Ammonium Sulfate Market Size & Trends

The global ammonium sulfate market size was estimated at USD 3.14 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0% from 2024 to 2030.The market growth can be attributed to the increased demand for ammonium sulfate in formulating nitrogenous fertilizers, which are extensively used in the agricultural sector. The market is highly driven by the consumption of solid ammonium sulfate. However, demand for water treatment is anticipated to drive the demand for its liquid counterpart.

U.S. Ammonium Sulfate market size and growth rate, 2024 - 2030

The ammonium sulfate market growth is driven by its consumption in fertilizers as the chemical contains nitrogen and sulfur. It is mainly used for reducing the acidity of alkaline soils as they have a high pH level. The product contains nitrogenous elements, along with sulfur, which is used for protein synthesis in plants. The product is also largely preferred for flooded soils used in rice cultivation as nitrate-based fertilizers are a poor choice as they could lead to denitrification and leaching.

Ammonium sulfate is typically an inorganic water-soluble salt, which comprises sulfur and nitrogen. The composition is formulated for extensive use in the agricultural sector as a fertilizer. The substance has a high nitrogen content and is, therefore, the most commonly utilized supplement for nitrogen-deficit lawns and soil. Furthermore, the product has the ability to be easily mixed with nitrogen fertilizers and thereby providing enhanced stability and functionality to the fertilizer.

Ammonium sulfate is produced as a byproduct of coke oven processes and caprolactam, which is majorly used for the production of nylon fibers. The growing demand for nylon fibers for production of textiles, industrial yarn, carpets, and fishing nets has resulted in the growth in caprolactam manufacturing, subsequently leading to an increase in the supply of the product globally. However, the consumption of the product is estimated to register a slow growth rate over the forecast period, causing an oversupply in the marketplace. This factor has reduced the price of the product.

The ammonium sulfate market price fell considerably during the first half of 2023, due to low feedstock prices, surplus availability, and low procurement orders from China and global markets. In the U.S., the demand from agriculture sector was met through local availability leading to decline in imports from China and low prices of the product.

The key benefits offered by these fertilizers include waster solubility, easy blending abilities with nitrogenous fertilizers, the elevation of soil acidity, optimized sulfur and nitrogen content in the applied soil, and the nourishment of alkaline soils. These properties ensure high plant growth, and the product is, therefore, widely accepted by the global farming communities. With the rising competition globally, in terms of product development by key multinationals, the market is projected to witness steady growth over the coming years.

Ammonium sulfate is considered to be toxic to human health. Exposure to the product at the production site, processing, and transportation could cause severe respiratory route infection due to the inhalation of aqueous aerosols and dust. Prolonged skin contact might cause dermatitis, permanent eye damage, and lung damage. Such factors are anticipated to hinder market growth.

Market Concentration & Characteristics

These innovations are anticipated to fuel market competition globally over the coming years.

Product Insights

The solid segment dominated the market with a revenue share of over 90.0% in 2023. This is attributed to an increase in demand for the solid segment. Ammonium sulfate is commonly identified as an organic sulfate salt, which is a white odorless solid. It easily dissolves in water but is observed to be non-dissolving in acetone or alcohol. Solid ammonium sulfate crystals are broadly used in alkaline soils as fertilizers globally owing to their ability to improvise the soil nutrient content and sulfur deficiency. The solid or crystalline grade is higher in purity and is hence anticipated to gain preference in the pharmaceutical industry.

The liquid form of the product is commercially available as a pale yellowish solution and is recognized to be a non-toxic, stable, and non-hazardous substance. Liquid ammonium sulfate solution is widely used in water treatment. The market for liquid ammonium sulfate (LAS) is projected to witness significant growth due to the hazardous nature of its substitutes, namely, aqueous or anhydrous ammonia and stringent handling protocols. This type of sulfate is widely accepted and used as an effective and stable source of ammonia for chloramination.

Application Insights

The fertilizers segment accounted for the largest revenue share of over 70.0% in 2023. The demand is attributed to the use of ammonium sulfate as a fertilizer for alkaline soils as it contains both nitrogen and sulfur. Growing fertilizer consumption across agriculture-based economies is expected to drive the demand for the product over the forecast period. In soil, the product breaks down into sulfur dioxide, which enhances metabolism, and ammonia & nitrogen, which further produces amino acids.

