The agriculture markets will need to be transformed in never envisaged ways in order to supply sufficient food output to keep the global population nutritiously fed. In this phenomenon lies the opportunity for growth of fertilizer usage and shaping the demand patterns for sustainable solutions, as new farming methods are being developed. The demand for fertilizers is concurrent with the agricultural output of countries and their population & food demand. As such, China and India, home to nearly 2.8 billion people, collectively accounted for over 40% of the global fertilizer volume utilized in 2021.

Nitrogenous Fertilizer Market Insights

The global nitrogenous fertilizer market size was valued at USD 57.2 billion in 2021 and is projected to register a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7% in terms of revenue from 2022 to 2030. The growth is attributed to the increasing popularity of agriculture on a commercial level across the world. There has been a rising demand for nitrogenous fertilizers from the agriculture industry for providing appropriate nutrition to the various food crops, thereby improving their yield. Agricultural commodities including vegetables, fruits, cotton, and cereals are crucial areas of application for these fertilizers. The production capacity of the crops is broadly affected by variations in climatic conditions, thereby changing the supply and demand of crops according to different seasons. The fertilizers are crucial ingredients utilized in agricultural practice for enhancing crop growth. A large number of crops cultivated across the world use fertilizers.

Phosphate Fertilizer Market Insights

The global phosphate fertilizer market size was valued at USD 61.63 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7% from 2022 to 2040. This is attributed to the increased demand from agricultural producers for a fertilizer that provides necessary nutrients such as nitrogen and potassium. Agricultural products, such as fruits, vegetables, cereals, and pulses, are major application areas. The use of phosphorous fertilizers in various grains promotes root growth, improves crop quality, and enhances stalk strength. Phosphorus rocks are the most significant global sources of phosphorus. Globally, the U.S. is the leading producer and consumer of phosphate rocks, which are primarily used for the manufacturing of the product. The rising global demand for food is a significant factor driving the growth of the market.

Biofertilizers Market Insights

The global biofertilizers market size was valued at USD 1.5 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.8% from 2023 to 2030. The increasing usage of microbes in biofertilizers proves the potential for sustainable farming methods and food safety. The increasing concern with respect to food safety is expected to drive the market for biofertilizers over the forecast period. The EU “Common Agricultural Policy” promotes the use of bio-based products along with organic farming and provides up to 30.0% of the budget as direct green payment to farmers complying with sustainable agricultural practices. A favorable regulatory scenario, especially in North America and Europe is expected to be a key driving factor for the market for biofertilizers over the next couple of years across these regions.

Water Soluble Fertilizer Market Insights

The global water soluble fertilizer market size was valued at USD 12.5 billion in 2015 and is expected to register a CAGR of 6.5% in terms of revenue over the forecast period. Soaring demand for food crops, food grains, vegetables, and fruits in emerging economies like China, India, and Brazil is likely to positively influence product demand. Surge in population, along with rising inclination of consumers toward disease-free and healthy fresh fruit and vegetables, will fuel market growth over the coming years.

There has been increasing demand for and adoption of drip irrigation as it saves water and is suitable for all lands, including undulating terrain, barren lands, rolling topography, and areas with shallow soil layers. Rising government initiatives focused on increasing agricultural output, coupled with implementation of various subsidies to promote the use of drip irrigation will have a positive impact on the industry.
