硫基微量营养素透过支持氨基酸合成、叶绿素形成和酶活性等基本生理过程,在促进植物生长和农业生产力方面发挥着至关重要的作用。这些微量营养素通常由硫等元素与锌、锰和铁等其他营养素组合而成,可以提高营养吸收和利用效率。硫对富含蛋白质的作物(如油籽和豆类)尤其有益,因为它可以提高氮的利用率并促进蛋白质的合成。在现代农业中,由于集约化耕作和大气沉降减少,土壤硫浓度正在下降,硫基微量营养素配方在解决营养缺陷、提高作物产量和支持永续农业实践方面的重要性日益凸显。
PMC 对芦荟的研究表明,与未经处理的对照组相比,施用 45 公斤硫/公顷可使叶片生物量产量平均增加 47%,硫利用效率增加 38%。
减少大气中的硫沉积
传统上,硫是由工业排放的二氧化硫沉淀而提供给农业土壤的。然而,由于严格的环境法规,许多地区,尤其是北美和欧洲,二氧化硫的排放已大幅减少。这导致先前依赖大气硫的土壤出现了意料之外的、儘管对环境有益的养分缺口。此外,这些地区作物的硫缺乏现像日益明显,需要施用含硫微量营养素来维持最佳生长和产量。
开发中地区农民缺乏知识
儘管越来越多的证据显示土壤缺硫,但许多小农和边际农户,尤其是在开发中国家,仍然不了解硫对作物健康的重要性。这些地区的肥料使用通常着重于氮、磷、钾(NPK)等常量营养素,而很少考虑中量营养素和微量营养素。儘管土壤缺硫,但这种无知和知识的缺乏导致了含硫微量营养素的利用不足。此外,在农业推广服务有缺口和资金不足的地区,缺乏知识转移仍然是市场扩张的主要障碍。
肥料配方技术进步
液体微量营养素混合物、缓释性硫化合物和奈米肥料等新技术为硫的施用开闢了新的可能性。这些进展可以最大限度地减少淋溶和挥发而造成的损失,提高养分利用效率,并减少施用频率。例如,奈米硫肥已证明低剂量即可获得良好的吸收率和肥效,有望成为一种经济且可持续的解决方案,符合全球生态友善养分输送系统和智慧农业的发展趋势。
与其他微量营养素的竞争
锌、硼、铁和锰等微量营养素广为人知且积极推广,但它们与含硫微量营养素竞争激烈。在农业推广服务和政府计画中,硫常常被这些营养素所掩盖。在肥料预算有限且补贴上限受限的市场中,含硫产品的市场占有率可能会下降,而对作物生长效果更明显或更直接的营养素则更受青睐。
对于含硫微量营养素市场而言,新冠疫情的影响可谓是喜忧参半。由于劳动力短缺、运输限制以及全球供应链中断,包括含硫产品在内的肥料生产和分销在疫情初期受到了严重阻碍。经济不确定性导致许多农民推迟采购,导致需求暂时下降。儘管如此,各国政府仍将粮食安全放在首位,农业在大多数国家被视为重要部门,这使得农业投入品供应得以恢復,从而实现了逐步復苏。从长远来看,疫情加速了精密农业和土壤健康管理技术的采用,因为农民更加重视提高作物的韧性和产量,这间接刺激了对硫等微量营养素的需求。
预计预测期内硫-膨润土-锌部分将实现最大幅度成长。
预计硫-膨润土-锌肥领域将在预测期内占据最大市场占有率。这种主导地位是由于作物产量和营养品质受到锌缺乏症的不利影响,锌缺乏症在主要农业区(尤其是亚洲和非洲)的土壤中普遍存在。硫-膨润土和锌结合使用时,其缓释特性会增强,进而提高植物的吸收效率。植物酵素的活化、蛋白质的合成和生长激素的调节都依赖锌。随着人们对微量营养素缺乏症的认识不断提高以及食品强化工作的推进,对硫-膨润土-锌等富锌肥料的需求预计将不断增长,这使得该细分市场在商业性至关重要。
预计在预测期内,水果和蔬菜部分将以最高的复合年增长率成长。
预计水果和蔬菜细分市场将在预测期内实现最高成长。消费者对优质、营养和无残留农产品的需求不断增长,尤其是在都市区和出口导向市场,是推动这一成长的关键因素。水果和蔬菜特别容易缺乏微量营养素,而硫对于提升风味、色泽、维生素含量以及抗病虫害能力至关重要。此外,随着精密农业、温室和有机农业实践的兴起,农民开始使用含硫微量营养素,透过均衡营养来优化产量和品质。这推动了这个高价值作物细分市场的快速扩张。
预计亚太地区将在预测期内占据最大的市场占有率,这得益于高人口密度、农业蓬勃发展以及不断增长的粮食需求。中国和印度等国家由于土壤微量营养素(尤其是硫和锌)严重缺乏,以及政府大力推行平衡施肥计划,引领市场。油籽、豆类、小麦和水稻等需硫作物的盛行进一步刺激了硫的消费量。此外,农民意识的不断提高、农业化学品分销网络的不断扩大以及印度土壤健康卡计划等支持性倡议加速了含硫微量营养素的应用,巩固了亚太地区在该领域领先市场的地位。
在预测期内,南美洲地区预计将呈现最高的复合年增长率。这得归功于该地区更加重视作物生产力和土壤肥力管理。为了促进水果、玉米和大豆等高价值作物的大规模生产,巴西和阿根廷等国家正迅速采用先进的施肥技术。该地区的集约化农业严重消耗了微量营养素,因此正在使用富硫肥料。由于农产品出口增加、对微量营养素益处的认识不断加深以及对农业技术和精密农业的投资不断增加,该地区的市场也在扩大。
