Research Reports incorporated a definite business overview and investigation
inclines on "Ammonium Sulfate
Market ". This report likewise incorporates more illumination
about fundamental review of the business including definitions, requisitions
and worldwide business sector industry structure.
Ammonium sulfate is an inorganic salt which occurs
naturally in volcanic fumaroles as a rare mineral, mascagnite. It is prepared
by the treatment of ammonia, often as a by-product from coke-ovens with
sulfuric acid. Ammonium sulfate is also produced by gypsum which is treated
with ammonium carbonate solution to give the precipitate of calcium carbonate
leaving ammonium sulfate in the solution. It has high sulfur content in the
sulfate form, making it easily absorbable by plants, and low pH making it
suitable for alkaline soils. It is consumed in a wide range of applications
such as fertilizers for alkaline soils, purifying protein, flame retardants, food
additives, and for the preparation of ammonium salts such as ammonium
persulfate. Ammonium sulfate is one of the most extensively consumed nitrogen
fertilizers for crop production, which is considered valuable where both
nitrogen and sulfur are required on account of its high solubility providing
versatility to various agricultural applications. Small amounts of ammonium
sulfate are also used in applications such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals and
cattle feed supplements.
The global market for ammonium sulfate is highly
dependent on a number of factors such as the fertilizer industry and the
stringent environmental regulations related to it. However, as a major portion
of ammonium sulfate is manufactured involuntarily as a co-product or
by-product, its volume of production is influenced more by the general
industrial output than by the demand for fertilizers. Moreover, as ammonium
sulfate is a by-product of caprolactum, the market is highly affected by
developments in the caprolactum market. With the growing production of
caprolactum in Asia Pacific, potential for interference in the ammonium sulfate
industry is anticipated to be significant over the next few years. The global
demand for ammonium sulfate is expected to increase in areas with rising
sulfur-deficient soils, especially in areas with tight environmental controls
such as North America.
Increasing demand for nitrogen fertilizers is anticipated to one of the major growth factors driving the demand for ammonium sulfate. Ammonium sulfate, as a nitrogenous fertilizer competes with ammonium nitrate, ammonium phosphates, and urea. In addition, sulfur is becoming increasingly popular as a vital nutrient for plant growth owing to ability to synthesize vitamins, enzymes, proteins, amino acids and chlorophyll. It has found to be highly beneficial to a wide range of crops such as wheat, vegetables, rice, potatoes and corn. Although there are no major environmental and health concerns involved with the consumption of ammonium sulfate, environmental concern does, however, play a significant role in the ammonium sulfate market. A significant portion of the global ammonium sulfate production comes as a direct result of the necessity to remove sulfur dioxide from stack gases at various metal refining and metal smelting operations in order to meet the requirements of government regulations to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions. Hence, a large potential source of additional by-product ammonium sulfate production comes from sulfur dioxide recovery from coal-fired electrical generating stations. This factor is expected to slow down the growth of the market. Growing trend towards the development of bio-based fertilizers such as nitrogen fixation biofertilizers is expected to provide new opportunities for the growth of the market.
Amresco Inc., BASF SE, Domo Chemicals, Martin Midstream, General Chemical, GFS Chemicals Inc., Honeywell, Royal DSM and Sigma-Aldrich Corporation are some of the key manufacturers of ammonium sulfate present in the industry.
