Posted on 2019-07-10 by Mark Hub in Chemicals // 0 Comments

Rockville, USA, 2019-Jul-10 — /EPR Network/ — Fact.MR has published a recent report on the ferrous sulfate market for the forecast period of 2018 to 2028, which offers cumulative insights on the captivating trends influencing long-term aspects of the industry. As per the study, demand from the agricultural domain is foreseen to be one of the key influencing factors driving growth of ferrous sulfate market over the forecast timespan. Moreover, the report also reinforces on the fact that surging production of animal livestock will be a prominent influencer boosting the growth of ferrous sulfate market.

Being the backbone of every economy, agriculture continues to witness steady growth worldwide. According to OECD and FAO, agricultural trade is expected to remain resilient to economic downturns. In a bid to cater to the growing demand for agricultural products, it has become imperative to produce maximum yield using compound fertilizers. Against this backdrop, increasing use of ferrous sulfate as a major ingredient in compound fertilizers, has been witnessed, which facilitates development and growth, promoting photosynthesis in plants. In addition, ferrous sulfate in compound fertilizers also reduces the alkalinity of the soil in turn enhancing soil fertility and preventing chlorosis. Ferrous sulfate used in compound fertilizers also ensures maximum absorption of other vital nutrients such as phosphorous and nitrogen. This factor continues to influence the demand for ferrous sulfate worldwide, in turn contributing to its market’s marginal growth.

Rising Premature Babies Influence Ferrous Sulfate Demand

Ferrous sulfate acts as a brain enhancer and supports development of red blood cells. The demand for ferrous sulfate is likely to remain influenced with its significant application in the therapeutic space where it is used as a preventive measure for anemia caused due to lack of red blood cells, particularly among premature babies. Increasing premature birth rates, especially in developed countries such as the United States, is expected to influence the use of ferrous sulfate in baby nutrition. In the US alone, around 10 percent of babies are born prematurely and rate of preterm birth. Likewise, in the emerging economies such as China and India, steady increase in premature births has become a subject of concern associated with baby nutrition and health. If not properly monitored, every preterm birth could result in stillbirths within the first week of birth. As early born babies lack iron content needed for brain development, the use of ferrous sulfate is likely to witness an upsurge in this application in turn providing potential growth avenues for ferrous sulfate market in the forthcoming years.
