The Middle East potash Market Size encompasses the entire cycle of potash (potassium-based minerals) production, distribution, and trade, with the primary use being as a key nutrient in fertilisers. The area is the world's leading supplier thanks to the extensive deposits, particularly those around the Dead Sea. The application of potash in agriculture is aimed at the fertilisers that increase the yield of crops, add to the quality of plants, and make them more resistant to drought and diseases. Besides, it is an important ingredient in industrial chemicals, animal feed, and water treatment processes.

The Arab Potash Company in Jordan started the Southern Expansion Project in 2025 which was intended to increase the annual output by almost 740,000 tonnes and thus the total capacity of the plant would reach about 3.7 million tonnes by 2029. This development will not only augment the potash production of the area but also strengthen the Jordan's position as the major global supplier of potash through exporting.

The Jordanian government, following the commands of the king, has notably given orders to the concerned parties to make the Arab Potash Company (APC) projects, particularly the ones related to water, energy and industrial expansion aimed at improving competitiveness and production capacity in the global markets, faster and easier to complete. In a bid to enhance agricultural sustainability, the UAE government revamped its regulations to include among others, the provision of potash products as a part of the environmentally friendly fertilizers to be promoted for soil health. This policy facilitates the use of efficient fertilizers by farmers and also aids in the improvement of soil fertility.

In the coming years, the Middle East potash market is expected to grow significantly due to the continuous food security initiatives, the increase in irrigated and greenhouse farming, the rising demand for speciality fertilisers, and the capacity expansion of major manufacturers.

Market Dynamics of the Middle East Potash Market:

The Middle East potash market is driven by the food security initiatives, modern agricultural practices being adopted more and more, and the demand for high-efficiency fertilizers rising. In addition to these factors, the market growth is also supported by the continuation of greenhouse farming, the government's backing for eco-friendly farming, and the robust demand for exports from Asia and Europe.

The Middle East potash market is restrained by the high production and energy costs, water scarcity, environmental regulations, and the dependency on global fertiliser price fluctuations that can also impact profitability and thus become a factor in the investment decision process.

The Middle East potash market is bright and promising, very much alive and represents a good opportunity, backed by government support, growing production capacity, the overall demand for fertiliser getting higher, and more concern about food security and eco-friendly agriculture.

Market Segmentation

The Middle East Potash Market share is classified into product and end use.

By Product:

The Middle East potash market is divided by product into potassium chloride, potassium sulphate, potassium nitrate, and other products. Among these, the potassium chloride dominated the share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period. Potassium Chloride reigns because it is the most cost-effective and the most common potash fertiliser, which can be used for a variety of crops. The Middle East has a powerful production capacity and a good export infrastructure for potassium chloride, and its high potassium content makes it the number one choice for large-scale agriculture.

By End Use:

The Middle East potash market is divided by service into agriculture and other end-uses. Among these, the agriculture segment accounted for the largest market share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period. Agriculture prevails as potash is an indispensable nutrient for plants, and the governments of the Middle East are very much in favour of fertilisers as they consider it a way to increase the productivity of the land, ensure food supply, and further take up modern farming methods like irrigated and greenhouse agriculture.
