2025-2033年硫肥市場報告(依類型、栽培類型、作物類型、形式、施用方式及地區)Sulfur Fertilizers Market Report by Type, Cultivation Type, Crop Type, Form, Mode of Application, and Region 2025-2033 |
2024年,全球硫肥市場規模達59億美元。展望未來, IMARC Group預計到2033年,市場規模將達到77億美元,2025-2033年期間的複合年成長率(CAGR)為2.82%。硫肥市場的發展主要得益於政府機構推出的一系列優惠舉措,旨在最大限度地減少硫排放(因為硫排放會對環境產生負面影響),以及富含元素硫的NPK肥料的推出。
策略夥伴關係與合作
許多國家的主要參與者正在達成協議,以提高硫肥的效率並擴大其產品組合。這反過來又刺激了市場成長。例如,2020年3月,美盛公司宣布與澳洲阿德萊德大學金融科技研究中心(FTRC)達成協議,並專注於提高肥料的效率。同樣,2020年2月,ICL宣布收購美國種植者控股公司(Growers Holdings Inc.),這是一家數據驅動農業的創新者,提供有關田間施用和施肥的多樣化資訊。
政府機構法規
各國監管機構正致力於提高養分利用效率,並盡量減少對環境的影響,進而促進硫肥市場的發展。例如,各種硫肥已被納入《肥料管制令》(FCO)。此外,硫含量也是肥料規格的一部分。政府機構正在進一步實施嚴格的法規,強制要求在產品包裝上標示硫含量。同時,政府也提供稅收優惠和財政補貼,鼓勵農民使用硫肥。例如,印度政府將硫肥的補貼提高到每公斤3.56盧比,但對其他非尿素養分的支持保持不變,以促進農業補充劑的均衡使用。為了滿足日益成長的糧食需求,從而提高農業生產力,監管機構正在推出優惠政策,推廣硫肥等有效土壤補充劑的使用。例如,印度總理帕拉丹·曼特里·基桑·薩曼·尼迪(PM-KISAN)等政策正在幫助提升全國農業產業。作為該計劃的一部分,每四個月向全國農民家庭支付 2000 盧比,同時每年提供 6000 盧比的收入支持,幫助他們更加專注於農業,從而推動硫肥市場的收入。
新型硫肥的應用日益廣泛
元素硫肥在石油精煉、橡膠製造、農業化學品等終端產業中廣泛應用,其推出正提升硫肥市場價值。例如,2021年6月,加拿大公司Northern Nutrients宣布將利用荷蘭皇家殼牌的Thiogro技術開發一座新的硫生產工廠,將微粉化元素硫轉化為尿素顆粒。此外,Nutrien公司推出了Smart Nutrition MAP+MST肥料,該肥料通常將微粉化硫與磷酸鹽結合,為植物提供全年持續的養分供應。這些創新將在預測期內繼續推動硫肥市場的發展。
The global sulfur fertilizers market size reached USD 5.9 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 7.7 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.82% during 2025-2033. The sulfur fertilizers market is primarily propelled by the launch of favorable initiatives by government bodies to minimize sulfur emissions, owing to their negative impact on the environment, along with the introduction of elemental sulfur enriched NPK fertilizers.
Strategic Partnerships and Collaborations
Key players across numerous countries are entering into agreements to enhance the efficiency of sulfur fertilizers and expand their product portfolio. This, in turn, is stimulating the market growth. For example, in March 2020, the Mosaic Company announced an agreement with the Financial Technology Research Centre (FTRC) at the University of Adelaide in Australia to emphasize on enhancing the efficiency of fertilizers. Similarly, in February 2020, ICL stated the acquisition of Growers Holdings Inc. (US), an innovator in data-driven farming, that offers diversified information on on-field applications and fertilization.