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Sulfur Based Micronutrients Market is accounted for $507.50 million in 2025 and is expected to reach $1053.66 million by 2032 growing at a CAGR of 11.0% during the forecast period. Sulfur-based micronutrients play a crucial role in enhancing plant growth and agricultural productivity by aiding in essential physiological processes such as amino acid synthesis, chlorophyll formation, and enzyme activity. These micronutrients, which enhance nutrient uptake and efficiency, usually consist of elements like sulfur in combination with other nutrients like zinc, manganese, or iron. Because it promotes nitrogen utilization and aids in protein synthesis, sulfur is particularly useful in crops like oilseeds and legumes that have high protein requirements. In order to address deficiencies, increase crop yield, and support sustainable farming methods, sulfur-based micronutrient formulations have become more significant in modern agriculture as soil sulfur levels fall as a result of intensive farming and decreased atmospheric deposition.
According to PMC research on Aloe vera, applying sulfur at 45 kg S/ha increased leaf biomass yield by an average of 47%, and sulfur use efficiency rose by 38% compared to no-sulfur control.
Reduction in sulfur deposition in the atmosphere
Sulfur has historically been supplied to agricultural soils through rainfall from industrial sulfur dioxide emissions. However, these emissions have significantly decreased in many regions, especially North America and Europe, due to strict environmental regulations. This has unintentionally caused a nutrient gap in soils that previously relied on atmospheric sulfur, despite the fact that it is good for the environment. Additionally, the application of sulfur-based micronutrients is therefore required to maintain optimal growth and productivity, as crops in these areas increasingly show sulfur deficiencies.
Insufficient farmer knowledge in developing areas
The importance of sulfur for crop health is still unknown to many small and marginal farmers, especially in developing nations, despite mounting evidence of sulfur deficiencies in soils. While secondary and micronutrients are given less consideration, fertilizer use in these areas frequently concentrates on macronutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK). Despite soil deficiencies, this ignorance and lack of knowledge result in the underutilization of sulfur-based micronutrients. Furthermore, the lack of knowledge transfer continues to be a major obstacle to market expansion in areas with disparate or underfunded agricultural extension services.
