Market Overview Quarterly Update on Global
Ammonium Sulphate Market   For the Quarter Ending
September 2020   Asia A rebound in Caprolactam
price in northeast Asia eased the prices for
Ammonium Sulphate in the region during the third
quarter. Pent-up demand from the downstream
fertilizer industry during the pandemic led to a
substantial increase in the spot buyers. Get

Encouraged by environment regulation policies,
there was an upside potential in the demand of
Ammonium Sulphate from those engaged in
powerplant desulphurization. However, imposed
travel restrictions kept the export volumes
exceptionally low. The quarter ended with as new
capacities of byproduct Caprolactam announced in
Indonesia and Malaysia further create an
oversupply situation. Price of Ammonium Sulphate
was assessed around USD 123 per tonne CFR
Southeast Asia in mid-September. North
America   Majority of Ammonium Sulphate produced
in North America produces Caprolactam as a
by-product.  Local producers, due to oversupply
situation of Caprolactam in the nylon markets are
focusing on domestic Ammonium Sulphate market.
However, production issues due to Hurricane Laura
at the primary product caprolactam pushed up the
pricing curve for the by-product AS during
mid-August. As per our market sources, it is
estimated that farmers in North America can
potentially increase 1 million tonne demand for
Ammonium Sulphate next year, thereby creating a
huge opportunity for the regional Ammonium
Sulphate market.   Europe   The restart of
export-oriented plants in Russia and Ukraine saw
a burst of sales activity in the Black Sea for
late October and early November loadings. Spot
supply from Russia and Ukraine was booked for the
steady flow of cargoes for the rest of the year
given that the regions plant turnaround season
is over. Spain and Turkey are booked to receive
their usual contract volumes from various
suppliers, while other countries also securing
supply on spot basis for prompt arrival. However,
as the governments and companies expected to get
to grips with the second wave of the coronavirus,
the demand of Ammonium Sulphate from the
fertilizer manufacturers is expected to increase
in Q4.

Several ongoing development projects across
industries are tracked, followed by the details
of major projects in the development stage, which
can positively or negatively influence Global
Ammonium Sulphate market. About Ammonium
sulphate (AS) is an inorganic salt with several
commercial uses. It is generally produced by
three different processes as a byproduct of
Caprolactam production, combining anhydrous
ammonia and sulphuric acid in a reactor and by
reacting ammonia recovered from coke oven gas
with sulphuric acid. The primary use of the
compound is as the soil fertilizer as it contains
nitrogen and sulphur. The chemical has also been
used in flame retardant chemicals because of its
capability to increase the combustion temperature
of the material. Demand for nutrient rich food,
development in agriculture industry and receding
arable land will be the major growth driver for
the Ammonium Sulphate in the forecast period. The
agriculture industry is the largest end-consumer
for Ammonium Sulphate. On the other hand,
volatility in the raw material prices is one of
the major hinderances to the growth of Ammonium
Sulphate market in the forecast period.
