Opportunities: Growing nutrient deficiency and rising importance of specialty nutrients
The growing traction of specialty plant nutrition products, such as potassium nitrate, reflected on their global consumption has more than doubled over the last decade, whereas the growth rates of other alternatives, such as commodity fertilizers, are more moderate. The impressive growth rate of specialty plant nutrition products is attributed to the following factors:
- Fertilizers improve the agricultural yield, which ensures maximum nutrition for plant growth
- The nutritional content of the soil increases with the inclusion of specialty fertilizers, such as bulk fertilizers, micronutrient fertilizers, fortified fertilizers, and specialty fertilizers
Challenges: Limited adoption of controlled-release technology
Limited awareness of the advantages of CRF with respect to application cost and environmental concerns is a major factor that is projected to significantly contribute to the growth of the specialty fertilizers market. The major factor that has led to the low rate of adoption of this technology is the established conventional fertilizers market, as the demand for conventional fertilizers among farmers remains high due to their belief in high crop returns. Though there is a high impact on the long-term cost associated with the application of fertilizers, the initial cost to be invested by farmers is significantly high, which discourages farmers from adopting this technology.
South America is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
The market for specialty fertilizers in the South America region is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2020 to 2025. According to FAOSTAT, Brazil is the largest producer of agricultural products due to the availability of abundant land and rural labor force, followed by Argentina. The growth in South America is majorly attributed to the increase in the adoption of agrochemicals and advancements in farming techniques in Brazil and Argentina with distribution channels established by global agrochemical players. Due to these factors, the market in the South America region is projected to record the highest growth from 2020 to 2025.
