Report Description

Global fertilizers market is expected to grow at a steady rate during the forecast period. The global fertilizers market is driven by the growing need to maintain food safety and security. This includes increasing the produce and supplying essential nutrients to the soil, which in turn is expected to fuel the market growth through 2025. Additionally, rapid urbanization and industrialization has led to shrinking in the land available for agricultural activities, thereby propelling the market growth over the next few years. Furthermore, increasing demand for organic food is expected to positively influence the market growth during the forecast period. Besides, technological advancements in the field of agriculture such as incorporation of AI and IoT, precision agriculture, among others, are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market growth over the next few years. However, sudden outbreak and spread of pandemic COVID-19 led to the lockdown across nations shutting all manufacturing, agriculture, and other activities. This has hampered the agricultural industry on account of the demand supply gap, thereby slowing down the market growth.

The global fertilizers market is segmented based on type, origin, form, mode of application, crop type, company and region. Based on type, the market can be split into straight and complex. The straight type can further be categorized into nitrogenous, phosphatic, potash, secondary macronutrient fertilizers, micronutrient fertilizers and others. Among these, the micronutrient fertilizers segment is expected to hold a significant market share in the market as most of the soils are devoid of micronutrients, especially zinc, which is essential for the growth of crop. Based on form, the market can be bifurcated into solid and liquid. Here, the liquid form is expected to dominate the market owing to their efficacy and stability. Additionally, these are easily absorbed by the plants and crops, which is anticipated to drive the market growth.

Regionally, the global fertilizers market has been segmented into Asia-Pacific, North America, South America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. Among these regions, North America is expected to dominate the overall fertilizers market during the forecast period owing to the early adoption and use of fertilizers in the region.   

Major players operating in the global fertilizers market include Yara International ASA, The Mosaic Company, Nutrien Limited, K+S AG, Groupe OCP, CF Industries Holdings, Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC), Bunge Limited, Syngenta AG, BASF SE, Bayer Crop Science, Agrium, Sumitomo Chemical Co. Ltd., Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative Limited, Coromandel International Ltd. and others. The companies are developing advanced technologies and launching new products in order to stay competitive in the market. Other competitive strategies include mergers & acquisitions.
