Sulfur Fertilizers Market
Global Sulfur Fertilizers Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.2%
Market dynamics for sulfur fertilizers continue to evolve on the basis of key drivers and restraints. The growth of the sulfur fertilizers market is driven by the increasing sulfur deficiency in soil, intensive agricultural processes, growing demand for sulfur deficient crops such as canola, and increasing demand for higher agricultural productivity.The key drivers and restraints in sulfur fertilizers market are enlisted below.
Key drivers for sulfur fertilizers include:
- Increasing sulfur deficiency in soil
- Growth in demand for crops to result in sulfur deficiency
- Sulfur emission regulations driving demand for added sulfur
- High consumption of traditional sulfate fertilizers to drive the market growth
Restraints impeding the market include:
- Growing trend of consuming organic fertilizers to reduce the demand for sulfur fertilizers
A majority of the global oilseed production occurs in semi-arid tropical areas where the average yield is low. The oilseeds are drought-tolerant with low transpiration. Hence, crops in these regions suffer from sulfur deficiency due to insufficient supply. Soybean, canola, and groundnut are the major crops considered under this segment. The sulfur requirement in oilseeds is comparatively high than the other crops, and hence, it projected to dominate the sulfur fertilizers market during the forecast period. The leading crop segments are ranked below by their application.

[207 Pages Report] The global sulfur fertilizers market is estimated to be valued at USD 4.6 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach a value of USD 5.1 billion by 2025, recording a CAGR of 2.2% during the forecast period. Factors such as the increase in sulfur deficiencies in the soil and high consumption of traditional sulfate fertilizers are projected to drive the growth of the sulfur fertilizers market.
By crop type, the oilseeds & pulses segment is projected to be the fastest-growing in the sulfur fertilizers market during the forecast period.
A majority of the global oilseed production occurs in semi-arid tropical areas where the average yield is low. The oilseeds are drought-tolerant with low transpiration. Hence, crops in these regions suffer from sulfur deficiency due to insufficient supply. Soybean, canola, and groundnut are the major crops considered under this segment that utilize sulfur fertilizers. Sulfur is used as a plant nutrient for the synthesis of oil and the production of proteins. The sulfur requirement in oilseeds is comparatively higher than the other crops. Hence, it is projected to dominate the market during the forecast period.
By type, the sulfates segment is projected to dominate the global market during the forecast period.
In 2025, the sulfates segment is projected to dominate the global market in terms of value. This is due to the high consumption of traditional and new sulfate fertilizers, such as ammonium sulfate, single superphosphate, ammonium phosphate sulfate, potassium sulfate, and sulfates of micronutrients, across regions. In addition, the main advantage offered by sulfate fertilizers is its sulfur supply in the form of sulfate, which is readily available to plants.
By form, the dry segment is projected to be the fastest-growing in the sulfur fertilizers market during the forecast period.
The dry segment is projected to dominate the market due to its extended shelf life and relatively low cost. In addition, the consumption of the dry form of sulfur fertilizers, such as ammonium sulfate, single superphosphate, ammonium phosphate sulfate, and elemental sulfur, is high across the globe. These factors are projected to drive the growth of the market.
The high demand for various crops in the Asia Pacific regions is projected to drive the growth of the market.
The increase in agricultural practices and requirements for high-quality agricultural produce are factors that are projected to drive the growth of the market in the Asia Pacific region. According to the World Bank, nearly 56.2% and 60.4% of the entire land area accounted for agricultural production in China and India, respectively, in 2015. Major crops produced in Asia include rice, sugar beet, fruits & vegetables, cereals, and grains; the region consumes nearly 90% of the global rice produced. There is a high demand for sulfur fertilizers in Asia Pacific due to its direct use to treat sulfur deficiencies. They are often sprayed in combination or as additives to NPK products.

The study involved four major activities for estimating the share of the sulfur fertilizers market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, peer market, and parent market. These findings, assumptions, and market sizes were validated with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both the top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. Thereafter, the market breakdown and data triangulation approaches were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.
Secondary Research
In the secondary research process, various secondary sources, such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), International Fertilizer Association (IFA), The Sulphur Institute (TSI), United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the ministries of the agricultural department in various countries, corporate filings (such as annual reports, press releases, investor presentations, and financial statements), and trade, business, and professional associations, were considered. The secondary data was collected and analyzed to arrive at the overall market size, which was further validated by primary research.
Primary Research
The sulfur fertilizers market comprises several stakeholders, such as agricultural manufacturers, formulators and blenders, fertilizer traders, suppliers, distributors, importers and exporters, raw material suppliers, and technology providers to sulfur fertilizer manufacturers, The agricultural co-operative societies, fertilizers associations and industry bodies, and government agricultural departments and regulatory bodies. The market is driven mainly by factors such as the rise in the use of low-sulfur containing fertilizers and the decrease in the sulfur deposition in the atmosphere due to the introduction of strict regulations on sulfur emissions.
Various primary sources from both the supply and demand sides of the market were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information.
Market Size Estimation
Both the top-down and bottom-up approaches were used to estimate and validate the total size of the sulfur fertilizers market. These methods were also used extensively to estimate the size of various subsegments in the market. The research methodology used to estimate the market size includes the following:
- The key players in the industry and markets were identified through extensive secondary research.
- Major regions were identified, along with countries contributing to the maximum share.
- The industrys supply chain and market size, in terms of value, was determined through primary and secondary research processes.
- All percentage shares, splits, and breakdowns were determined using secondary sources and verified through primary respondents
Data Triangulation
After arriving at the overall market sizeusing the market size estimation processes as explained abovethe market was split into several segments and subsegments. To complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics of each market segment and subsegment, the data triangulation and market breakdown procedures were employed. The data was triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both the demand and supply sides in the market.
