Read the full market overview
At present, the production process of potassium carbonate mainly includes Electrolysis Method, Ion Exchange Method, Ash Method and Other Method. At present, ion exchange method and electrolysis method are commonly used in the market. The Ash Method and Other Method production process has been eliminated due to high energy consumption, serious pollution, poor product quality and unsuitability for large-scale production.
The main consumption areas of global potassium carbonate are Glass & Ceramic manufacturing, Agrochemicals, Pharmaceutical, Food Industry and Potassium Salts. Global potassium carbonate is mainly used to manufacture glass & ceramics, with agrochemical industries accounting for 31% and 26% respectively.
As the largest consumer country, China accounting for 30% of the global total. In China, potassium carbonate has different quality grades and is widely used in food, pesticide, medicine, industry and other fields. The United States is the second important consumer country, with consumption accounting for 12% of the global during last year.
