Sulfur Fertilizer Market: Global Industry Analysis and Forecast (2023-2029)

Sulfur Fertilizer Market size was valued at US$ 4.82 Bn. in 2022 and the total revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.6% from 2023 to 2029, reaching nearly US$ 5.77 Bn.
Global Sulfur Fertilizer Market Overview:
Sulfur Fertilizer Market is expected to reach US$ 5.77 Bn. by 2029. Fertilizers containing sulphur are crucial in lowering sulphur emissions and raising agricultural output. For plants to flourish at their best, sulphur is a crucial ingredient. In addition to supporting the production of plant proteins, it aids in the synthesis of crucial enzymes. Despite the fact that crops only need a small amount of sulphur, a deficit can result in plant death and other major problems. The use of such fertilisers drives the growth of the sulphur fertilisers market since they lower pH levels, primarily for alkaline soils, and also assist crops in retaining moisture.

Sulfur Fertilizer Market Dynamics:
The global population is increasing, there is a rising need for food, and there is a shortage of arable land. As a result, it is expected that the market for sulphur fertilizers will grow during the forecast period. Additionally, the market for sulphur fertilizers is growing more quickly due to the soil's increasing sulphur shortage. However, growing investments in agricultural activities in developing nations represent a significant potential for the top market players in sulphur fertilizers over the forecast period. There are some challenges that will prevent the market from growing overall.

The usage of various chemicals in agriculture is becoming more widely known. People are becoming increasingly conscious of how pesticides used in agricultural techniques affect human health. People now choose organic food due to the negative impacts of the chemicals used in agricultural and food production. As a result, it can be concluded that the trend toward organic food is one of the potential factors restraining the overall growth of the global sulphur fertilizer market. However, the development of NPK fertilizers with elemental sulphur added and the increase in investments in emerging nations' agricultural activities have created opportunities for growth.

Sulfur is widely utilized in agriculture throughout the springtime to protect plant life. Companies in the sulphur fertilizer market, like Repsol, are increasing their marketing capacities for PRILL SULFUR, which is used as a raw ingredient to produce fertilizers. Since sulphur fertilizers are utilized in alkaline soils to adjust pH levels and enhance nutrient absorption, manufacturers are growing their capacity. The widespread issue of sulphur deficiency has been made worse by a decrease in soil sulphur oxide emissions. In order to increase the production of corn, canola, wheat, and alfalfa, stakeholders in the sulphur fertilizer market are encouraging farmers and cultivators to use this manure in the fall or spring. When weather extremes cause expensive delays during spring fieldwork and planting, farmers enjoy this flexibility.

Strong sulphur responses are also occurring in soybean, in addition to corn and wheat. Manufacturers are starting to work with university academics like Shaun Casteel, a Purdue University Extension soybean agronomic, to boost soybean output, which is credited to sulphur fertilizers.
Sulfur Fertilizer Market Segment Analysis:
The Sulfur Fertilizer Market is segmented by Type, Crop Type, Application Method, Form, and Cultivation Type.

Based on the Type, the market is segmented into Sulfates, Elemental Sulfur, and Liquid Sulfur Fertilizers. Sulfates segment is expected to hold the largest market share of xx% by 2029. This is because sulphate fertilisers, both old and new, like ammonium sulphate, single superphosphate, ammonium phosphate sulphate, potassium sulphate, and sulphates of micronutrients, are widely used across regions. The fundamental benefit of sulphate fertilisers is that they provide plants with easy access to sulphur in the form of sulphate, which is another benefit.

Elemental Sulfur segment is expected to grow rapidly at a CAGR of xx% during the forecast period 2023-2029. In agricultural applications, Elemental Sulfur can be applied as a fertiliser, a soil supplement to lower soil pH, an insecticide, an acaricide, a rodenticide, a repellent, and more.



Based on the Crop Type, the market is segmented into Cereals & grains, Oilseeds & pulses, Fruits & vegetables, and others. Oilseeds & pulses crop type segment is expected to grow rapidly at a CAGR of xx% during the forecast period 2023-2029. The majority of the world's oilseed production takes place in semi-arid tropical regions with poor yield averages. Oilseeds have minimal transpiration and can withstand drought. As a result of the inadequate supply, crops in these regions are sulphur deficient. The main crops taken into consideration in this segment that use sulphur fertilisers are soybean, canola, and peanut. Sulfur is a nutrient that plants need for the synthesis of proteins and oils. Oilseeds have a slightly greater sulphur need than other crops.

Based on the Form, the market is segmented into Dry, and Liquid. Dry form sulphur fertilisers segment is expected to grow rapidly at a CAGR of xx% during the forecast period 2023-2029. This is due to its long shelf life and affordable price. Additionally, there is a large demand for dry sulphur fertilisers around the world, including ammonium sulphate, single superphosphate, ammonium phosphate sulphate, and elemental sulphur.
Sulfur Fertilizer Market Regional Insights:
Asia Pacific region is expected to dominate the Sulfur Fertilizer Market during the forecast period 2023-2029. The Asia Pacific region is expected to hold the largest market share of xx% by 2029. The need for high-quality agricultural products and the growth of agricultural techniques are two factors expected to drive market growth in the Asia Pacific region. The World Bank estimates that in 2015, agricultural output constituted roughly 56.2% and 60.4% of the total land area in China and India, respectively. Rice, sugar beet, fruits, vegetables, cereals, and grains are some of the major crops grown in Asia; the continent consumes around 90% of the world's rice production. Due to its direct application in the treatment of sulphur deficiency, sulphur fertilisers are in high demand in the Asia Pacific region. They are frequently applied in conjunction with or as supplements to NPK preparations.

The North American region is expected to grow rapidly at a CAGR of xx% during the forecast period 2023-2029. The United States' highly developed manufacturing and agricultural sectors are driving market growth. In a report released by the International Trade Administration (ITA) on November 21st, 2019, it was reported that American agriculture shows great potential and was valued at US$ 14.1 billion in terms of foreign direct investment (FDI).

The European region is expected to grow rapidly at a CAGR of xx% during the forecast period 2023-2029. Germany's booming agricultural sector and highly developed manufacturing centres are boosting demand. According to a report titled "Performance of the Agriculture Sector" that was released by the European Commission (EC) on April 12, 2021, the agriculture sector contributed 1.3 percent to the GDP of the EU-27 in 2020, with Germany being the major contributor.
