Potash is a white powder that includes various mined and manufactured salts that contain potassium in the water-soluble form, generally obtained from the ashes of burnt wood. According to BlueQuark Research & Consulting, the Global Potash market is expected to witness a significant growth rate during the forecasted period. Potassium is one of the three prime nutrients needed by the plants, and Potash contains soluble Potassium making it a suitable additive to agricultural fertilizers as it contains nutritions sufficient to sustain maturation by improving overall health, root strength, disease resistance, and yield rates, and final product produced possess with better properties such as enriched color, texture, and taste is estimated to drive the Global Potash market. In addition to this, Potash is a key ingredient in deicer products that clear snow and ice from surfaces like roads and building entrances because it lowers the freezing point of water, allowing it to melt ice and snow and prevent re-freezing, and employing a potassium-based alternative is also less harsh on soils and far less corrosive than traditional de-icing salts are expected to drive the Global Potash market. Further, the animal feed industry relies on Potash for its ability to boost the number of nutrients promoting healthy growth in animals and milk production thus, the demand for Potash as a supplement is projected to drive the Global Potash market. However, bloated global capacity and excess supply and stringent government regulations on the production of certain hazardous products such as crackers and fireworks are estimated to hib=nder the growth of the Global Potash market.

Potash is used to treat hard water in an environmentally responsible manner as it regenerates ion exchange resins more effectively than sodium chloride, resulting in a reduction in the overall amount of chlorides discharged in sewage or septic systems and Potash is a popular element for Pharmaceutical products as it aids correcting and maintaining electrolytes' balance in the human body and purifying insulin.

Fertilizers produced from Potash are the most common end-use, with the K2O component providing potassium (K), and these inorganic salts are primarily manufactured in dry form with particle sizes ranging from granular to coarse to fine. Over 90% of Potash generated globally is utilized to fertilize food crops, making it the most valuable and widely used potassium fertilizer on the planet. Increased yield and enhanced quality of agricultural produce the ability of plants to resist diseases, insect attacks, cold and drought stresses, and other adverse conditions are achieved by the use of Potash, and it also helps in the development of a healthy and robust root system and increases the efficiency of the uptake and use of nitrogen and other nutrients. In addition to this, it boosts the nutritional value of grains, tubers, and fruits by increasing protein and oil content in seeds, starch content in tubers and seeds, and vitamin C and sugar content in fruits and also raises the growth of tubers and fruits and improves their flavor and color. Furthermore, it enhances resistance to damage during storage and transit, extending shelf life.

Some of the market’s key players are Nutrien Ltd., Mosaic Company, Urakali, Eurochem Group, Encanto Potash Corp., Intrepid Potash Inc., and Israel Chemicals Ltd., among others.

The Asia Pacific region is poised to be the leader in the production and the subsequent consumption of Potash, with most of the consumption in countries like China and India. China has a high population and a limited amount of cropland. It has about 1.34 billion people and less than 0.1 hectares of arable land per person, less than one-third of the global average. As a result, China is constantly put under pressure to provide food security. On the other hand, the Chinese have worked hard to retain a high level of self-sufficiency, which currently stands at 95%. Even with only 9% of fertile land available, the country feeds up to 20% of its inhabitants. This outstanding performance has ensured a significant contribution to the world's grain supply stability. Potash Fertilizer has unquestionably played an important and indispensable role in producing Chinese crops. In addition to this, significant initiatives are being taken by the government of the respective nations in the region to uplift the health standards, and this will boost the pharmaceutical industry in the region, potassium being an essential component in human nutrition as well. Factors like these have made Asia-Pacific an essential region for growth in the Potash market.

In December 2021, Gensource announced Increase in Potash Asset Base.
