On the basis of raw materials, the potassium chloride segment was estimated to account for the largest market share in 2020. The segment is likely to retain its dominance over the forecast period. Based on end-uses, the agriculture industry represented the dominant segment in 2020. Potassium nitrate is widely used as a fertiliser along with other applications like its use in the production of gun powder, fireworks, medicines, etc. Nitrogen is a nutrient essential for all living organisms. When used as a fertiliser, potassium nitrate becomes a source of nitrogen and potassium. An increased population demands more crop production, which can be ensured with the use of a good fertiliser. It was estimated the world’s fertiliser consumption increased by approximately 1.8% a year through 2018. Thus, the growing fertiliser industry is acting as a catalyst for the global potassium nitrate market growth.
Regionally, the Asia Pacific represents the leading potassium nitrate market, accounting for the majority of the global share. Asia, the largest consumer of fertilisers in the world, relies on imports of all three primary nutrients. For instance, in India, the raw materials and intermediates are largely imported to produce nitrogenous and phosphatic fertilisers to meet domestic requirements. Due to the non-availability of any potash (K) reserve in the country, its entire requirement is fulfilled through imports. Globally, the largest exporter of fertilisers is Russia, accounting for about a fifth of the total fertiliser trade, along with other significant contributors like Canada, China, Belarus, and the United States. On the other hand, the world’s largest importer of fertilisers is the United States, followed by countries like Brazil, India, and China. These regions are majorly contributing to the growth of the potassium nitrate market.
Potassium nitrate (KNO3) is a crystalline salt that exhibits a colour of white to grey. It is also known as saltpetre or nitre. The salt is naturally found in the pure form and can also be prepared commercially by mixing sodium nitrate and potassium chloride. Potassium nitrate is a strong oxidizing agent that assists in accelerating the burning of combustible substances. Due to this, it is widely used as a constituent in fireworks, rocket propellants, gunpowder, and medicines. Apart from this, potassium nitrate finds immense applications

Potassium nitrate is extensively used in the food industry to preserve food items such as beef, ham, salami, and among others, and in the agriculture sector to produce the fertilizers. Moreover, governments of developing countries are offering subsidies for the sales of fertilisers, resulting in the increased consumption of potassium nitrate. In addition to this, it is resistant to fungal diseases, improves drought tolerance, and maintains a balance between proteins and carbohydrates, and increase food formation in plants and root growth. Growing demand for speciality fertilisers has witnessed a surge in the agriculture segment, which in turn is stimulating the market growth. Furthermore, increasing concerns regarding the depletion of exhaustible resources have also led many organizations to resort to sustainable resources like CSPs, hence, is propelling the potassium nitrate market growth.
Drilling and blasting are essential practices in the mining process and are commonly used to break up benches of rock containing ore. For instance, in the coal mining industry, high-quality explosives such as potassium nitrate are used to extract coal from ground mines. With the surging need for blasting and drilling chemicals in the coal mining industry, the demand for potassium nitrate is expected to increase over the years to come.