Technological advancements in fertilizer formulations
New possibilities for delivering sulfur are being opened up by emerging technologies like liquid micronutrient blends, slow-release sulfur compounds, and nano-fertilizers. These developments minimize losses from leaching or volatilization, increase the efficiency of nutrient use, and decrease the frequency of application. Nano-sulfur fertilizers, for example, have demonstrated superior absorption and efficacy at lower dosages, creating prospects for economical and sustainable solutions. This is in line with worldwide trends in environmentally friendly nutrient delivery systems and smart agriculture.
Competition from other micronutrients
Micronutrients like zinc, boron, iron, and manganese are well-known and actively promoted, and they compete fiercely with sulfur-based micronutrients. In agricultural extension services and government programs, sulfur's function is frequently overshadowed by these nutrients. Products containing sulfur may see a decline in market share in markets with restricted fertilizer budgets or subsidy caps, as preference may be given to nutrients that have more obvious or immediate effects on crop performance.
In the market for sulfur-based micronutrients, the COVID-19 pandemic had a mixed effect. Production and distribution of fertilizers, including sulfur-based products, were severely hampered in the early stages by labor shortages, transportation restrictions, and disruptions in the global supply chain. There was a brief drop in demand as a result of many farmers delaying purchases because of economic uncertainty. Nonetheless, governments prioritized food security and restarted agricultural input supplies because agriculture was deemed an essential sector in the majority of countries, allowing for a gradual recovery. Longer-term, as farmers concentrated on increasing crop resilience and productivity, the pandemic sped up the adoption of precision farming and soil health management techniques, indirectly boosting the demand for micronutrients like sulfur.
The sulfur-bentonite-zinc segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The sulfur-bentonite-zinc segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period. Crop yields and nutritional quality are negatively impacted by the widespread zinc deficiency in soils across major agricultural regions, especially in Asia and Africa, which is the reason for this dominance. The slow-release characteristics of sulfur-bentonite and zinc are enhanced when combined, increasing the efficiency of plant uptake. Enzyme activation, protein synthesis, and growth hormone regulation in plants all depend on zinc. Demand for zinc-enriched fertilizers, such as sulfur-bentonite-zinc, is anticipated to rise in tandem with increased awareness of micronutrient deficiencies and food fortification initiatives, making this market segment the most commercially significant one.
The fruits & vegetables segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Over the forecast period, the fruits & vegetables segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate. Growing consumer demand, particularly in urban and export-focused markets, for premium, nutrient-dense, residue-free produce is the main driver of this growth. Fruits and vegetables are particularly vulnerable to micronutrient deficiencies, and sulfur is essential for enhancing their flavor, color, vitamin content, and disease and pest resistance. Moreover, sulfur-based micronutrients are being used by growers to optimize yield and quality through balanced nutrition as a result of the growing use of precision farming, greenhouse cultivation, and organic practices. This is driving the market's rapid expansion in this high-value crop segment.
During the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is expected to hold the largest market share, driven by its dense population, extensive agricultural landscape, and rising demand for food. Due to extensive soil micronutrient deficiencies, particularly in sulfur and zinc, and robust government programs encouraging balanced fertilization, nations like China and India are leading the way. Consumption is further increased by the prevalence of crops that require sulfur, such as oilseeds, pulses, wheat, and rice. Furthermore, the adoption of sulfur-based micronutrients has accelerated due to growing farmer awareness, expanding agrochemical distribution networks, and supportive policies such as India's Soil Health Card scheme, solidifying Asia-Pacific's position as the region's leading market in this field.
Over the forecast period, the South America region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR because crop productivity and soil fertility management are receiving more attention. Advanced fertilization techniques are being quickly adopted by nations like Brazil and Argentina in order to facilitate the large-scale production of high-value crops like fruits, corn, and soybeans. Because intensive farming in the area depletes micronutrients significantly, sulfur-enriched fertilizers are being used. The market is also expanding due to increased agricultural exports, increased knowledge of the advantages of micronutrients, and increased investments in agritech and precision farming.
