According to a new report by UnivDatos Market Insights, The Ammonium Sulfate Market was valued at approximately USD 4.6 Billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a robust CAGR of around 6.84% during the forecast period (2024-2032)
The global ammonium sulfate is a significant market within the agricultural and chemical industry due to its key role as a nitrogen and sulfur-based fertilizer. Ammonium sulfate is a crystalline substance whose chemical formula is (NH₄)₂SO₄ and both elements Nitrogen and sulfur are nutrients needed by plants. It is mainly applied in alkaline tracts, which enhance the status of the soils let alone the solutions that help to reduce pH on the soils and consequently enhance yields on crops. More people are being added to the population, all over the world, and this has put pressure on agriculturists to produce more food to feed the ever-increasing population this has been facilitated by the ammonium sulfate. Further, the compound is useful in numerous ways in food and chemical industries; therefore, it’s a common product in many industries.
This paper aims at analysing the demand aspects, application, the cost incurred and the process of manufacturing ammonium sulfate keeping in mind the factors that determine the ammonium sulfate market across the globe.

Demand Dynamics
Ammonium sulfate is by far mostly used in farming for its use as a fertilizer; therefore, its demand is high depending on the farming practices. With the increase in food demand all over the world, farmers are looking for reliable ways of increasing their yields and ammonium sulfate has been established to improve the fertility of the soil especially in areas with sulfur deficiency. Also, the rising consumption of ammonium sulfate in the production of rice, wheat, maize, and oil seeds farming has propelled the expansion of the market particularly in developing countries with large agriculture industries.
Another factor that supports an increase in demand is the increasing understanding of the role of sulfur as an element-macronutrient for plants. Originally, a high emphasis has been placed on nitrogenous fertilizers, although recent research has revealed that sulfurizes are also essential for the development of plants as their shortage in the soil can negatively affect plant growth. Due to its ability to correct both deficient nutrients of nitrogen and sulfur, ammonium sulfate is preferred by farmers.
Apart from farming, ammonium sulfate as a chemical input is also used in an industrial application such as a catalyst in the formation of caprolactam which in turn is a chemical used in the synthesis of nylon. It is also used in the water treatment industry for the treatment of both drinking water and wastewater which also boosts the demand.
Applications
Agriculture: Ammonium sulfate has agricultural importance; it is used as a fertilizer regarded as a necessity for plants’ growth. It is most appropriate on crops that grow well in sulfur conditions, including corn, canola, and soybeans. Besides supplying nitrogen, it also promotes root development and ensures good growth and development of the plants. ammonium sulfate is mostly used in alkaline soils as this will reduce the soil pH, hence enhancing nutrient availability.
Food Industry: Ammonium sulfate is also applied in food processing since it is used as a food additive, specifically, as a bread condition. The other way it enhances the dough is by helping to refresh the baked products such as cakes, breads, cookies, muffins, etc. The food industry also uses it as a yeast nutrient in brewing processes Brewed beers and other alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages can be brewed using brewer’s yeast.
Chemical Industry: In the chemical industry ammonium sulfate functions as a supply for other chemicals production such as flame retardants, herbicides, and insecticides. This is used in the production of caprolactam used in nylon fibers and resin manufacturing industries, thus, its importance. This implies that the demand for the compound is not only limited to agriculture but rather occurs in many industries, especially in chemical production.
Water Treatment: This compound has applicability in the water purification process as well as in wastewater treatment. Ammonium sulfate is used in the purification of drinking water and water waste treatment hence it has an importance in environmental conservation.
Pharmaceuticals: However, the use of ammonium sulfate is slightly less compared to the other two; it is also used in the pharmaceutical industries to purify proteins in formulations of medicines.
Regional Insights
Asia-Pacific dominates the global ammonium sulfate market, with China and India being the largest consumers, primarily due to their extensive agricultural sectors. In North America and Europe, demand is also robust, driven by both agriculture and industrial applications. The Middle East and Africa region shows potential for growth as agricultural practices modernize and the demand for fertilizers rises.
