Global Sulfur Bentonite Market by Application (Fruits & Vegetables, Cereals & Crops, Oilseeds) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028

Summary of the Report

Global sulfur bentonite markets were valued at USD 89.04 millions in 2018. They are expected to grow at an estimated 5.6% CAGR from 2019-2025. The demand will rise due to rising oileed production and increasing soil sulfur deficiency.

The growing demand for sulfur-rich fertilizers for crop cultivation is driving the market. This product is a concentrated fertilizer that falls under the category of elemental sulfur fertilizers, which contain 90 to more than 90% micronutrients. These fertilizers can be used to cultivate oilseeds, cereals and fruits, as well as vegetables. They have also increased yields by nearly 20% to 30% for major oilseeds. Sulfur bentonite's oxidative ability controls the release and absorption of nutrients from soil, thereby reducing nutrient loss without exposing the soil to environmental hazards. The growth can also be influenced by other factors, such as availability of raw materials, trade opportunities and product commercialization.

China is the largest importer of sulfur worldwide. It accounts for about one-third of global trade and 25% of global consumption. China imports approximately 10 to 12 million tonnes of sulfur each year. This is in addition to its domestic production.

The U.S. Geological Survey states that the country is the largest producer of sulfur worldwide, with a total production of 17.4 millions tons in 2017. However, there is a shortage of high-sulfur fertilizers which has led to high levels of sulfur in the soil.

To maintain soil's nutritional balance and increase nutrient availability, sulfur bentonite can be used. For the best crop growth, many factors must be considered, including soil type and crop type.

Many factors can cause a reduction in soil's sulfur content, including soil runoff, poor drainage, pollution, and bacterial change. The product is used more often for sulfur enrichment than other products to balance soil content and maximize crop yield.

Application Insights

The sulfur bentonite market can be divided into three segments based on their application: oilseeds, fruits, vegetables, crops, and lawns and turfs. For the cultivation of oilseeds, fertilizers are essential. The plant's sulfur uptake is directly linked to the oil content. A recent study by research institutions found that it takes approximately 12 to 18 kilograms of sulfur to make a ton oil seeds.

Compound requirements in cereals are very similar to phosphorus intake. Crops' protein cells are made up of sulfur-containing amino acid such as methionine, cystine and cystine. The product's use has a significant impact on crop yield, flavor and odor, as well as increasing resistance to cold weather. As it is easy to leach from the soil, sulfur deficiency can be seen in the beginning stages of growth. Young leaves turn pale yellow due to the change in the protein composition. Stems become smaller and eventually, this will affect the quality and size the seed.

A lack of nutrients in vegetables and fruits can lead to spindly stems and yellowish veins. Sulfate fertilizers, which are useful in controlling certain diseases and weather resistance, are essential for vegetables like cabbage, turnips, and broccoli during the winter. Sulfur plays an important part in lowering soil pH, increasing plant root access and nutrients, as well as the formation of plant tissues.

Regional Insights

In 2018, Asia Pacific accounted for 31.9% of the world's largest volume share. Due to rising awareness about sulfur-based fertilizers, the region will dominate the industry for the next few years. China and India dominate regional consumption. These countries are characterized in large part by global manufacturers such as Deepak Fertilizers & Petrochemicals Corporation Limited and Coromandel International Limited. Omasulf and Tiger-sul are some of the brands that import significant amounts of the product from North America, Middle East, and Africa.

Latin America is the second largest market in sulfur bentonite. This is mainly due to the increasing demand for various food crops as well as oil seeds. Due to the lack of suitable cultivation land and growing micronutrients deficiencies in soil, this region is unable to feed its large population. Farmers use a variety of fertilizers to increase soil fertility. Brazil is the country with the highest consumption of sulfur bentonite in Latin America. It is followed by Argentina, Mexico, and Colombia. Brazil and Argentina are also significant contributors to the global oilseeds production. This is a major demand.

Due to large sulfur reserves in the region, North America was responsible for 23.1% of the 2018 revenue. In 2017, the United States produced 9.64 million metric tonnes of sulfur and 3.70 million tons of bentonite, ranking second on the global producer list after China.

The region's oileed production is increasing, with rapeseed and soybean being the most popular. Middle East and Africa (MEA), is one of the most important sulfur-producing regions in the world. The regional market is driven by an increase in the production of dates, watermelons and wheat as well as potatoes and tomatoes. MEA exports the product to Europe and Asia Pacific countries.

Market Share Insights & Key Companies

H Sulphur Corp. and Tiger Sul are key players in the global market. Global market competition is fierce with only a few large companies controlling the majority of the market.

Major players like Tiger Sul, Devco Australia and Coromandel International are constantly investing in R&D to improve product quality. They also have strong brands and products that are well-known, which makes it more difficult for new competitors to enter the market.
