Market Overview

Global Potash Market is poised to report 4.13% year-on-year growth in 2019.Increasing agricultural activities across
emerging countries like China, India and others are driving the demand for potash in the production of urea and other
fertilizers. Potash caters its application in agricultural sector for enhancing the food production and quality of food
crops. Majorly, 90% of the potash production are utilised into fertilizer applications, with agriculture sector driving the
market growth.

Emerging application of potash in pharmaceutical industry for the production of various types of medicines is
encouraging the potash companies operating in the industry to boost their investments.

Fluctuations in raw material prices and uneven rainfalls are restraining the growth of potash market.Also, the global
potash market may be hindered through rising inflation and population changes.

MOP (Muriate of Potash) dominates the global potash market:

MOP (Muriate of Potash) holds the major share in the global potash market due to its yield increasing capacity and
competitive pricing. Potash is mainly extracted from underground evaporates, rock formations and water bodies like
Dead Sea. It is used in the soil wherever the potassium levels are inadequate, increases the plant’s health and
productivity. Further, the global potash market is segmented into sulphate of potash (SOP), sulphate of potash
magnesia (SOPM) and potassium nitrate.

Rising agricultural production is driving the fertilizer application segment inglobalpotash market:

Fertilizer industry accounts about 90% of the total potash consumption in the global potash market due to increasing
agricultural production, which mainly depends on the composites of potash as fertilizers. Rise in the agricultural
production and increasing fertilizer usage are the key factors that are fueling the potash market in the recent years.
Due to its widespread applications in agricultural sector, the demand for potash is highly correlated with production
levels. Growing population creates the necessity for the more quantity of food, which boosts the demand for potash.

Factors such as less availability of arable land and food security issues leads to more agricultural production, which
results in high demand for potash. However, seasonal factors such as floods, rainfall, drought and other climate
changes impact the production of agriculture sector and concurrently the market growth of potash market.

In addition to it, pharmaceutical industry is a key consumer in the global potash market owing to high usage of potash
for the production of various medicines products. Further, the global potash market is segmented into general
industrial and other applications.

Asia Pacific leads the global potash market in 2017 and is projected to remain dominated over the forecast
period

Globally, Asia Pacific region leads the potash market in 2017in which China and India are dominating the market.
Continuous agricultural production as agriculture being key livelihood coupled with growing population leading to
more food production is driving the market growth in the region.

Followed by Asia Pacific region, South & Central America is expected to be the fast growing region in global potash
market during the forecast period 2019-2025.

Further, regional analysis is segmented for countries across North America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa.
