North America Copper Sulphate Market

Market Overview:

The North America copper sulphate market size reached 139,000 Tons in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 174,600 Tons by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.3% during 2025-2033. The rising product adoption in the agriculture industry, the growth in infrastructure development activities, including construction and industrial projects, and increasing product applications in water treatment and aquaculture are among the key factors driving the market growth.

Copper sulfate, also known as cupric sulfate or blue vitriol, is a chemical compound with the formula CuSO4. It is composed of copper (Cu) ions bonded to sulfate (SO4) ions. Copper sulfate occurs as a blue crystalline solid or a powder and is highly soluble in water. It is also highly miscible with a wide variety of solvents and contains beneficial fungicidal properties. As a result, copper sulphate is used across diverse industries, such as mining, agriculture, pharmaceutical, textile, rubber and petroleum, for dyeing and electroplating.

The market is primarily driven by the rising product adoption in the agricultural industry. The agriculture sector is a significant driver of the copper sulfate market. Copper sulfate is used as a fungicide and pesticide in crop protection to control fungal diseases, algae, and certain pests. It is applied in various crops, including fruits, vegetables, cereals, and ornamental plants. Additionally, copper sulfate is used as a nutritional supplement for livestock and poultry to prevent copper deficiency, promoting healthy growth and reproduction. Copper sulfate is also used in consumer and industrial products. It finds applications in the formulation of herbicides, wood preservatives, pigments, and dyes. Copper sulfate is also employed in the production of copper-based catalysts, analytical reagents, and inorganic salts used in laboratory settings and chemical manufacturing.

North America Copper Sulphate Market Trends/Drivers:

The rising product adoption in the agriculture industry

The growing adoption of copper sulfate as a fungicide and pesticide in the agriculture industry is driving the demand for copper sulfate products.
