Europe Potash Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Product (Potassium Chloride, Potassium Nitrate, Potassium Sulphate, and Others), By End-use (Agriculture and Non-Agriculture), By Country and Growth Forecast, 2023 - 2030


The Europe Potash Market would witness market growth of 5.7% CAGR during the forecast period (2023-2030). In the year 2020, the Europe market's volume surged to 12,813.6 kilo tonnes, showcasing a growth of 4.6% (2019-2022).

The fertilizer business is the leading consumer of potash products, including the main fertilizers used currently, potassium carbonate and potassium sulphate. Potash, a primary source of potassium, is one of the three main nutrients plants need. The other two are nitrogen and phosphorus. Animal feed also uses potash; it is added to grass to boost nutrition and increase milk output. The cosmetics & personal care products industry is another significant potash consumer and market driver. Additionally, the construction industry is the leading consumer of potash, which is used for clearing snow off roadways in steep locations. Crackers and fireworks both use potash extensively.

When crops are harvested for food, potassium is removed from the soil; thus, it must be supplied to sustain crop growth in the future. It also helps improve taste, crop productivity, and plant disease resistance. Different crop types, including cereals & grains, oilseeds & pulses, and fruits & vegetables, are fertilized with it. Fertilizers made of potash come in both liquid and solid forms.

The need for caustic potash has increased in several categories, such as automotive, food grade, medicinal, agricultural, technical, etc. Numerous businesses use potassium oxide, including soaps & detergents, fertilizer, chemicals containing potassium, alkaline battery manufacturing, chemicals using potassium phosphate, etc. In addition, KOH is important for de-icing runways, refining petroleum, and balancing pH levels. KOH is used as an alkaline builder in detergent formulations, a methylating agent, a dehydrating agent for drying gases, as a grease in the extrusion pressing of high melting alloys, etc.

With a CAGR of 1.8% from 2016 to 2021, retail sales of baked products in the European Union (EU) slightly increased, reaching US$98.6 billion in 2021. Sales are anticipated to increase by 2.9% CAGR between 2021 and 2026, driven mainly through growth in Italy, the Netherlands, and Poland.

Potash is frequently used as a stand-in for baking soda in flat pastries and dense doughs, including nuts, honey, and fruits. The market is anticipated to prosper due to this and the increased consumption of baked goods in Europe.
