Market USP

Rising demand for elemental sulfur enriched NPK fertilizers

Growth Opportunities in the Market

The Sulfate of Micronutrients Segment to Register the Highest Growth Rate During the Review Period: The growth of the segment is attributed to the rising awareness regarding the benefits of using sulfate-based micronutrients over carbonate-, nitrate-, or phosphate-based micronutrients. Sulfate of micronutrients are readily available to the plants and are cheaper than other forms of micronutrients. Additionally, sulfate-based micronutrients do not cause toxicity in plants, resulting in better crop yield.

The Oilseeds & Pulses Segment to Register the Highest CAGR During the Upcoming Years: Oilseeds are largely grown in semi-arid tropical areas of the globe. Soils in these areas are highly deficient in sulfur and thus result in low crop yield. Rising awareness amongst farmers regarding the importance of sulfur in plant growth has boosted the demand for sulfur fertilizers among the farmers growing oilseeds & pulses in these areas. Hence, the segment is expected to grow significantly during the upcoming years.

Increasing Application of Micronutrients to Boost the Growth of the Foliar Segment: Micronutrients are gaining importance in crop cultivation due to the rising awareness regarding their benefits in crop growth. Sulfate of micronutrients is amongst such micronutrients in high demand to overcome the deficiency of sulfur in plants. Micronutrients are majorly applied through foliar application as they directly come in contact with the plant foliar such as leaves, and are readily absorbed. Hence, the segment is emerging as a growing mode of application for sulfur fertilizers, especially sulfate of micronutrients.
