Sulfur Based Micronutrients Market by Application (Oilseeds & Pulses, Cereals & Grains, and Fruits & Vegetables), Type (Sulfur-Bentonite-Zinc, Sulfur-Bentonite-Molybdenum, Sulfur-Bentonite-Manganese, Sulfur-Bentonite-Iron) - Global Forecast to 2029
The global sulfur based micronutrients market is projected to grow from USD 449 million in 2024 to USD 685 million by 2029, at a CAGR of 8.8% during the forecast period. Modern agricultural practices leave the soil drained and degraded. Therefore growing emphasis on soil nutrient replenishment and sustainable agricultural practices is one of the key drivers that is boosting the sulfur based micronutrients market.
“Sulfur-Bentonite-Molybdenum based micronutrients segment, by type, is estimated to account for the second largest share during the forecast period.”
The sulfur-bentonite-molybdenum based micronutrients segment is projected to secure the second-largest share in the forecast period, primarily fueled by its extensive application in the agricultural industry. This specific fertilizer blend benefits from molybdenum's function in nitrogen fixation and enzyme activation while guaranteeing plants receive sulfur, which is necessary for metabolic processes. This fertilizer improves nitrogen usage efficiency, supports healthy plant growth, and eventually increases crop yields in a variety of agricultural systems by addressing deficiencies in both molybdenum and sulfur.
“Cereals & Grains segment, by application, is estimated to account for the second largest share during the forecast period.”
Sulfur based micronutrients are one of the major kinds of fertilizers being used in the agricultural industry. Sulfur levels in soils are dropping as a result of intensive farming methods and decreased atmospheric deposition, which is driving the increased usage of sulfur-based micronutrients in cereal and grain crops. Elevated sulfur requirements are essential for protein synthesis and optimal production in cereals and grains. Farmers also utilize sulfur-based fertilizers more frequently as a result of their pursuit of improved quality and yields.
“North America region is estimated to account for the second largest share during the forecast period.”
North America is expected to be the second-largest market for sulfur based micronutrients. US and Canada are among the key players in the region, which are driven by sulfur based micronutrients sector. As a major contributor to the sulfur based micronutrients industry, US emerges as a favorable market for various sulfur based micronutrients types, particularly those with different compositions, combinations, and grades. Additionally, the ongoing transition to environment friendly products in the country and around the world is expected to drive the market further, contributing to the overall growth of the North American sulfur based micronutrients market.
