Rising demand for magnesium sulfate in the agricultural sector And Rising demand from food and beverage industry is driving the Global Magnesium Sulfate Market.
As per Analyst at MRFR,” The demand for magnesium sulfate in the agricultural sector has been increasing in recent years, due to several factors. The global population and food demand are growing, which requires more intensive and productive agricultural practices. This means that more crops are grown on the same or less land, which can deplete the soil of its nutrients and increase the risk of nutrient deficiencies.”

Pre-eclampsia and eclampsia are the major causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Particularly, pre-eclampsia is a complication that arises in women during pregnancy. Women in developing countries have, on average, more pregnancies than women in developed countries, and the lifetime risk of death due to pregnancy is high in these economies. With the increasing number of fatalities, the need to treat pre-eclampsia and eclampsia is growing.
According to the World Health Organization, pre-eclampsia and eclampsia are responsible for over 15% of the world's maternal deaths, over 50,000 deaths per year. There are around 361,000 to 1 billion cases of severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) per year, between 116,000 and 326,000 cases in Southeast Asia per year, and between 409,000 and 1.2 billion cases per year in South Asia. In the same line, eclampsia is the third major cause of maternal mortality in Pakistan.
Magnesium sulfate is an anticonvulsant drug recommended by the WHO as the most effective, safe, and low-cost treatment available for severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. Magnesium sulfate causes dilatation of the cerebral blood vessels and thus reducing the chances of cerebral ischemia. Also, it blocks the calcium receptors by inhibiting N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors in the brain and reduces hypertension during pre-eclampsia. When dosed with magnesium sulfate, the magnesium results in peripheral (predominantly arteriolar) vasodilatation that helps in reducing blood pressure. Magnesium sulfate helps inhibit muscle contractions by altering calcium metabolism, which lowers the risk of eclampsia. It also protect the blood-brain barrier and limit cerebral edema formation or act through a central anticonvulsant action. Thus, with the increasing number of fatalities, the need for treatment of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia is increasing, which is expected to fuel the demand for magnesium sulfate in medical applications and drive the global market growth during the review period.
On the basis of form, the global manganese sulfate market has been categorized into three segments: crystals, powder and granules. The Crystal segment dominated the global market in 2024, while the Crystal is projected to be the fastest–growing segment during the forecast period. Manganese sulfate in its crystal form embodies a solid, structured compound comprising manganese, sulfur, and oxygen. This variant is used in widespread application across multiple sectors, with agriculture being a primary beneficiary. Farmers utilize it as a crucial supplement to rectify manganese deficiencies in soil, thereby bolstering crop health and yield. Moreover, its incorporation into fertilizer formulations serves to optimize plant growth and development, contributing to enhanced agricultural productivity.
Beyond agriculture, its role extends to the chemical manufacturing and materials production, where it serves as a key ingredient in various processes. One of the standout advantages of its crystalline form lies in its ease of handling and storage, making it a practical choice for large-scale agricultural operations. Furthermore, its crystalline nature facilitates a controlled release of manganese, particularly valuable in agricultural contexts where precise nutrient management is essential for optimal plant nutrition and growth. This attribute renders it suitable for applications where a gradual and regulated release of manganese is desired, ensuring sustained benefits for crops and environments alike. Company like UMAI CHEMICAL CO., LTD, produces Magnesium Sulfate (crystal) and it offers following characteristics of magnesium sulfate: Excellent solubility in water, it is an agent which is chemically stable, safe, harmless and environmentally friendly and an agent which is less corrosive to metals.

On the basis of type, the global manganese sulfate market is segmented as: Heptahydrate, Anhydrous, Monohydrate and others .The Heptahydrate (Epsom Salt) segment dominated the global market in 2024, while the Heptahydrate (Epsom Salt) is projected to be the fastest–growing segment during the forecast period. Heptahydrate manganese sulfate, denoted as MnSO₄ · 7H₂O, is a crystalline compound widely used in both the agricultural and livestock sectors. In agriculture, it serves as a micronutrient fertilizer, strategically correcting manganese deficiencies in soil.
This corrective action is pivotal for promoting robust plant growth and optimizing crop yields. The compound's efficacy extends to animal husbandry, where it is utilized as a supplement in feed formulations. By doing so, heptahydrate ensures livestock health by maintaining appropriate manganese levels. Practically applied in agriculture through soil application or foliar spray, heptahydrate enhances plant health, fostering a thriving crop environment. Its inclusion in animal feed formulations aligns with the nutritional needs of livestock, contributing to overall well-being. A notable advantage of heptahydrate is its effectiveness in rectifying manganese deficiencies, benefiting both crops and animals.
On the basis of End User, the global manganese sulfate market is segmented as: Fertilizer, Pharmaceuticals, Food Additives, Industrial, Chemical and others .The Fertilizer segment dominated the global market in 2024, while the Fertilizer is projected to be the fastest–growing segment during the forecast period. The fertilizer segment accounted for the largest market share of 29% in 2022, with a market value of USD 230.98 billion; it is expected to register the highest CAGR of 5.70% during the forecast period. It is estimated to be valued at USD 353.59 billion in 2035.
This high share is attributable to the increasing demand for magnesium sulfate in agriculture, driven by a growing focus on sustainable farming practices, improved crop yields, and increasing awareness of the compound's effectiveness in enhancing soil fertility. Manganese sulfate is a pivotal micronutrient in fertilizers, revolutionizing plant growth and development. Its fundamental role in photosynthesis, nitrogen metabolism, and enzyme activation underscores its significance. Whether applied to the soil or administered as a foliar spray, manganese sulfate diligently rectifies manganese deficiencies in plants, fostering superior crop yields and enhanced crop quality.
Based on the region, the Magnesium Sulfate Market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, Middle East & Africa.
