Calcium Nitrate Market Key Companies and SWOT Analysis by 2028

[Research Report] Calcium nitrate market was valued at US$ 882.03 million in 2021 and is projected to reach US$ 1,130.94 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.6% from 2021 to 2028.

MARKET ANALYSIS

Calcium nitrate is an organic compound composed by treating limestone with nitric acid by neutralizing with ammonia. Calcium nitrate is mainly used as a component in fertilizers. Calcium nitrate fertilizers contain calcium and nitrogen, which are essential nourishment elements for plants. It enhances the uptake of magnesium, potassium, and calcium from the soil, increases yield and quality, extends the storage life of fruits, and builds up resistance to diseases and pests. Calcium nitrate is also used for medicinal purposes in manufacturing concrete, explosives, and wastewater treatment. In addition, it is actively used to suppress the formation of odor in sewer networks and municipal wastewater treatment. 

GROWTH DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES

Constant growing demand for calcium nitrate from fertilizer manufacturers is boosting the global calcium nitrate market growth significantly. Agriculture is an important component of the global economy. Agriculture is the primary source of employment, income, and food, and it meets these basic needs throughout the world. The agricultural population accounts for 67 per cent of the overall population, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). China possesses 7% of the world's arable land, which allows it to feed 22% of the world's people. As the agricultural population develops, so does the demand for calcium nitrate. Moreover, increasing use of calcium nitrate in wide range of applications is further boosting the global calcium nitrate market growth. Calcium nitrate is produced in granulated form and is mostly used as a nitrogen fertilizer in agriculture. Calcium has many important benefits for plants. It improves cell wall strength, which leads to higher-quality fruits with a longer shelf-life. Calcium also increases heat tolerance and helps to reduce the amount of heat stress experienced by plants in warmer climates. It's also used in odor-prevention wastewater pre-conditioning and set-accelerating concrete admixtures. In wastewater treatment processes, the compound induces anoxic biology in wastewater treatment to inhibit the metabolic generation of odor-creating components such as hydrogen sulfide, thus eliminating foul odors. It also induces autotrophic denitrification that aids in the biological dissolution of sulfide in septic wastewater. However, availability of substitutes might limit its market growth Organic and non-organic fertilizers are two categories of fertilizers. Calcium nitrate is an inorganic chemical having the formula Ca(NO3)2 that is mostly used in fertilizers. Calcium nitrate fertilizers provide the vital nutrients that plants require while also improving the soil's water retention capacity and fertility. It can be applied to the soil by irrigation water or applied to the soil by foliar treatments.

SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS

The global calcium nitrate market is segmented on the basis of and application. On the basis of application, the market is classified as, fertilizers, wastewater treatment chemicals, concrete manufacturing, explosives, and others. Based on application, the fertilizers segment accounted for a major calcium nitrate market share which can be attributed to the increasing use  of calcium nitrate in various applications. Calcium nitrate is a complex, water-soluble fertilizer constituting 15.5% nitrogen (N) in a readily available form and 18.5% calcium (Ca). Calcium is one of the secondary nutrients required for crop production. It helps improve fruit color, luster, and consistency; soil structure and water penetration; and crop’s pest and disease resistance. Calcium nitrate fertilizers are the only water-soluble source of calcium available for plants. It can be used as a fertilizer as well as a disease control agent. The compound helps stabilize cell growth as well as boosts protein and leaf production by promoting cell formation. It also helps in the detoxification of plants by neutralizing acids. This will further attract new growth opportunities for the overall industry growth.
