Global Potassium Chloride Category - Procurement Market Intelligence Report
About Potassium Chloride Market
Potassium chloride is a metal halide salt that readily dissolves in water. It is white, odorless, and has a crystalline appearance. Potassium chloride closely resembles common salt in appearance and is soluble in water, alkalis, and alcohol. Moreover, potassium chloride is used as a source of potassium supplement in agriculture. Low levels of potassium can result in brown scorching, curling of leaf tips, and chlorosis in plants among others. It can affect the growth of plants and the development of roots, seeds, and fruits.
The growth in demand for fertilizers from the agricultural industry is estimated to be one of the major factors driving the potassium chloride market during the forecast period. The growing demand for food crops from rapidly rising populations around the world is exerting pressure on the agricultural industry to produce better yield per unit area of cultivated land. This, in turn, is increasing the demand for fertilizers such as potassium chloride, which can help drive the crop yield.
