triple sales in 2026.
The AIM-listed company, which produces a reduced-sodium salt alternative for use in packaged foods, said unaudited sales for 2025 came in at $2.14 million, up 287% year-on-year and ahead of its original $2 million target. That compares with $745,000 of revenue in 2024.
MicroSalt said the growth was driven by rising demand across its business-to-business division, particularly from a major global food and beverage customer, referred to as “Customer 3”.
That client, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of snacks and soft drinks, has continued to increase volume projections and recently began taking bulk orders for a new product expected to launch in the second quarter of this year.
Looking ahead, the group maintained its forecast of $7 million in sales for 2026, rising to more than $15 million in 2027 based on current contracts and order trends.
Chief executive Rick Guiney said the 2025 performance was “a clear testament to the strength of our offering” and underlined MicroSalt’s ability to scale while supporting the shift to healthier food alternatives.
The company reported delivering more than 830 million “healthy servings” of its salt alternative over the year, which it said reflects its core mission of helping reduce excess sodium consumption without compromising taste.
MicroSalt floated on AIM in early 2024 and positions itself as a health-focused ingredient supplier to major food brands.
Its technology enables a reduction in sodium content of around 50% without changing flavour, texture or shelf life, a selling point as regulators and consumers increasingly push for lower-salt diets.
