Global Potassium Sulphate Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Form (Solid and Liquid), by Manufacturing Process (Mannheim Process, Salt Brine, and Potash/Sulphate Reaction) and Application (Agriculture, Pharmaceuticals, Cosmetics, Food & Beverages, and Others) Forecast Period (2021-2027).
    Update Available - Forecast 2024-2030   

Published: Jul 2023 | Report Code: OMR2026039 | Category : Chemical and Material | Delivery Format: /

The global potassium sulphate market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 9.2% during the forecast period. The supportive government schemes for the production of potassium sulphate, especially for the agricultural sector are driving the market growth of potassium sulphate. For instance, the government of India has Concession Scheme and Nutrient Based Subsidy Policy for providing fertilizers to the farmers at subsidized prices. Moreover, potassium sulphate is one of the best alternative of potassium chloride as it has less environmental impact than potassium chloride. It is widely used in animal feed to boost the protein and nutrient intake of animals.

However, the rising inclination toward natural alternative products in the agriculture, cosmetics, and food & beverage sector can restrain the market growth of the potassium sulphate market during the forecast period. This report will further provide an in-depth analysis of all the factors that are directly or indirectly impacting the market growth of Potassium Sulphate.

Global Potassium Sulphate  Market Share by Application, 2020 (%)

Global Potassium Sulphate Market Share by Application

The Agriculture Sector has Major Application in the Global Potassium Sulphate Market.

Potassium sulphate is majorly used as fertilizer in agricultural activities. With the rising global population, the demand for food is rising significantly. To satisfy this growing food demand farmers are using various fertilizers, including potassium sulphate to increase their crop yield. However, the rising trend for organic farming for preserving the environment from the harmful effects of these chemical fertilizers will reduce the demand for potassium sulphate from the agricultural sector.

The pharmaceuticals sector is expected to grow fastest in the market due to the increased demand for life-essential medicines during the COVID-19 pandemic. Several pharmaceutical companies have various medical researches in the pipeline which will further fuel the market growth during the forecast period.

Regional Outlooks

The global Potassium Sulphate market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America).  The market can also be analyzed for particular region or country level only as per the requirement.
