The global sulfur fertilizers market size reached US$ 5.7 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 7.5 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3% during 2024-2032. The sulfur fertilizers market is primarily propelled by the launch of favorable initiatives by government bodies to minimize sulfur emissions, owing to their negative impact on the environment, along with the introduction of elemental sulfur enriched NPK fertilizers.
Strategic Partnerships and Collaborations
Key players across numerous countries are entering into agreements to enhance the efficiency of sulfur fertilizers and expand their product portfolio. This, in turn, is stimulating the market growth. For example, in March 2020, the Mosaic Company announced an agreement with the Financial Technology Research Centre (FTRC) at the University of Adelaide in Australia to emphasize on enhancing the efficiency of fertilizers. Similarly, in February 2020, ICL stated the acquisition of Growers Holdings Inc. (US), an innovator in data-driven farming, that offers diversified information on on-field applications and fertilization.
Regulations by Government Bodies
The regulatory bodies across the countries are focusing on offering more efficient nutrient use and minimizing environmental impact, thereby catalyzing the sulfur fertilizers market. For instance, various sulfur fertilizers have been included in the Fertilizer Control Order (FCO). Moreover, their sulfur content is a part of the fertilizer specifications. Government bodies are further implementing stringent regulations to make it mandatory to declare the sulfur content in the product on the bag. In line with this, they are also providing tax benefits and fiscal benefits to encourage the farmers to use sulfur fertilizers. For example, the government in India increased the subsidy on sulfur fertilizer to Rs 3.56 per kg. It kept the support unchanged for other non-urea nutrients to promote the balanced use of farm supplements. To meet the increasing food demand that requires enhanced agricultural productivity, regulatory authorities are launching favorable policies to promote the usage of effective soil supplements, such as sulfur fertilizers. For example, policies, including Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) in India, are helping in elevating the agricultural industry across the country. The payments of Rs.2000 are made to the families of farmers nationwide every four months as part of the Scheme, which, in turn, offers annual income support of Rs. 6000 to help them concentrate more on farming, thereby propelling the sulfur fertilizers market revenue.
Increasing Applications of Novel Sulfur Fertilizers
The introduction of elemental sulfur fertilizers that are gaining extensive applications in end-use industries, including petroleum refining, rubber manufacturing firms, agrochemicals, etc., is bolstering the sulfur fertilizers market value. For instance, in June 2021, Northern Nutrients, a Canadian company, announced the development of a new sulfur production plant by utilizing Royal Dutch Shell's Thiogro technology, which converts micronized elemental sulfur into urea granules. Furthermore, Nutrien introduced Smart Nutrition MAP+MST fertilizer, which usually combines micronized sulfur with phosphates, and offers plants a consistent supply of nutrients all season long. These innovations will continue to drive the sulfur fertilizers market over the forecasted period.
IMARC Group provides an analysis of the key trends in each segment of the market, along with forecasts at the global, regional, and country levels for 2024-2032. Our report has categorized the market based on type, cultivation type, crop type, form, and mode of application.
The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the type. This includes sulphate fertilizers, elemental sulfur fertilizers, liquid sulfur fertilizers, and others.
Sulfate fertilizers, including potassium sulfate, ammonium sulfate (AS), magnesium sulfate, etc., usually contain sulfur in the commonly available sulfate form. Elemental sulfur fertilizers are natural minerals that require to be oxidized by soil bacteria to the sulfate form before plants can utilize them.
