Potassium Chloride Market Analysis
The global potassium chloride market size reached 68.4 Million Tons in 2023. By 2032, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 98.5 Million Tons, at a projected CAGR of 4.10% during 2023-2032.
- There is a rise in the utilization of potassium chloride in the agriculture sector as a fertilizer to overcome plant deficiencies. It is the most widely applied K fertilizer because of its relatively low cost, and it includes more K than most other sources. Potassium also helps regulate the opening and closing of the stomata, which regulates the exchange of water vapor, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. In addition, potassium chloride benefits in increasing root growth, improving drought resistance, maintaining turgor, and reducing water loss and wilting. It also aids in photosynthesis and food formation and prevents energy loss. Besides this, the increasing need for food products globally is catalyzing the demand for potassium chloride. Farmers are focusing on incorporating this fertilizer to increase their crop production and to fulfill the food requirements of the population. The production of primary crop commodities reached 9.5 Billion Tons in 2021 worldwide, as claimed by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
- Potassium chloride is used to treat or prevent low amounts of potassium in the blood of individuals. It allows cells, kidneys, heart, muscles, and nerves to work properly. It serves as a medication that is available as an injectable, ready-made solution, or soluble powder. Additionally, there is an increase in the consumption of potassium chloride medications to reduce high blood pressure and lower the risk of developing heart disease and stroke. Furthermore, rising cases of heart diseases among the masses worldwide is impelling the market growth.
- The potassium chloride demand is further propelled by its utilization in various food and beverage (F&B) products as a flavor enhancer, nutrient supplement, potential of hydrogen (pH) control agent, and stabilizer or thickener. It acts as a substitute for sodium chloride in low-sodium or salt-free food products. Moreover, the growing demand for potassium chloride in various ready-to-eat (RTE) and convenient food items are positively influencing the market.
