Ammonium And Potassium Thiosulfate Market

Global Ammonium and Potassium Thiosulfate Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The global ammonium and potassium thiosulfate market size is expected to reach USD 365.98 billion in 2024 and reach USD 506.15 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2024 to 2029.  

Ammonium thiosulfate is a great source of nitrogen and sulfur. It contains 26% of sulfur and 12% of nitrogen, both of which are major components of plant proteins. Potassium Thiosulfate is an excellent source of potash and sulfur. It contains 17% sulfur and 25% of potash. Potash is one of the most essential nutrients required by the plants.

Both ammonium and potassium thiosulfate are used as fertilizers in a variety of crops. Moreover, both are compatible with each other when mixed in any ratio. They can be applied as starter fertilizers for corn and other small seeded crops. They can be used on crops, ornamental shrubs and golf courses through soil, foliar, fertigation applications.

Market Drivers

Growing demand for water-soluble micronutrient fertilizers, compatibility of ammonium and potassium thiosulfate fertilizers with many crop protection chemicals, and the wide range of applications of these products are driving the market growth. However, the availability of various alternatives to these fertilizers and the growing trend of organic agriculture are inhibiting the market growth.
