Ammonium sulphate consumption has enjoyed a 1.7% year-on-year growth since 2000 and global demand is expected to increase from 20.5 million tonnes in 2007 to 24.2 million tonnes in 2020.

Prices have been increasing in the last few years and 2008 in particular saw increased volatility which materialised in prices spiking at unimaginable record highs in the first half of the year and collapsing in the last quarter, tracking the price trends of other nitrogen fertilizers such as urea. Early 2009 showed signs of price recovery.
