The growing need for fertilizer, the use of precision agriculture, the increasing sulfur deficit in soils, wastewater treatment applications, the expansion of the mining industry, and developments in sustainable agricultural inputs make the ammonium thiosulphate market.  

Market Overview       

The industrial sector known as the Global Ammonium Thiosulphate Market includes all operations that create transport, and use ammonium thiosulfate. The system creates precision agriculture processes that decrease nitrogen leaching while enabling sulfur-deficient soils to produce higher crop yields through fertigation, foliar feeding, and soil application. Ammonium thiosulphate operates as a primary fertilizer solution that agriculture uses to boost crop yield, soil fertility, and farm production through its essential nitrogen and sulfur nutrients. Government initiatives and policies encourage the use of ATS for soil fertility and food security. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides funding for sustainable agriculture programs as part of its investment strategy.

In November 2025, the Government of India launched ammonium sulphate under the Nutrient-Based Subsidy (NBS) scheme beginning Rabi 2025–26, extending equal benefits to domestic and imported supplies. Offering Rs 9,479 per tonne for AS 20.5-0-0-23, the initiative aims to reduce urea dependence and encourage balanced fertilizer consumption nationwide. The ammonium thiosulphate market continues to expand through increasing demand for liquid ammonium thiosulfate formulations which customers prefer due to their nutritional value and simple application method.
