Global ferrous sulfate market is expected to witness a positive growth trend over the forecast period. The growing demand from agriculture industry is expected to be a key driver. Ferrous sulfate is an important iron supplement for plants. It is widely used as a fertilizer to treat iron deficiencies and chlorosis in crops. Rising consumption of meat and poultry boosts demand for ferrous sulfate from animal feed industry. Being an affordable source of iron, it is a commonly used feed additive. Furthermore, water treatment plants extensively use ferrous sulfate for purification of water resources. Its ability to remove pollutants such as fluorides and phosphates from water is augmenting its use in this application.

Water Treatment Industry

Ferrous sulfate is extensively used as a coagulant in water treatment plants for purification of drinking water. It is used to remove impurities from raw water sources such as lakes and rivers before the water is supplied to households and industries. Ferrous sulfate helps to reduce turbidity in water by binding suspended solid particles together so that these settled at the bottom. This allows production of crystal clear potable water conforming to stringent quality standards. As population grows, demand for clean drinking water increases. Rapid urbanization and industrialization especially in developing nations is exerting pressure on existing water resources. This is prompting significant investments in infrastructure for water treatment. Growing emphasis on reuse of wastewater for non-potable purposes like in construction industry or landscape irrigation is also fueling expansion of water treatment plants. Widened application of membrane technologies for water purification worldwide can drive the market growth.
