Potassium Nitrate Industry Report 2021 Segmented in Agriculture, General, Pharmaceutical and Food industry


Global Potassium Nitrate Market is segmented by end users as Agriculture, General industries, Pharmaceutical industry, and Food industry. Potassium nitrate is basically a chemical compound that possesses the chemical formula of KNO3. It normally appears as a mineral niter and it is a natural solid source of nitrogen. It is said to be a crystalline solid possessing the color of white and dirty gray. Its prominent properties may include water solubility, and non-combustibility.
This chemical compound is among several nitrogen-containing compounds that are jointly called as saltpeter or saltpetre.
The most significant uses of potassium nitrate encompass in fertilizers, tree stump elimination, rocket propellants and fireworks. It is said to be one of the most important element of gunpowder (blackpowder). Since the middle Ages, it has been employed as a food preservative.

The potassium nitrate is usually formed with the assistance of a double decomposition reaction of sodium nitrate and potassium chloride. It has been found that if large amount of the compound is mixed up in the fire, it may give rise to explosion. There are chances of exploding under extended exposure to heat or fire. Prominent factors that are playing a key role in the growth of the potassium nitrate market include augmented world population, raised level of per capita income, and huge demand for high-quality foods.


The major challenges that the market is currently facing include loss of soil fertility and the arable land cover. Over a period, the chemical components in the fertilizers and pesticides break down and contaminate the soil. This reduces the fertility of the soil. For instance, in China and India, the excessive usage of fertilizer is resulting in deterioration of soil health, resulting in a fall in arable Land .Among all, the agricultural segment is accounting for the largest market share and it is anticipated that it will gain a huge momentum in the next couple of years. As it is known that potassium is the most widely employed fertilizer nutrient.
Plus, it aids in enhancing the water retention, nutrient value, color, texture, yield, and disease resistance of crops. Potassium Nitrate Market is segmented on the basis of raw material as potassium chloride, sodium nitrate, and ammonium nitrate. Among all, potassium chloride is the extensively used raw material as compared to others. Potassium Nitrate industry is segmented on the basis of geography as North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Rest of the World.
As far as the geography is concerned, Asia Pacific is currently dominating the potassium nitrate market, the reason being augmented demand for nitrogen-based fertilizers in the particular region. Countries including China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam are considered to be the largest markets for these fertilizers. The key players operating in the Potassium Nitrate Market include Arab Fertilizers and Chemicals, Haifa, K+S AG, GFS Chemicals, Migao, SQM, Uralchem, Yara Chemicals, Agrium, Barium and Chemicals, ICL, Potash Corp, and Qinghai Salt Lake

Tonic Water Industry Raw Materials,Manufacturing Expenses and Its Competitors Report 2021

Tonic Water Market is segmented based on type, application, and region. Tonic water is carbonated beverage used as a mixer with gin or other spirits to which quinine is an important ingredient that is bitter in taste. Tonic water is also known as quinine water, Indian tonic. Quinine has property to fight against malaria. The pure tonic water is medicinal and is very bitter in taste, because large proportion of quinine and no sweetener. Quinine is extracted from the cinchona tree and is the first successful drug used to treat human infections disease. Presently, tonic water contains lower amount of quinine content and is consumed for its distinctive bitter flavor. It is also used in mixed drinks, mainly in gin and tonic. Diet and slim line tonic water contains artificial sweeteners such as aspartame. In the United States, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) limits the quinine content in the tonic water to 83ppm, while the daily therapeutic dose of quinine is in the ra...

Dried Aluminum Hydroxide Gel Industry Side Effects and Uses Report

Global Dried Aluminum Hydroxide Gel Market is expected to gain a positive CAGR in the forthcoming period. Dried aluminum hydroxide gel is a naturally occurring mineral comprising three layers namely polymorphs, bayerite, doyleite & nordstrandite. Aluminum hydroxide gel is also known as gibbsite. Gibbsite possess a typical metal hydroxide structure comprised with hydrogen bombs. It consists of dual layers of hydroxyl groups with aluminum ions having two-thirds of octahedral holes amid the layers. Apart from medicinal uses, dried aluminum hydroxide gel is also used as fire retardant and is very effective as a smoke suppressant in a wide range of polymers. Commercial driving factors responsible for the growth of dried aluminum hydroxide gel market includes extensive use of aluminum hydroxide gel for medication purpose.

Flexible Glass Industry-Trends In Market and Forecast Report 2022

The global flexible Glass market is expected to witness significant demand over the forecast period. Glass is a solid material which displays glass transition and can also take convertible transitions in amorphous materials. Being brittle in state glasses are optically transparent by nature. Glass possess characteristics such as temperature, strength, stability and durability. The most commonly known glass is soda lime glass mainly made up of silicon dioxide, sodium oxide and lime. Thus, flexible glass resembles the properties of a rigid glass material though it is ultra-thin glass. Moreover, flexible glass can also resemble properties such as scratch resistance and rigidity as those in plastics. Flexible glass is primarily used to multiply the strength & flexibility of the finished product and in turn increase the shell life of the product. It helps in keeping electronic gadgets to minimize their weights, increase its shine and making high-end better and quality product...
