Sulfur Based Micronutrients Market by Product, Function, Form, Application, End-Use Industry

Description

List of Tables

The Sulfur Based Micronutrients Market was valued at USD 427.52 million in 2023, expected to reach USD 462.02 million in 2024, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.38%, to USD 751.41 million by 2030.

Sulfur based micronutrients are essential for plant growth and development, primarily functioning as a key component in amino acids, vitamins, and enzymes that aid in photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation, and resistance to diseases. The necessity for sulfur-based micronutrients arises from the increasing sulfur deficiency observed in soils globally due to reduced atmospheric sulfur deposition, intensive agricultural practices, and reliance on high-analysis fertilizers lacking sulfur. These micronutrients find application across various agricultural sectors, including cereals, pulses, fruits, and vegetables, where they enhance yield quality and resistance to abiotic stress. The end-use scope predominantly includes conventional and organic farming practices where augmenting soil fertility is critical.
