Global Potash Production See Robust Growth with Rising Output in Belarus, Russia and Canada
IndexBox has just published a new report: 'World - Potassium Hydroxide (Caustic Potash) - Market Analysis, Forecast, Size, Trends And Insights'. Here is a summary of the report's key findings.
Global Potash Production
In 2021, global potash production rose by 2.3% y/y to 46M tons of potassium oxide (K2O) equivalent, thanks to rising production in Belarus, Russia and Canada. Potash output in Belarus increased from 7.4M tons to 8M tons, while production in Russia and Canada expanded by 11% y/y to 11M tons and by 1.4% y/y to 14M tons.
Asian, South American and South American countries remain the leading consuming regions, recording the highest consumption growth last year. Driven by rising demand, global potash production is expected to grow by 11% to 51M tons of potassium oxide (K2O) equivalent by 2025 due to a further expansion of capacities in Belarus, Canada and Russia. The planned launch of new mining mines in Brazil, Canada, Ethiopia, Morocco, Spain, and the United States may be delayed due to unfavourable economic conditions or funding.
Global Potassium Hydroxide Exports
In 2020, approx. 1.1M tons of potassium hydroxide (caustic potash) were exported worldwide, decreasing -9.2% against the year before. In value terms, supplies dropped to $646M (IndexBox estimates).
In 2020, Belgium (357K tons), distantly followed by South Korea (208K tons), the U.S. (116K tons), the Czech Republic (79K tons), Germany (77K tons) and Italy (69K tons) were the leading exporters of potassium hydroxide, together mixing up 80% of total supplies. China (48K tons) held a relatively small share of total volume.
In value terms, the largest potassium hydroxide supplying countries worldwide were South Korea ($147M), Belgium ($133M) and the U.S. ($79M), with a combined 56% share of global exports. These countries were followed by the Czech Republic, China, Italy and Germany, which together accounted for a further 21%.
In 2020, the average potassium hydroxide export price amounted to $572 per ton, levelling off at the previous year. There were significant differences in the average prices amongst the major exporting countries. In 2020, the country with the highest price was China ($727 per ton), while Germany ($356 per ton) was the lowest. In 2020, the most notable price growth rate was attained by Germany.
