Potassium Chloride Market Size Worth USD 18.17 Billion in 2032 | Emergen Research
Rising demand for KCL in the fertilizer and food industries and increasing need of KCL from multiple end-industries, including metal, glass, and petroleum sectors are key factors driving potassium chloride market revenue growth
Vancouver, Jan. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The global potassium chloride market size was USD 13.08 Billion in 2022 and is expected to register a rapid revenue CAGR of 3.3% during the forecast period. Rising demand for KCL in the fertilizer and food industries and increasing need of potassium chloride from multiple end-industries, including metal, glass, and petroleum sectors are key factors driving market revenue growth.
An emerging trend in the market is increasing consumption of potassium chloride in healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors. Potassium chloride is an ingredient in drugs and treatments that are used to prevent or treat hypokalemia, a condition characterized by low blood K levels brought on by illness, side effects from prescription drugs, or chronic conditions that induce vomiting or diarrhea. Numerous meals include KCL, which is essential for a number of bodily processes, including the regulation of heart rhythm. In addition, highly concentrated K is given to patients to make up for K deficits when these are fluid restricted and unable to handle the usual fluid volumes in injectable K solutions with lesser concentrations.

A toxic nature of potassium chloride is a key factor, which could restrain market revenue growth. Supplements containing potassium chloride can be used to treat hypokalemia, or low K. This kind of electrolyte aids in the control of heartbeat, muscular contraction, neuron activity, and other processes. Taking potassium chloride increases the chance of hyperkalemia, which is the overconsumption of K in the body. Small intestinal lesions, paresthesias, paralysis, paralysis, weakness of muscles, and cardiac arrhythmia are among the more severe symptoms it produces.
The market, however, faces challenges due to the toxic nature of KCL, restricting growth in certain medical conditions. Overconsumption, particularly through supplements, may lead to hyperkalemia, causing severe symptoms such as intestinal lesions, paralysis, and cardiac arrhythmia. Careful consideration and medical supervision are advised for patients with specific health conditions.
Market Segment Insights
Potassium Chloride Crop Insights:
On the basis of crop, the global potassium chloride market is segmented into cereals, oilseeds, fiber and sugar, and fruits and vegetables. The oilseeds segment accounted for largest market share in the global potassium chloride market in 2022 due to rising awareness about K in oilseeds yield. Cultivars, including canola, flax, soybean, sunflower, and sesame, that provide oil from their seeds are known as oilseed crops. The need for K in oilseed crops is significant, particularly during the flowering and seed-filling phases. One of the most abundant elements in oilseed rape is K, and when the soil lacks sufficient available K, a proper K application rate is essential to achieve optimal yield. Oilseed rape has a high K requirement, with absorption varying between 150 and 300 kg K2O ha−1 annually.
Product Type Insights:
On the basis of product type, the global potassium chloride market is segmented into powder, granular, and crystal. The granular segment is expected to account for significantly large market share in the global potassium chloride market during the forecast period due to versatility and effectiveness of potassium chloride in agricultural applications. KCL in its coarse, granular form is known as granular Potassium Chloride (KCl). The dry agglomeration process of compaction, which takes place between two counter-rotating rolls, is the first step in potassium chloride granulation process.

Regional Insights:
Asia Pacific accounted for largest market share in the global potassium chloride market in 2022 due to increasing use of potassium chloride in fertilizers. China is a significant player in the Asia Pacific region, and the demand for potassium chloride is greatly influenced by its expanding industrial and agricultural sectors. Japan is the second largest importer of fertilizer containing KCL. In 2021, East Asia’s fertilizer consumption reached 61.9 million metric tons and South Asia followed closely with a consumption of 38.7 million metric tons, highlighting the significant demand within the region.
Europe is expected to register fastest market growth rate in the global potassium chloride market during the forecast period due to rising demand for potassium chloride in Germany, France, and the UK. For instance, the largest single K+S site, Zielitz Potash Plant in Saxony Anhalt, extracts K-containing crude salts for use in fertilizer manufacturing, industrial products, and feed and food sector products. It is one of the biggest and most advanced potash facilities in the world, producing over 12 million tons of crude salt annually.
