Specialty Fertilizers Market by Type (UAN, CAN, MAP, Potassium Sulfate, and Potassium Nitrate), Application Method (Soil, Foliar, and Fertigation), Form (Dry and Liquid), Crop Type, Technology, and Region Global Forecast to 2025
[220 pages report] The specialty fertilizers market is estimated to account for a value of USD 36.1 billion in 2019 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2019, to reach a value of USD 52.4 billion by 2025. The increase in demand for enhanced high-efficiency fertilizers, ease of use and application of specialty fertilizers, and adoption of precision farming and protected agriculture are some of the factors that are projected to drive the growth of the specialty fertilizers market.
By crop type, the fruits & vegetables segment is projected to be the fastest-growing segment in the specialty fertilizers market during the forecast period.
The trend of consuming fruits has witnessed a growth in the past two decades, and this trend is projected to continue in the coming years. According to the FAO, China is the largest producer of fresh fruits and vegetables, which has surpassed the production and growth in the US and India in 2018. The increasing exports of fruits & vegetables have also led to an increase in the crop plantation area, which has resulted in a rise in their production levels. Hence, the specialty fertilizers market for fruits & vegetables is projected to witness significant growth.
By type, the urea-ammonium nitrate segment is projected to dominate the specialty fertilizers market during the forecast period.
UAN is considered to be an excellent irrigation fertilizer for cereal production and irrigated plant cultivation. It is basically used before plowing the field, which helps in enhancing its degradation. Solutions of urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) are widely used as a source of nitrogen for plant nutrition. In combination with plant protective agents, it is mixed in the irrigation water for irrigated plant cultivation. Fluid fertilizers are blended together to meet the specific needs of a crop. Its advantage is that it contains both fast (nitrate-nitrogen) and slow (ammonium nitrogen and amide nitrogen) components, just as ammonium nitrate and urea.
By application method, the fertigation segment is projected to be the fastest-growing segment in the specialty fertilizers market during the forecast period.
Fertigation is an agricultural technique, which includes water and fertilizer application through irrigation. This process provides an opportunity to maximize the yield and minimize environmental pollution. Moreover, through fertigation, a farmer can uniformly apply nutrients throughout the field, whenever required. This market is projected to grow due to the adoption of efficient irrigation systems globally. The advantage of fertigation is that it requires less labor, time, energy, and water. This mode of application is gaining importance due to its reliability and efficacy. However, to get the desired results using this method, proper knowledge of the system and efficient management are required. Fertigation is used in fields of row crops, horticultural crops, fruit crops, vegetable crops, and ornamental & flowering crops. There has been a shift in farming practices toward holistic approaches that include both fertilizer and water application techniques, which is a key factor that is projected to drive the growth of this market in the next six years, particularly in North America and Europe.
The increasing demand for various crops in the Asia Pacific regions is driving the growth of the specialty fertilizers market.
The increasing agricultural practices and requirement of high-quality agricultural produce are factors that are projected to drive the nitrogenous fertilizers market growth in this region. Major crops produced in Asia include rice, sugar beet, fruits & vegetables, cereals, and grains; the region consumes 90% of the global rice produced. Asian countries, such as Korea, China, Japan, and recently Vietnam, are applying high levels of nitrogenous fertilizers per hectare for both short-term and perennial crops. Hence, the demand for specialty fertilizers is high in the region.
