Potassium sulphate (SOP) is one of the essential fertilizers that is used in the agricultural industry, as it provides one of the essential nutrients to plants such as Potassium. For instance, according to the Fertilizers Institute, Washington, potassium plays an important role in the plant nutrition process and is termed as “Big 3” primary nutrient. The increasing demand for potash fertilizers in the agriculture sector is expected to drive growth of the global potassium sulphate market over the forecast period.
Moreover, potassium sulphate offers advantages such as prevention of infection of plants from pests and other microbes. Potassium sulphate also helps the plant to adapt to unfavorable weather conditions and aids plants in absorbing more minerals from the soil, and also strengthens the tree stalks. In addition, other end uses industries of potassium sulphate include industrial, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food & beverages, and others.

The regional analysis comprehensively done by the researchers highlights key regions and their dominating countries accounting for substantial revenue share in the Potassium Sulphate market. The study helps understanding how the market will fare in the respective region, while also mentioning the emerging regions growing with a significant CAGR. The following are the regions covered in this report.
Among regions, Asia Pacific accounted for the largest revenue share of around 51.8% in the global potassium sulphate market in 2019. This is attributed to increasing population and growing demand for food grains, which is boosting growth of potassium sulphate use as a fertilizer in the region. For instance, according to an article published by Asian Development Bank (ADB), Asia Pacific is expected to account for around 1/3rd of the estimated 2,600 million increase in global population during the period of 2010 and 2050, thus requiring additional efforts to increase productivity of crops to cater to rising population in the region.
Among the forms, solid segment accounted for a major market share of 89.6%, in 2019. SOP provides essential nutrients to the plant and aids in improving the yield of the food grains and vegetables. For instance, according to the research article published by International Journal of Agronomy and Agricultural Research (IJAAR), in 2015, SOP increased the yield of sugarcane, wheat, cotton, and rice by 13.55%, 4.8%, 27.5%, and 2.9% respectively.
Agriculture end-use amounted for the largest demand for potassium sulphate globally, owing to increasing demand for food grains and cereals. For instance, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the world production of cereals reached a record high of 2,715 million tons in 2019, which increased by 2.3% from 2018.
Major restraints for potassium sulphate market include increasing usage of natural fertilizers such as neem fertilizers in organic farming operations. For instance, according to a research article published by University of Calabar, the combination of neem with NPK significantly increased the yield of Okra during the research studies.
