A majority of the global oilseed production occurs in semi-arid tropical areas where the average yield is low. The oilseeds are drought-tolerant with low transpiration. Hence, crops in these regions suffer from sulfur deficiency due to insufficient supply. Soybean, canola, and groundnut are the major crops considered under this segment that utilize sulfur fertilizers. Sulfur is used as a plant nutrient for the synthesis of oil and the production of proteins. The sulfur requirement in oilseeds is comparatively higher than the other crops. Hence, it is projected to dominate the market during the forecast period.

In 2025, the sulfates segment is projected to dominate the global market in terms of value. This is due to the high consumption of traditional and new sulfate fertilizers, such as ammonium sulfate, single superphosphate, ammonium phosphate sulfate, potassium sulfate, and sulfates of micronutrients, across regions. In addition, the main advantage offered by sulfate fertilizers is its sulfur supply in the form of sulfate, which is readily available to plants.

The increase in agricultural practices and requirements for high-quality agricultural produce are factors that are projected to drive the growth of the market in the Asia Pacific region. According to the World Bank, nearly 56.2% and 60.4% of the entire land area accounted for agricultural production in China and India, respectively, in 2015. Major crops produced in Asia include rice, sugar beet, fruits & vegetables, cereals, and grains; the region consumes nearly 90% of the global rice produced. There is a high demand for sulfur fertilizers in Asia Pacific due to its direct use to treat sulfur deficiencies. They are often sprayed in combination or as additives to NPK products.
