Manufacturers have introduced numerous technologies that augment crop yield and proliferate the revenue of farmers, which, in turn, creates more demand for potassium fertilizers. Mainly, organic potash fertilizers improve the quality of soil and provide proper maturation in crops by improving root strength, texture, and creating a better yield.
Natural potassium fertilizers also enhance the plant defence system making them disease-resistant. Liquid potash fertilizers provide excellent cell wall thickness and strengthen the stem, which allows plants to withstand harsh environmental conditions.
Over the 2017-2021 historical period, the global potash fertilizers market registered a CAGR of 3.9%, and according to Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider, the market is projected to exhibit growth at 5.4% CAGR between 2022 and 2032.
Market share analysis of potash fertilizers based on form and region is provided in a nutshell in the above image. Under the form segment, the liquid sub-segment dominates with 53% market share in 2022.
“Rising Population and Requirement of Extensive Nutrient Content”
Considering the situation across the world, such as increasing pollution and population, which is forecasted to increase over the coming years, concerns regarding more mouths to feed will only become stronger. Due to economic volatility, some countries are already facing a food crisis, affecting 9.9% of people across different demographics, according to the UN.
Thus, to feed the existing population, repeated cultivation is done, which is rapidly deteriorating the quality of the soil. Therefore, it becomes important to replenish the soil to produce grains, fruits, and vegetables that are rich in extensive nutrient content.
Enhancing soil with fertilizers will help combat the issues of food shortage and the quality of produce will be enhanced. Use of fertilizers to fertigate vegetative and barren lands is expected to improve agricultural quality and quantity.
One of the prominent fertilizers need to replenish the potassium content of the soil is potassium chloride, which is available in a granulated form, is cost-effective, and provides better nutritional value as compared to the liquid form. Also, these fertilizers help plants be disease-resistant and increase the starch quantity in them.

China, a vast agricultural country endowed with abundant agricultural resources, has an extensive agricultural history and a practice of intensive cultivation, as well as a large rural population.
The Chinese government always gave priority to the development of agriculture production. China’s agricultural sector produces 1/4 of the world’s grain and feeds one-fifth of the population while possessing just 10% of arable land. Chinese manufacturers are focusing more on the robust development of specialized farms that produce high-quality products, and this has been escalating organic potassium fertilizer demand in the East Asia region.
Chinese manufacturers are focusing more on organic potassium fertilizer pricing as major players offer additional profit margins to distributors to gain a significant market share in the region.
Acquisitions and mergers are important in the East Asian fertilizers market; prominent manufacturers acquire small entities that have established markets in local areas to expand their service offerings in different countries.
The East Asia market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 6.3% to reach US$ 14.6 billion by 2032.
The agricultural sector of India is the primary source of income for 58% of the Indian population. Foreign institutional investors acquire stakes in Indian companies as they are seeing high upside potential in the Indian market, mainly due to several government initiatives to support the farming industry.
Governments are launching several schemes and are providing immense prospects for learning new technologies, tools, systems, and approaches.
Potash fertilizer companies are focusing more on minimizing operating costs, which affect the overall profitability of firms, and are also shifting towards sustainable methods to drive the overall efficiency of the production.

Liquid or soluble potash fertilizer demand is anticipated to grow at 5.7% CAGR during the assessment period.
Liquid potassium fertilizers for plants correct potassium deficiencies at a much faster pace as compared to solid potash fertilizers. Manufacturers produce more liquid potash fertilizers due to their rapid nutrient-providing capabilities, high solubility, uniformity of application, and blending with crop protection products.
Cereals & grains are the most lucrative crops/applications these days. Prime manufacturers prominently target the South Asia & East Asia regions due to the high demand for wheat and rice in these regions
Cereals & grains currently account for 40.3% market share and are estimated to generate US$ 11.6 billion in value by the end of 2022 in the global market. In addition, the cereals & grains sub-segment of potash fertilizers is expected to create an absolute dollar opportunity of US$ 9.2 billion by the end of the assessment period.
Furthermore, demand for fruits and vegetables is also gaining traction due to consumers being more concerned about their health, which, in turn, is escalating demand for potassium fertilizers from this segment as well.