Regulations by Government Bodies
The regulatory bodies across the countries are focusing on offering more efficient nutrient use and minimizing environmental impact, thereby catalyzing the sulfur fertilizers market. For instance, various sulfur fertilizers have been included in the Fertilizer Control Order (FCO). Moreover, their sulfur content is a part of the fertilizer specifications. Government bodies are further implementing stringent regulations to make it mandatory to declare the sulfur content in the product on the bag. In line with this, they are also providing tax benefits and fiscal benefits to encourage the farmers to use sulfur fertilizers. For example, the government in India increased the subsidy on sulfur fertilizer to Rs 3.56 per kg. It kept the support unchanged for other non-urea nutrients to promote the balanced use of farm supplements. To meet the increasing food demand that requires enhanced agricultural productivity, regulatory authorities are launching favorable policies to promote the usage of effective soil supplements, such as sulfur fertilizers. For example, policies, including Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) in India, are helping in elevating the agricultural industry across the country. The payments of Rs.2000 are made to the families of farmers nationwide every four months as part of the Scheme, which, in turn, offers annual income support of Rs. 6000 to help them concentrate more on farming, thereby propelling the sulfur fertilizers market revenue.
Increasing Applications of Novel Sulfur Fertilizers
The introduction of elemental sulfur fertilizers that are gaining extensive applications in end-use industries, including petroleum refining, rubber manufacturing firms, agrochemicals, etc., is bolstering the sulfur fertilizers market value. For instance, in June 2021, Northern Nutrients, a Canadian company, announced the development of a new sulfur production plant by utilizing Royal Dutch Shell's Thiogro technology, which converts micronized elemental sulfur into urea granules. Furthermore, Nutrien introduced Smart Nutrition MAP+MST fertilizer, which usually combines micronized sulfur with phosphates, and offers plants a consistent supply of nutrients all season long. These innovations will continue to drive the sulfur fertilizers market over the forecasted period.
Sulfate fertilizers, including potassium sulfate, ammonium sulfate (AS), magnesium sulfate, etc., usually contain sulfur in the commonly available sulfate form. Elemental sulfur fertilizers are natural minerals that require to be oxidized by soil bacteria to the sulfate form before plants can utilize them. Besides this, liquid sulfur fertilizers offer a quick source of sulfur to plants, especially during periods of high sulfur demand. As such, they are gaining extensive traction, as they aid in promoting healthy plant growth and improving crop yield.
Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) generally utilizes advanced science to cultivate crops in a controlled setting. Moreover, greenhouses and other enclosed and temperature-controlled spaces are adopted for the cultivation process, where the roots of the plants receive a steady supply of fertilizer, water, and sunlight. The controlled environment agriculture technique is environmentally safe and yields high-value crops at optimum productivity. Apart from this, sulfur fertilizers that assist crops in holding onto moisture are especially useful in conservation-intensive agriculture, as they minimize water needs.
For individuals in underdeveloped nations, pulses and oilseeds are staple crops farmed in semi-arid tropical climates. As crops in these regions have a sulfur deficiency, there is an inflating requirement for plant nutrients, such as sulfur fertilizers, to grow oilseeds. Moreover, these fertilizers are extensively used across the globe to produce more yield and effective fruits and vegetables on the available arable land.
The growing consumer awareness towards liquid sulfur fertilizers, as they are quickly absorbed by plants and simple to use, is primarily driving the market growth. For example, in 2021, Yara International ASA developed a product variant, known as the YaraVita Optimum, which is a liquid sulfur fertilizer. It was specifically formulated to enhance crop quality and yield. Similarly, in 2020, Nutrien Ltd. introduced eNpower, which is a liquid sulfur fertilizer. However, based on the form, dry sulfur fertilizers are gaining extensive traction among farmers, owing to their ease of handling and cost-effectiveness.
Incorporating sulfur into the soil helps in improving its availability to plants over time. Besides this, foliar applications involve spraying a dilute solution of sulfur fertilizer directly onto the leaves of plants. On the other hand, fertigation can be particularly beneficial in areas where sulfur deficiencies are common.
Asia Pacific leads the market, accounting for the largest sulfur fertilizers market share.
The market research report has also provided a comprehensive analysis of all the major regional markets, which include North America (the United States and Canada); Asia Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, Australia, Indonesia, and others); Europe (Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Russia, and others); Latin America (Brazil, Mexico, and others); and the Middle East and Africa.
Sulfur is produced in all world regions, but half of all production takes place in North America and the Middle East. Moreover, around 36 million tons of sulfur are traded annually, accounting for 53% of total sulfur production. The Middle East accounts for over 40% of exports. Favorable programs by government bodies in North America supporting environmentally friendly farming methods are propelling the demand for sulfur fertilizers. Furthermore, the widespread use of sustainable agriculture techniques, especially in countries, including India and China, is augmenting the adoption of sulfur fertilizers.
