Rising Food Demand, Soil Nutrient Depletion, and Precision Agriculture Drive Global Potash Fertilizers Market to US$38 Billion by 2032

Tuesday Nov 25, 2025

Industry Experts, Inc. has released its latest market research report, "Global Potash Fertilizers Market - Product Types, Applications, Forms and Crop Types," estimating that worldwide revenues will rise from US$28.5 billion in 2025 to US$38 billion by 2032, registering a CAGR of 4.2% during 2025-2032. Market growth is driven by rising global food demand, shrinking arable land, and the need for balanced nutrient management to sustain high yields. Potash fertilizers, critical for enhancing water regulation, photosynthesis, stress tolerance, and crop quality, are increasingly adopted across large-scale farming, horticulture, and controlled-environment agriculture.

The shift toward sustainable agriculture, precision soil testing, fertigation, and controlled-release formulations is improving potassium uptake efficiency while reducing nutrient losses. Rising demand for high-value fruits, vegetables, oilseeds, and nuts is accelerating the use of chloride-free potash grades, such as sulfate of potash (SOP), in chloride-sensitive crops. Climate variability, erratic rainfall, and increasing soil potassium depletion are pushing farmers toward nutrient-balanced fertilization programs supported by government subsidies and agronomic training. Expanding potash mining capacity, digital soil monitoring technologies, and strong investments in agricultural modernization across Asia-Pacific and Latin America continue to reinforce market expansion.

The Asia-Pacific region dominates the global potash fertilizers market with a 38.6% share in 2025, driven by large agricultural acreage, population growth, and high fertilizer consumption in China, India, and Southeast Asia. Government support for balanced fertilization and precision agriculture continues to strengthen regional demand. South America is the fastest-growing market, posting a 4.8% CAGR through 2032, led by extensive soybean, corn, and sugarcane cultivation in Brazil and Argentina, where potassium-deficient soils and export-driven farming accelerate the need for potash fertilizers.

By product type, Potassium Chloride (Muriate of Potash) dominates with a 58.3% share in 2025, favored for its affordability, high potassium concentration, and suitability across staple crops. Sulfate of Potash (SOP) will record the fastest 4.7% CAGR, driven by demand from high-value horticulture and chloride-sensitive crops. By application, Broadcasting leads with a 54.4% share, supporting large-scale cereal and grain production, while Fertigation grows fastest at 4.9% CAGR, supported by water-efficient irrigation systems and greenhouse agriculture.

By form, Solid fertilizers command a 75.4% share in 2025, reflecting their cost-effectiveness, stability, and compatibility with mechanized application. Liquid potash fertilizers will expand fastest at 4.8% CAGR, driven by precision fertigation, foliar sprays, and hydroponics. By crop type, Cereals and Grains dominate with a 45.7% share, supported by global demand for wheat, rice, maize, and barley, while Fruits and Vegetables grow fastest at 5% CAGR, driven by rising health-conscious consumption and horticultural exports.

The report segments the global Potash Fertilizers market by product type (KCl, SOP, potassium nitrate, others), application (broadcasting, foliar, fertigation), form (solid, liquid), and crop type (cereals & grains, oilseeds & pulses, fruits & vegetables, others) across five major geographic regions. It profiles 13 companies, including Nutrien, Mosaic, Uralkali, K+S, Belaruskali, SQM, Yara, ICL Group, EuroChem, Helm AG, and Arab Potash Company.
