Zinc Agriculture Micronutrients Market

This research study involved the extensive use of secondary sources—directories and databases such as Bloomberg Businessweek and Factiva—to identify and collect information useful for a technical, market-oriented, and commercial study of the agricultural micronutrient market. In-depth interviews were conducted with various primary respondents—such as key industry participants, subject matter experts (SMEs), C-level executives of key market players, and industry consultants—to obtain and verify critical qualitative and quantitative information as well as to assess prospects.

Secondary Research

The secondary sources referred for this research study include government sources, such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), International Fertilizer Association (IFA), Micronutrient Manufacturers Association (MMA), the ministries of the agricultural department in various countries, corporate filings (such as annual reports, press releases, investor presentations, and financial statements), and trade, business, and professional associations. The secondary data was collected and analyzed to arrive at the overall market size, which was further validated by primary research and manufacturers' annual reports, press releases & investor presentations of companies, white papers, food journals, certified publications, articles from recognized authors, gold & silver standard websites, regulatory bodies, trade directories, and paid databases.

Secondary research was used to obtain key information about the industry’s supply chain, the total pool of key players, and market classification and segmentation according to industry trends to the bottom-most level, regional markets, and key developments from both market and technology-oriented perspectives. The secondary data was collected and analyzed to arrive at the overall market size, which was further validated by primary research. It was also used to obtain information on the key developments from a market-oriented perspective.

Primary Research

The Zinc Agriculture Micronutrients Market comprises multiple stakeholders, including raw material suppliers, and regulatory organizations in the supply chain. Various primary sources from the supply and demand sides of the market were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information. Primary interviewees from the supply side include research institutions involved in R&D to introduce to the manufacturers, and importers & exporters of agricultural micronutrients from the demand side including distributors, wholesalers, and key opinion leaders through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews.

Market Size Estimation

Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were used to estimate and validate the total size of the Zinc Agriculture Micronutrients Market . These approaches were also used extensively to estimate the size of various dependent submarkets.

The following figure represents the overall market size estimation process employed for the purpose of this study.

Bottom-Up Approach

Through the bottom-up approach, the data extracted from secondary research was utilized to validate the market segment sizes obtained. The approach was employed to arrive at the overall size of the Zinc Agriculture Micronutrients Market in particular regions, and its share in the market was validated through primary interviews conducted with fungicide manufacturers, suppliers, dealers, and distributors.

With the data triangulation procedure and validation of data through primaries, the overall size of the parent market and each segmental market were determined.

Top-Down Approach

For the estimation of the Zinc Agriculture Micronutrients Market , the size of the most appropriate immediate parent market was considered to implement the top-down approach. For the Zinc Agriculture Micronutrients Market , the specialty fertilizers market was considered as the parent market to arrive at the market size, which was again used to estimate the size of individual markets (mentioned in the market segmentation) through percentage shares arrived from secondary and primary research.

Data Triangulation

After arriving at the overall market size from the estimation process explained above, the total market was split into several segments and subsegments. To estimate the overall agricultural micronutrient market and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and subsegments, the data triangulation and market breakdown procedures were employed, wherever applicable. The data was triangulated by studying various factors and trends from the demand and supply sides.

Market Definition

Agricultural micronutrients can be defined as nutrients required in small amounts, which are necessary for plant growth. Due to their requirement in limited quantities, micronutrients are also known as trace elements. These micronutrients, also known as trace elements, play a crucial role in various physiological processes within plants, including enzyme activation, photosynthesis, and nutrient uptake. The primary agricultural micronutrients include iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), and boron (B).
