硝酸カリウム市場レポート：原料、最終用途、地域別、2024～2032年

硝酸カリウムの世界市場規模は2023年に18億米ドルに達しました。今後、IMARC Groupは、市場は2032年までに23億米ドルに達し、2024～2032年の間に2.6%の成長率（CAGR）を示すと予測しています。

硝酸カリウム（KNO3）は白色から灰色のイオン塩で、自然界では硝酸ナトリウム、硝石として存在します。この結晶性固体は不燃性で、水にわずかに溶けるが、溶解度は温度によって上昇します。硝酸カリウムは強い酸化剤であり、他の有機化合物と反応すると爆発することがあります。その有益な特性により、硝酸カリウムは肥料、花火、ロケット推進剤、火薬、医薬品の成分として使用されています。また、歯の知覚過敏を防ぐ効果があるため、歯磨き粉にも使用されています。

硝酸カリウム市場は、いくつかの有利な要因によって着実な成長を遂げています。硝酸カリウムは、中世の時代から牛肉、サラミ、ハムなどの食品を保存するために使用されてきました。現在では、食肉を熟成させるために食品産業で広く使用されており、市場成長の主要需要促進要因となっています。さらに、硝酸カリウムは肥料の生産にも使用されます。発展途上国の政府が農業従事者への肥料販売に補助金を出しているため、硝酸カリウムの消費量は農業セグメントで急増しています。これに加えて、特殊肥料に対する需要の高まりが市場の成長をさらに刺激しています。

The global potassium nitrate market size reached US$ 1.8 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 2.3 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.6% during 2024-2032.

Potassium nitrate (KNO3) is a white to grey ionic salt which is found in nature as saltpetre or nitre. This crystalline solid is non-combustible and slightly soluble in water, however, its solubility increases with temperature. Potassium nitrate is a strong oxidizing agent which can explode on reaction with other organic compounds. Owing to its beneficial properties, potassium nitrate is used as a constituent of fertilizers, fireworks, rocket propellants, gunpowder and medicines. It is also used in toothpastes as it provides protection against teeth sensitivity.

The potassium nitrate market has witnessed a steady growth owing to several favourable factors. Potassium nitrate has been used to preserve food items, such as beef, salami, ham, etc., since the medieval ages. Nowadays, it is extensively used in the food industry for curing meat which represents the major demand-driver for the market growth. Moreover, potassium nitrate is used in the production of fertilizers. As governments of developing nations are offering subsidies for the sales of fertilizers among the farmers, the consumption of potassium nitrate has witnessed a surge in the agriculture segment. In addition to this, a growing demand for speciality fertilizers is further stimulating the market growth.