Global Ammonium Sulfate market share and size, 2023

Major applications of ammonium sulfate include fertilizers, food and feed additives, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment. The market is mainly driven by fertilizers as ammonium sulfate is widely used as a substance in fertilizer production and is essentially used by all major nitrogenous fertilizer producers worldwide. Increasing demand for food products has pushed the agricultural industry to use ammonium sulfate products in fertilizer formulations globally.

Ammonium Sulfate Market Dynamics

Driver: Growing population and shrinking arable land

In 2020, farmers face an unprecedented challenge of producing large quantities of food grains within a limited timeframe due to the global population explosion. This is compounded by the fact that the amount of arable land per person has decreased as the population grows. The increasing demand for housing and commercial infrastructure development further increases farmers' pressure to maximize crop production on limited available lands. The scarcity of agricultural land is a significant obstacle to crop production. In 2006, the global population was 6.60 billion, with per capita arable land at 0.20 hectares. By 2016, the global population had risen to 7.4 billion, and per capita available land had decreased to just 0.19 hectares, a trend that persists in 2020. Out of the total land area of 12 billion hectares, only 1.6 billion hectares are used for agricultural purposes. Asia Pacific accounts for 39% of this land, while Europe, Africa, and the Middle East collectively have 36%. North America covers 15%, and the remaining 10% is in Latin America. The availability of arable land per person is decreasing worldwide and is expected to continue declining, leading to an increased reliance on fertilizers to enhance crop yields. The growing number of construction projects and rapid industrialization in developing economies, particularly in Asia Pacific, Western Europe, and Central America, pose a further threat of land loss for infrastructure development. These factors are projected to drive the demand for ammonium sulfate in nitrogenous fertilizer production in the coming years.

Driver: Robust growth of the overall fertilizer industry

Fertilizers are utilized to enhance soil productivity. They can be categorized into two types: organic and inorganic. Organic fertilizers consist of manure, fish meal, granite meal, and seaweed. On the other hand, inorganic fertilizers include nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus fertilizers. In comparison to organic fertilizers, inorganic fertilizers are more commonly used as they provide quicker results. Inorganic fertilizers can be divided into two main sub-categories: macronutrients and micronutrients. Over the years, the consumption of fertilizers has steadily increased. Between 2005 and 2016, fertilizer consumption per hectare of arable land rose from 115.84 kg to 140.55 kg. However, there was a slowdown in consumption between 2007 and 2009 due to the global financial crisis. Since 2010, many countries have recovered economically, leading to a resurgence in agricultural activities and an increased demand for chemical fertilizers. Consequently, the market for ammonium sulfate-based fertilizers has experienced significant growth.

Restraint: High environmental impact

Fertilizers and other agricultural inputs contain chemicals and synthetic components that enhance plant growth. However, they also have detrimental effects on the environment in the long term. When used in large quantities, fertilizers can decrease soil fertility by increasing acidity levels and depleting its quality for future use. Eutrophication is another negative consequence of fertilizers on the environment. Fertilizers containing phosphates and nitrates, when carried through sewage and rain into oceans and lakes, contribute to excessive algae growth, reducing oxygen levels in water reserves. This decrease in oxygen ultimately results in the death of aquatic fauna and flora, including fish. Moreover, the synthetic chemicals in fertilizers can negatively impact groundwater reserves used for drinking water and can cause various diseases. One such disease is blue baby syndrome, which affects infants and is caused by water contaminated with nitrates. The continued use of synthetic fertilizers increases the risk of soil contamination and depletes underground water quality for future use. Depending on their composition, fossil fuels contain several chemicals, such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, methane, and ammonia. The release of these compounds can contribute to an increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change. Nitrogen, found abundantly in fertilizers, produces nitrous oxide as a byproduct, the third most significant greenhouse gas after methane and carbon dioxide. These factors are expected to limit the use of chemical-based fertilizers, including ammonium sulfate, in the future.
