Specialty Fertilizers Market

According to MarketsandMarkets, the global specialty fertilizers market size is estimated to be valued at USD 24.3 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 33.7 billion by 2027, recording a CAGR of 6.8% in terms of value. The market for specialty fertilizers has seen significant growth due to the comparatively lower effectiveness of conventional fertilizers and the need to boost crop productivity. Their use can help push nutrient use efficiency (NUE) and reduce the environmental damage caused by chemical fertilization and the improper disposal/reuse of agricultural waste. The agricultural and environmental benefits associated with these fertilizers are the major factors contributing to the growth of this market globally.

The key players in this market include Nutrien Ltd. (Canada), Yara (Norway), ICL (Israel), The Mosaic Company (US), CF Industries and Holdings, Inc. (US), Nufarm (Australia), SQM SA (Chile), OCP Group (Morocco), Kingenta (China), K+S Aktiengesellschaft (Germany), OCI Nitrogen (Netherlands), EuroChem (Switzerland), Coromandel International Limited (India), Zuari Agro Chemicals Ltd. (India), and Deepak Fertilizers and Petrochemicals Corporation Limited (India)
