H1 2023: Major producers of Ammonium Sulphate in H1 2023 were OCI Fertilizer Group, Royal DSM, AdvanSIx, and Nutrien. In March 2023, Enva, an innovative recycling company, began building a first-of-its-kind fertilizer manufacturing plant at their location in Greenogue, Dublin. Ammonium Sulphate (AMS) produced from industrial liquid waste will be used to make agricultural fertilizer pellets at the site. This EUR 5 million investment is intended to change the way fertilizer is produced across the world. It also demonstrates Enva's commitment to developing long-term solutions that benefit the environment and society. Regionally, Asia Pacific was the region that consumed the highest amount of ammonium sulphate in H1 2023. However, Ammonium Sulphate prices fell throughout H1 2023. Prices in China fell continuously from January 2023 to June 2023. The major cause was the low prices of feedstock and low procurement orders from Chinese and international markets. Furthermore, China faced low exports at the end of May, resulting in surplus material availability in the market. Depreciating end-user industries’ demand, along with abundant material supply, led to a narrow demand-supply gap in the Chinese market. Similarly, in the US market, the fundamentals of the Ammonium Sulphate market remained sluggish in H1 2023, owing to low demand and a gloomy demand outlook. The region had a sufficient supply of Ammonium Sulphate to meet the needs of the end-user agriculture sector. Less buying activity was noticed in H1 2023, resulting in a surplus of ammonium sulphate in the US market.
H1 2022: In 2022, the global demand of Ammonium Sulphate reached approximately 21.5 million tonnes with a growth of 5% in comparison to 2021. Giant producers of Ammonium Sulphate in H1 2022 were Royal DSM, AdvanSIx, OCI Fertilizer Group, and Nutrien. Among these, Royal DSM was leading in terms of production and held a market share of approximately 7% in H1 2022. Regionally, Asia Pacific was the leading consumer of ammonium sulphate. Furthermore, as a result of high raw material ammonia prices and low sulphur supply rate, the price of ammonium sulphate was on the rise. Due to increased international demand and rise in freight costs, fertilizer prices in China witnessed a growth. There was a rise in fertilizer prices as a result of constrained supply chains and higher input costs also supported the trend of the rise in prices of ammonium sulphate. Similar trend was observed across Europe. Since the beginning of the year, ammonium sulphate demand had increased across Europe as a result of improving market state for primary raw materials. The dynamics of ammonium sulphate was aided by the rising demand from downstream sectors such as agriculture. Political tension between Eastern European nations and their dependance on Russia for raw material exports led to supply chain disturbance, thus leading to price increase.
H2 2022: During H2 2022, the Ammonium Sulphate production rates grew further momentum and reached approximately 11.5 million tonnes. Asia Pacific displayed a different market behavior in comparison to H1 2022. Prices for ammonium sulphate decreased in the APAC area. The Indian ammonium sulphate market had suffered as a result of the decline in raw material cost support and the muted demand from the downstream fertilizer sector. The cost of ammonium sulphate in the Chinese market faced a downward spiral as a result of declining feedstock prices. The downstream demand was on lower side as a result of Indonesia's market's unstable economy. The European market witnessed an interesting pattern. In the first half of H2 2022, the prices of ammonium sulphate were high. Inflation in Germany increased significantly in July 2022. The market's situation remained uneven, and the supply was still moderate to low. Access to commodities from Asia and the US was impeded due to labor unrest and congestion at numerous German ports. Additionally, falling inventory levels led to insufficient supply levels. However, around October 2022, Ammonium Sulphate market was bearish in Europe. Certain ammonium sulphate manufacturers had lowered the price of their product to a point where customers were eager to re-purchase, thus, ammonium sulphate prices fell throughout Europe. On the demand side, the regional demand was still being weighed down by concerns of recession. However, the demand for ammonium sulphate from the downstream industries had fallen across Europe.
The global Ammonium Sulphate market demand stood at 21.5 million tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.47% during the forecast period until 2032.
Ammonium Sulphate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula (NH₄)₂SO₄. Ammonium Sulphate is water soluble in nature and extensively used in the agriculture sector. Ammonium sulfate is mainly developed as a byproduct of coke oven and caprolactam processes. Although, this compound can also be produced synthetically by neutralizing dilute sulfuric acid with an ammonia solution. Because of its high nitrogen content, it is the most frequently used supplement for soil and grasses that lack nitrogen. Additionally, the product has the capacity to mix readily with nitrogen fertilizers, improving the fertilizer's functionality and durability.
The primary driver of the global Ammonium Sulphate market is its usage by Fertilizer Industry across the globe. The product decomposes in the soil to produce ammonia, Sulphur dioxide, nitrogen, and water. Crops use nitrogen and ammonia to form amino acids, whereas sulfur is required for metabolism. Ammonium Sulphate is mostly utilized to lessen the acidity of alkaline soils. Over the projected period, rising fertilizer usage in countries with a strong agricultural sector is anticipated to create a demand for ammonium sulphate as a raw material for preparing these fertilizers. Ammonium sulphate-based fertilizers are increasingly being used in fertilizer formulations worldwide due to rising consumer demand for food items. Rising crop demand and reduced cultivable land with fast-paced urbanization will most likely augment the market expansion. The size of the global Ammonium Sulphate market is estimated to reach a volume of roughly 30 million tonnes by 2032.
Based on region, the Asia Pacific is the leading consumer of the Ammonium Sulphate market. In 2022, Asia Pacific held a market share of approximately 41% of the global Ammonium Sulphate. It is anticipated that Asia Pacific will remain the biggest consumer. Over the projected period, rising fertilizer usage is anticipated mainly in developing nations such as India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka which is likely to promote the market expansion in the coming years. These countries have a strong agricultural background where farming is a common occupation. Rapid population growth in these developing countries is driving up demand for crops and fertilizers thus directly impacting the global Ammonium Sulphate market. Additionally, Asia Pacific region dominates the market also in terms of production with China being the significant player.
Based on the end-user industry, the global Ammonium Sulphate market is segmented into Agriculture Industry, Pharmaceuticals, Food & Feed Additives, and Others. The Agriculture Industry is the major market consumer with a share of roughly 72% in 2022. Owing to the growing population and high demand for crops, the agriculture industry is anticipated to foresee an expansion in the forecast period.
