Calcium Nitrate Market, By Grade Type (Agriculture, Greenhouse, Liquid and Fertigation), By Application (Fertilizers, Concrete Manufacturing, Explosives and Wastewater Treatment Chemicals) and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Rest of the World) Analysis, Share, Trends, Size, & Forecast from 2014 2025
REPORT HIGHLIGHT
The Calcium Nitrate market was valued at USD 6,690 million by 2017, growing with 5.2% CAGR during the forecast period, 2019-2025.
Global calcium nitrate demand is expected to witness a steady growth mainly on account of its wide applications especially in the manufacturing of fertilizers. Increasing calcium nitrate usage in waste water management has shown a significant growth on account of increasing environmental concerns associated with water pollution.
In ancient period, this salt was named as Norwegian saltpeter. Most of the production is done with the help of limestone and nitric acid. This salt is soluble in water, alcohol and acetone. Calcium nitrate was the first synthetic nitrogen compound manufactured for fertilizers. Earliest known commercial production took place in Notodden, Norway in 1905 with the help of Birkeland-Eyde process. Norway is still popular in the manufacturing of this salt and significant production of the world’s calcium nitrate is done at Porsgrunn. There are various processes through which this salt can be produced, however, the one obtained through the treatment of limestone with nitric acid is the most popular method. Similarly, this salt is also prepared using ammonium nitrate in aqueous solution form along with calcium hydroxide.
Market Dynamics
Calcium nitrate applications in the manufacturing of fertilizers are the major factor expected to drive industry growth over the forecast period. These fertilizers produced enrich the soil with necessary calcium and nitrogen content. It also helps in raising the pH level of the soil which is necessary for a good crop harvest. Calcium nitrate fertilizers are known to increase the per hectare crop yield. These fertilizers have been useful in making the field fertile after a long crop season.
Modern methods of farming, development of rural markets in agrarian countries including India, China, Brazil and Indonesia have significantly contributed to the growth of Ca(NO3)2 fertilizers. Waste water treatment is another major application of these salts driving the overall market. Water pollution has been a matter of concern in the present world. Shortage of water resources has led to the increasing usage of waste water with the help of sophisticated treatment techniques.
Calcium nitrate helps in preventing odor emission by avoiding the release of hydrogen sulfide through metabolism. Further, the easy degradable biological matter is consumed which would otherwise cause anaerobic conditions. Calcium nitrate based waste water treatment is an economical way of treating sewage water and therefore widely used by government bodies. The construction industry is expected to provide bright prospects for the global market growth over the forecast period.
This salt is a key component in cement which helps in the mixing of cement with mortar. This ingredient has the ability to hold all the different materials in the mixture together so that they bond together. This makes a cement mixture strong and durable with little effort of mixing. Increasing concentration on infrastructure development is anticipated to provide good opportunities in propelling the market demand. Other minor applications of this salt include manufacturing of commercial explosives, regenerable of cold packs and glass production. They are also used in the manufacturing of rubber gloves, incandescent gas mantles, fireworks and radio tubes.
Storage and transportation of this product is a major challenge for the industry growth. Crystalline calcium nitrate tends to melt in bags and therefore releases water. Transporting these products during the monsoons acts a barrier on account of its hygroscopic characteristics.
Segment Takeaway
Granular products deliver a better shelf life in comparison to crystalline salts. Global market segmentation is done on the basis of the application which includes fertilizers, cement, and waste water treatment. Fertilizer market dominated the application segment with approximately half of the consumption of Ca(NO3)2 in the global industry. Application demand was followed by waste water treatment and cement manufacturing. Increasing environmental concerns regarding water pollution coupled with water scarcity is expected to fuel the usage of this product in waste water treatment areas.
Regional Takeaway
Asia Pacific dominated the global demand and the trend is expected to continue on account of expanding fertilizer and cement industry. The presence of agrarian economies in Asia has resulted in the growth of fertilizer market which in turn is expected to augment the consumption of Ca(NO3)2. Increasing construction activities in China, India, and South Korea is expected to further contribute towards regional product demand.
Asia Pacific demand was followed by North America and Europe respectively. These regions are anticipated to witness a steady growth owing to the increasing waste water management initiatives on account of a stringent environmental regulatory framework. Europe dominated the production mainly on account of Norway as the high deposit of limestone is present in the country. South America and Africa is expected to show a slow growth on account of lack of developed application industries.
Key Vendors Takeaway
Key industry players include Airedale Chemical, Sterling Chemicals, Agrium, Inc, Haifa Chemicals Ltd., GFS Chemicals, Uralchem Holding PLC, Rural Liquid Fertilisers (RLF), Vardhaman Fertilizers and Seeds Pvt. Ltd., Prathista Industries Limited, Shanxi Jiaocheng Tianlong Chemical Industry, and Yara International ASA. Vendors tend to focus on establishing infrastructure for storage and transport to minimize shipment wastage.
