2025-2033年硫肥市场报告(依类型、栽培类型、作物类型、形式、施用方式及地区)Sulfur Fertilizers Market Report by Type, Cultivation Type, Crop Type, Form, Mode of Application, and Region 2025-2033 |
2024年,全球硫肥市场规模达59亿美元。展望未来, IMARC Group预计到2033年,市场规模将达到77亿美元,2025-2033年期间的复合年增长率(CAGR)为2.82%。硫肥市场的发展主要得益于政府机构推出的一系列优惠倡议,旨在最大限度地减少硫排放(因为硫排放会对环境产生负面影响),以及富含元素硫的NPK肥料的推出。
策略伙伴关係与合作
许多国家的主要参与者正在达成协议,以提高硫肥的效率并扩大其产品组合。这反过来又刺激了市场成长。例如,2020年3月,美盛公司宣布与澳洲阿德莱德大学金融科技研究中心(FTRC)达成协议,并专注于提高肥料的效率。同样,2020年2月,ICL宣布收购美国种植者控股公司(Growers Holdings Inc.),这是一家数据驱动农业的创新者,提供有关田间施用和施肥的多样化资讯。
政府机构法规
各国监管机构正致力于提高养分利用效率,并尽量减少对环境的影响,进而促进硫肥市场的发展。例如,各种硫肥已被纳入《肥料管制令》(FCO)。此外,硫含量也是肥料规格的一部分。政府机构正在进一步实施严格的法规,强制要求在产品包装上标示硫含量。同时,政府也提供税收优惠和财政补贴,鼓励农民使用硫肥。例如,印度政府将硫肥的补贴提高到每公斤3.56卢比,但对其他非尿素养分的支持保持不变,以促进农业补充剂的均衡使用。为了满足日益增长的粮食需求,从而提高农业生产力,监管机构正在推出优惠政策,推广硫肥等有效土壤补充剂的使用。例如,印度总理帕拉丹·曼特里·基桑·萨曼·尼迪(PM-KISAN)等政策正在帮助提升全国农业产业。作为该计划的一部分,每四个月向全国农民家庭支付 2000 卢比,同时每年提供 6000 卢比的收入支持,帮助他们更加专注于农业,从而推动硫肥市场的收入。
新型硫肥的应用日益广泛
元素硫肥在石油精炼、橡胶製造、农业化学品等终端产业中广泛应用,其推出正提升硫肥市场价值。例如,2021年6月,加拿大公司Northern Nutrients宣布将利用荷兰皇家壳牌的Thiogro技术开发一座新的硫生产工厂,将微粉化元素硫转化为尿素颗粒。此外,Nutrien公司推出了Smart Nutrition MAP+MST肥料,该肥料通常将微粉化硫与磷酸盐结合,为植物提供全年持续的养分供应。这些创新将在预测期内继续推动硫肥市场的发展。
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.
