Global Ammonium Thiosulfate Market Growth 2025-2031

Global Ammonium Thiosulfate Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Ammonium Thiosulfate market size is predicted to grow from US$ 470 million in 2025 to US$ 629 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.0% from 2025 to 2031.

Ammonium Thiosulfate (ATS) is a widely used chemical compound, primarily employed in agricultural settings as a liquid fertilizer. It typically appears as a clear, colorless liquid that contains 12% nitrogen (N) and 26% sulfur (S), essential nutrients for plant growth. ATS is known for its excellent compatibility with other fertilizers, including nitrogen solutions and NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) liquid blends. This compatibility, combined with its neutral to slightly acidic reaction, makes it a preferred choice for various liquid fertilizer applications, particularly in clear liquid and suspension formulations. In addition to its liquid form, ammonium thiosulfate also exists in a solid crystalline form, which has a noticeable ammonia odor. Both forms are used to deliver essential sulfur and nitrogen to plants, helping to correct sulfur deficiencies in soils and improving crop yield and quality.

Market Concentration and Key Players

The global ammonium thiosulfate market is concentrated among several major manufacturers, with key players including Tessenderlo Group, Bunge, Martin Midstream Partners, and Interoceanic Corporation. These companies dominate the market by producing large quantities of ATS, meeting the demands of the agricultural sector, which relies heavily on sulfur-based fertilizers. North America is the largest market for ammonium thiosulfate, accounting for approximately 70% of global consumption. This dominance is driven by the extensive agricultural land in countries like the United States and Canada, where ATS is frequently used for crops such as corn, wheat, and soybeans. Europe also holds a significant market share, followed by South America, the Middle East, and Africa. These regions collectively account for over 20% of the global market, driven by growing agricultural activities and the need for efficient crop nutrition in sulfur-deficient soils.

Market Trends and Future Outlook

Ammonium thiosulfate is predominantly used in its liquid form, which constitutes around 80% of the overall market. The liquid form is favored for its ease of application and compatibility with modern farming practices, including precision agriculture techniques. The largest application of ATS is in grain fertilizer, reflecting the critical role it plays in supporting staple food crops like rice, corn, and wheat. As global food demand continues to rise, driven by population growth and changing dietary patterns, the use of ATS in agriculture is expected to increase. In addition to grain crops, ATS is also used for cash crops and various other agricultural applications, as well as some industrial uses.

Recent trends in the agricultural industry, including the increasing focus on sustainable farming and soil health, have further boosted the demand for ammonium thiosulfate. Sulfur deficiencies in soils, particularly in regions that practice intensive farming, are becoming more widespread. ATS provides an efficient solution to these deficiencies, helping to enhance crop yields and nutrient uptake. Furthermore, as precision agriculture and environmentally conscious farming practices become more prevalent, farmers are seeking more efficient and sustainable ways to deliver nutrients to crops. This trend is expected to drive further growth in the ATS market in the coming years, with increasing adoption in both developed and emerging agricultural regions.
