Market Overview Quarterly Update on Global Water
Soluble Fertilizers Market Asia   The Asian
fertilizer sector reported strong performance
during Q4 2020 led by higher sales volume. The
region witnessed abrupt spike in the prices of
WSF as the key raw materials- ammonia, phosphate,
potash etc. firmed due to global shortage. In
India, stocks for NPK remained pressured as the
key fertilizer exporter from Russia awaited final
decision from the Indian government as buyers
were waiting for clarifications regarding the
increase in fertilizer subsidy or MRP before
making any further purchases. Reduced inventory
levels and strong farmers appetite across the
Indian subcontinent pushed up the WSF offers
across the Indian markets. Prices spiked for
almost all important WSF products as traders
actively procured for the peak October-November
months for the winter rabi season. Get more

North America   The Americans reported strong
pull from the fertilizers segment due to a robust
growth in demand despite the economic downturn
due to surging COVID-19 cases. Geared up
agricultural practices in Canada prompted the
sectoral growth. The US fertilizer producers
reported volume growth in their quarterly sales
of Water Soluble Fertilizers and firmed margins.
Increase in the plantation of soil samplings in
the US which were recorded higher by about 24
during Q4 encouraged higher sales. WSF
applications picked up in the Southern Plains,
such as Oklahoma, in November as cooler weather
subsided while much of Texas remained warmer and
drier than expected. Supply remained tight as
several Russian exporters held back their volumes
to meet the domestic demand. Highly priced
Nitrogen and Phosphates triggered a quick rise in
the WSF prices across the US towards the end of
the quarter, prompting customers to make advance
payments for retail purchases. Nitrogenous water
Soluble Fertilizers showed sharp rise as Urea
rates were also seen surging over Q3 levels
against the backdrop of soaring gas price in
Nov-Dec period.   Europe   The European markets
were favorable for fertilizer producers
throughout the fourth quarter. Towards the
closing of 2021, the prices of some Water Soluble
Fertilizers showed marked year-on-year growth due
to high consumption by end consumers. A leading
Russian fertilizer producer reported robust
company sales and high margins despite lack of
exports to US and some Asian countries. For
December offers, prices for most of the
fertilizer products were maintained at high
levels as the key feedstocks which had remained
at lows throughout 2020 started gaining momentum
towards the end of Q4 due to recovering demand
and production constraints due to the winter
season. Ammonia FOB Baltic price which had
touched USD 211 per tonne during the fourth
quarter supported the WSF price growth.

class of fertilizers that are incorporated in
plants after thorough dissolution in water. The
addition of WSF often supports double or triple
the normal yield of the crop. The agricultural
sector is the key consumer of water-soluble
fertilizers. Due to their rapid impact, ease of
application and better coverage, Water Soluble
Fertilizers are preferred over conventional
chemical fertilizers. These can also be applied
more frequently than granular fertilizers,
therefore their usage can be varied as per their
requirement and availability. Being readily
soluble in water, Water Soluble Fertilizers (WSF)
facilitate easy fertigation by releasing
essential nutrients at the root of the plants
from where they are readily absorbed and
transported to the entire plant body. The key
fertilizers falling under this category are Urea
Phosphate, Sulphate of potash, Calcium Nitrate,
Potassium Nitrate, Mono Potassium Phosphate, Mono
Ammonium Phosphate etc. Ever growing demand for
agricultural products is the key reason driving
the demand for Water Soluble fertilizers across
the globe. However, growing awareness for organic
farming may limit the use of Water-Soluble
Fertilizers in longer terms.
