세계의 질산칼슘 시장 : 예측(2024-2029년)

The global calcium nitrate market is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.4% during the projection period 2024 and 2029.

Calcium nitrate is an inorganic compound that has the chemical formula Ca(NO3)2. It is also known as Norgessalpeter. It is a nitrate salt of calcium which consists of calcium, nitrogen, and oxygen. Calcium nitrate absorbs moisture from the air and is a white or whitish-grey-colored granular solid.

Calcium nitrate is often used as a coagulant in latex manufacturing, particularly in dipping operations. A portion of the dipping bath fluid frequently contains dissolved calcium nitrate. The heated former is dipped in the coagulation liquid, leaving behind a thin coating of dipping liquid. When the former is dipped into the latex, the calcium nitrate disrupts the latex solution's stabilization, and the latex coagulates on the former. Calcium nitrate is also used as fertilizers in agriculture or as an oxidizing agent in match manufacturing.

GLOBAL CALCIUM NITRATE MARKET DRIVERS:

• Product innovation in calcium nitrate, with a focus on improved formulations and broader uses, supports market development by increasing efficiency and sustainability. Akron, for example, has sold over fifty-five thousand tonnes of high-quality calcium nitrate after the new production started in August 2022. The firm sells across Russia, as well as in Latin America, Africa, India, and Southeast Asia.

In addition to this, in April 2021, FBSciences announced three new calcium nitrate (CN) compatible products, bringing the total number of products offered by the company to six. These products are compatible with YaraLiva calcium nitrate fertilizers, building on the success of the original three products in the range which includes ZiCAN, BorCAN, and ManCAN Soil. FBSciences, a global biostimulant, and biopesticides company that has a comprehensive approach to crop nutrition, therefore announced the expansion of the range to include CopCAN and PhotoCAN, as well as FlexCAN CN-compatible soils.

Besides this, Haifa Cal calcium nitrate products are an excellent source of plant-available calcium for various crops and growth systems. Haifa Cal products include nitrogen in the form of nitrate (NO3-), which enhances plant nutrition and increases calcium absorption efficiency. Haifa Cal products can be applied efficiently using Nutrigation, foliar sprays, and soil treatments.

Government measures such as agricultural input subsidies and environmental regulatory frameworks impact market dynamics while also stimulating innovation in line with sustainability aims. Shri Mansukh Mandaviya, Union Minister of State for Chemicals and Fertilisers and Minister of State for Shipping introduced an indigenous type of Calcium Nitrate and Boronated Calcium Nitrate made by Gujarat State Fertilisers and Chemicals in the year 2020. In the calcium nitrate market, these factors work together to increase demand and support economic growth.

• Calcium nitrate is often used to pre-condition wastewater for odor pollution management. The pre-conditioning of wastewater is aimed at the formation of anoxic life in the wastewater system. The metabolism of sulfates ceases in the presence of nitrate, which prevents the formation of hydrogen sulfide. Additionally, simple degradable organic waste is consumed, which may lead to the development of anaerobic zones downstream and pollute the water with odors.

Thus, it can be seen that wastewater treatment has an effective cooperative relationship between product innovation and governmental initiatives which is anticipated to positively impact the calcium nitrate market. For example, BreviniTM S-Series industrial planetary gearboxes, intended to fulfill the durability and reliability standards of biogas production and wastewater treatment facilities, were made available in January 2022, according to a Dana Incorporated press release.

Nonetheless, government policies, such as environmental restrictions and water quality standards further promote market growth by requiring compliance and promoting investment in sophisticated treatment facilities. For example, governments and authorities throughout the world have made efforts such as the UNEP's Global Wastewater Initiative and the World Bank Group's Water Resources Management to address the wastewater problem, which has created possibilities in the calcium nitrate industry.

Moreover, in March 2023, the European Union approved a €70m investment grant for North Macedonia and the European Investment Bank. The first purpose of the grant was to provide a subsidy for the construction of a wastewater treatment plant in Skopje. The funding also included the construction of the facility, and thus the grants were the highest from the European Union in Macedonia.

GLOBAL CALCIUM NITRATE MARKET SEGMENT ANALYSIS:

• By application, fertilizer is one of the most popular segments.

Calcium nitrate belongs to the category of combination fertilizers as it contains both nitrogen and calcium. Therefore if a plant is deficient in either of these nutrients, it can be modified using calcium nitrate. This chemical is especially effective for nourishing fruit-bearing plants. Calcium Nitrate is also used to cure or prevent several plant diseases.

Haifa Group is a worldwide corporation and the world's largest distributor of specialized plant nutrition. For decades, Haifa has established itself as a global leader, known for its innovative solutions in many fields of expertise. The company offers Nutrigation liquid nutrients and liquid specialty fertilizers, foliar feeding nutrients, controlled-release fertilizers, and granules.

Along with this, there are several factors affecting the fertilizer sector around the globe such as demands for crops and the requirement for production that may be already dictated by current local governments and subsidies. In addition, the fertilizer purchasing decisions of producers are affected by the fluctuations in the global prices that accompany specific crops, in particular maize and soybeans.

Precision agriculture technical advancements that enable expansion are also driving up global fertilizer usage. According to the USDA, crop area harvested per 1,000 acres in the US grew from 2,91,429 thousand acres in 2020 to 2,98,863 thousand acres in 2021. The list included crops such as corn, sorghum, oats, barley, rye, winter wheat, durum wheat, rice, soybeans, peanuts, sunflower, cotton, dry edible beans, chickpeas, potatoes, canola, proso millet, and sugarbeets, as well as harvested acreage for hay, tobacco, and sugarcane, including double cropped acres and unharvested small grains.

In addition to this, most governments globally sponsor research and development in the fertilizer industry and this often leads to the utilization of calcium nitrate in new product development. Therefore, in March 2023, Tom Vilsack, the head of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), reported that 351 independent businesses from 47 of the United States and two territories showed their interest in US$3 billion in the two rounds of a new grant program to boost the innovation in homemade fertilizer production.

• Asia Pacific's calcium nitrate market is anticipated to grow significantly.

Asia Pacific region is expected to have the largest demand for calcium nitrate during the projected period. The necessity for agricultural fertilizer in emerging nations such as China, Japan, and India, as well as the increased use of calcium nitrate in wastewater treatment plants in these regions, are expected to fuel the demand for calcium nitrate in the region.

Fertilizers are one of the largest industries globally, and China has a significant percentage of the import and export market for significant fertilizers. While fertilizer production is highly industrial, application depends on the type of soil and type of crops grown. Consequently, fertilizer consumption is common in most countries of the world. The use of fertilizer per hectare varies from one nation to another. Some nations use more fertilizer per hectare than others. Research-based on the International Fertilizer Association's (IFA's) 3-year average data reveals that China is by far the largest consumer of fertilizer worldwide, consuming about one-quarter of the total global fertilizer. India is another leading fertilizer consumer and ranks as the second largest buyer. The subsidies on fertilizers provided by the Indian government constitute a major demand for India's requirements.

Furthermore, according to the International Trade Administration, China has planned to open or reconstruct 80,000 km of sewage-collecting pipeline networks as stated on April 2023. Second and third-tier cities will have opportunities in the maintenance of sewage pipelines and the treatment of black and odorous water bodies, as well as the construction of wastewater treatment plants with the policy support and investment focus of China. This growth in government initiatives further impacts the growth of calcium nitrate in wastewater treatment.

Comprehensively, the use of calcium nitrate in the fertilizer industry coupled with its usage in wastewater treatment fuels the demand for the product in the Asia Pacific region.
