Calcium Nitrate Market

Calcium Nitrate Market Growth Outlook (2022-2032)

The global market for calcium nitrate stands at a value of US$ 12.8 billion in 2022 and is projected to surpass a US$ 20.7 billion sales valuation by the end of 2032.

Worldwide demand for calcium nitrate is predicted to increase at a 4.9% CAGR from 2022 to 2032, says Fact.MR.

Growing demand for chemical fertilizers is anticipated to significantly influence the demand for calcium nitrate over the coming years. The growing population has led to high agricultural consumption and the advent of yield-destroying plant diseases has also resulted in high demand for calcium nitrate fertilizers.

Increasing focus on sustainable and clean eating has pushed farmers toward the use of sustainable and organic fertilizers which is expected to benefit the market potential in the future.

Agricultural-grade calcium nitrate still holds a prominent market share at present but, is expected to lose some of its share to industrial-grade calcium nitrate as its scope of application in various industries increases.

Rising demand for water treatment processes, flourishing concrete manufacturing industry, rising demand for agricultural produce, rapid industrialization across the world, and increasing focus on sustainability are some of the prime factors that are expected to uplift sales of calcium nitrate products over the coming years.

However, the availability of several alternatives such as potassium nitrate and ammonium nitrate is anticipated to have a constraining effect on the overall market development in the long run. Emerging economies are expected to provide highly rewarding opportunities for calcium nitrate manufacturers owing to increasing investments in infrastructure development.

The market for calcium nitrate [Ca(NO3)2] in the Asia Pacific region accounts for a dominant market share at present and is projected to maintain a similar stance throughout the forecast period. The growth in this region can be majorly ascribed to a robust agricultural sector in economies such as India, China, and Indonesia.

Demand for calcium nitrate in China is predicted to rise at a CAGR of 5.8% over the next ten years and is slated to accumulate a sales revenue of US$ 3.4 billion by the end of the forecast period.

How is the Agricultural Industry Setting the Scene for the Global Calcium Nitrate Market?

“High Use of Fertilizers in Agriculture Spearheading Revenue Generation”

Based on application, the market for calcium nitrate is segmented into fertilizers, wastewater treatment, concrete, explosives, refrigerants, and other applications.

The agricultural industry has witnessed a major uproar over the past few years owing to the growing world population and rising consumption of agricultural produce.

The aforementioned factors have fostered the demand for agrochemicals and fertilizers, which are used to ensure a proper yield and save agricultural produce from getting destroyed by pests and other damaging elements.

The flourishing agriculture industry and growing demand for food across the world are expected to boost sales of fertilizers over the coming years and hence, subsequently drive demand for calcium nitrate as well.

Shipments of fertilizers are slated to increase at a 5.4% CAGR from 2022 to 2032. Demand for liquid fertilizers is anticipated to be high owing to their ease of application and better efficacy as compared to other forms of fertilizers. Meanwhile, the use of calcium nitrate in explosives is anticipated to progress at a 4.4% CAGR across the forecast period.

The scarcity of natural potable water and diminishing water resources owing to climatic changes are fueling the demand for wastewater treatment and this is anticipated to drive demand for calcium nitrate as well since it offers odor inhibition by increasing the oxidation rate of biologically dissolved sulfide.

Demand for calcium nitrate in wastewater treatment applications is expected to increase at a 4.9% CAGR through 2032.
