The global ammonium sulfate market size is expected to reach USD 4.81 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.3% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The advancement in agriculture technology would drive the demand for fertilizers, which would indirectly result in the growing demand for ammonium sulfate.

Ammonium sulfate is an inorganic water salt comprising sulfur and nitrogen. The composition is used in the agricultural sector as fertilizer. It has the ability to provide stability and functionality to the fertilizer. Benefits associated with these fertilizers include water-solubility, easy blending abilities with nitrogenous fertilizers, and elevation of soil. These benefits ensure high plant growth, thereby leading to the high demand from farming communities.

Rice is a staple food crop in most Asian countries and is grown by almost two billion people according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). North America accounted for the third-largest market share after Asia Pacific and Europe in 2021. The Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare declared the product as safe for health with no health problems associated, therefore it is accepted and utilized across the globe.
