Consumption of fertilizers is directly related to agricultural production and indirectly to increasing global population; higher the population more will be the requirement for food. On the other side, loss of crops due to unforeseen seasonal changes and calamities will further deepen the food supply at the global scale. Changing eating habits such as increasing meat consumption, have increased the requirement for feed grains leading to increased fertilizer usage. Vegetables and fruits constitute about 27% of the total production and require chloride-free fertilizers for healthy growth. Thus, growing cultivation of vegetables and fruits, especially citrus fruits and melons, is expected to be the prime factor driving the growth of the potassium sulphate market.
Over the last few years, the production of specialized crops has registered a significant growth, primarily driven by the population growth and changing consumer preference for healthier diets. Increase in production of such specialized crops is expected to drive the demand for potassium sulphate market over the forecast period.
Lucrative Growth Opportunities in Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa
Developing regions, such as Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America are slated to witness strong growth during the forecast period. Agriculture-based economies, focus on boosting agricultural output, and countries with low percent of arable land to total land make the regions of Asia Pacific and the Middle East & Africa prominent markets for potassium sulphate. Countries in North Africa & Central Africa present a wide opportunity for the usage of potassium sulphate as a fertilizer to boost agricultural production and reduce dependability on food imports in the region.
In developed regions such as North America and Europe, potassium sulphate is gaining traction for its exceptional performance and less toxic effects, especially in dry conditions.
