Global Ammonium <strong>and</strong> potassium Market<br />

The Global Ammonium <strong>and</strong> Potassium Thiosulfate Market was worth USD xx billion in<br />

2017 <strong>and</strong> is projected to grow at a CAGR of xx%, to reach USD xx billion by 2022.<br />

Ammonium thiosulfate is a great source of nitrogen <strong>and</strong> sulfur. It contains 26% of sulfur<br />

<strong>and</strong> 12% of nitrogen, both of which are major components of plant proteins. Potassium<br />

Thiosulfate is an excellent source of potash <strong>and</strong> sulfur. It contains 17% sulfur <strong>and</strong> 25%<br />

of potash. Potash is one of the most essential nutrients required by the plants.<br />

Both <strong>ammonium</strong> <strong>and</strong> potassium thiosulfate are used as fertilizers in a variety of crops.<br />

Moreover, both are compatible with each other when mixed in any ratio. They can be<br />

applied as starter fertilizers for corn <strong>and</strong> other small seeded crops. They can be used on<br />

crops, ornamental shrubs <strong>and</strong> golf courses through soil, foliar, fertigation applications.<br />

Growing dem<strong>and</strong> for water soluble macro nutrient fertilizers, compatibility of <strong>ammonium</strong><br />

<strong>and</strong> potassium thiosulfate fertilizers with many crop protection chemicals <strong>and</strong> the wide<br />

range of applications of these products are driving the market growth. However,<br />

availability of various alternatives to these fertilizers <strong>and</strong> growing trend of organic<br />

agriculture are inhibiting the market growth.<br />

The Ammonium <strong>and</strong> Potassium Thiosulfate market is segmented by type, method of<br />

application <strong>and</strong> region. Based on the type, the market is segmented into Ammonium<br />

Thiosulfate <strong>and</strong> Potassium Thiosulfate. Potassium thiosulfate holds the largest market<br />

share by a small margin due to its application as a starter <strong>and</strong> pop-up fertilizer apart from<br />

normal applications. By Application, the market is categorized into Soil Applied, Foliar<br />

Application <strong>and</strong> Fertigation. Ammonium thiosulfate is widely applied using fertigation <strong>and</strong><br />

foliar methods as it is widely available as liquid fertilizer. Potassium thiosulfate is applied<br />

using all three of the application methods <strong>and</strong> the method is chosen depending on the<br />

type of crop it is used on.<br />

On the basis of region, the global Ammonium <strong>and</strong> Potassium Thiosulfate market is<br />

segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East <strong>and</strong><br />

Africa. North America leads the <strong>ammonium</strong> <strong>and</strong> potassium thiosulfate market due to the<br />

high market penetration <strong>and</strong> high usage rate on corn crops. Asia Pacific is the fastest<br />

growing market due to the large dem<strong>and</strong> for water soluble fertilizers in China <strong>and</strong> India.<br />

Some of the major players in Ammonium <strong>and</strong> Potassium Thiosulfate market are<br />

Tessenderlo Group, Koch Fertilizer, Agrium, Martin Midstream Partners, Rentech<br />

Nitrogen, Poole Chem, Mears Fertilizer, Hydrite Chemical, Kugler, <strong>and</strong> R.W. Griffin.<br />
