Ammonium Sulfate Market Dynamics

Driver: Growing population and shrinking arable land

In 2020, farmers face an unprecedented challenge of producing large quantities of food grains within a limited timeframe due to the global population explosion. This is compounded by the fact that the amount of arable land per person has decreased as the population grows. The increasing demand for housing and commercial infrastructure development further increases farmers' pressure to maximize crop production on limited available lands. The scarcity of agricultural land is a significant obstacle to crop production. In 2006, the global population was 6.60 billion, with per capita arable land at 0.20 hectares. By 2016, the global population had risen to 7.4 billion, and per capita available land had decreased to just 0.19 hectares, a trend that persists in 2020. Out of the total land area of 12 billion hectares, only 1.6 billion hectares are used for agricultural purposes. Asia Pacific accounts for 39% of this land, while Europe, Africa, and the Middle East collectively have 36%. North America covers 15%, and the remaining 10% is in Latin America. The availability of arable land per person is decreasing worldwide and is expected to continue declining, leading to an increased reliance on fertilizers to enhance crop yields. The growing number of construction projects and rapid industrialization in developing economies, particularly in Asia Pacific, Western Europe, and Central America, pose a further threat of land loss for infrastructure development. These factors are projected to drive the demand for ammonium sulfate in nitrogenous fertilizer production in the coming years.

Driver: Robust growth of the overall fertilizer industry

Fertilizers are utilized to enhance soil productivity. They can be categorized into two types: organic and inorganic. Organic fertilizers consist of manure, fish meal, granite meal, and seaweed. On the other hand, inorganic fertilizers include nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus fertilizers. In comparison to organic fertilizers, inorganic fertilizers are more commonly used as they provide quicker results. Inorganic fertilizers can be divided into two main sub-categories: macronutrients and micronutrients. Over the years, the consumption of fertilizers has steadily increased. Between 2005 and 2016, fertilizer consumption per hectare of arable land rose from 115.84 kg to 140.55 kg. However, there was a slowdown in consumption between 2007 and 2009 due to the global financial crisis. Since 2010, many countries have recovered economically, leading to a resurgence in agricultural activities and an increased demand for chemical fertilizers. Consequently, the market for ammonium sulfate-based fertilizers has experienced significant growth.

Restraint: High environmental impact

Fertilizers and other agricultural inputs contain chemicals and synthetic components that enhance plant growth. However, they also have detrimental effects on the environment in the long term. When used in large quantities, fertilizers can decrease soil fertility by increasing acidity levels and depleting its quality for future use. Eutrophication is another negative consequence of fertilizers on the environment. Fertilizers containing phosphates and nitrates, when carried through sewage and rain into oceans and lakes, contribute to excessive algae growth, reducing oxygen levels in water reserves. This decrease in oxygen ultimately results in the death of aquatic fauna and flora, including fish. Moreover, the synthetic chemicals in fertilizers can negatively impact groundwater reserves used for drinking water and can cause various diseases. One such disease is blue baby syndrome, which affects infants and is caused by water contaminated with nitrates. The continued use of synthetic fertilizers increases the risk of soil contamination and depletes underground water quality for future use. Depending on their composition, fossil fuels contain several chemicals, such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, methane, and ammonia. The release of these compounds can contribute to an increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change. Nitrogen, found abundantly in fertilizers, produces nitrous oxide as a byproduct, the third most significant greenhouse gas after methane and carbon dioxide. These factors are expected to limit the use of chemical-based fertilizers, including ammonium sulfate, in the future.
