List of Tables

Specialty Fertilizers Market size is set to expand at 6.5% CAGR from 2023 to 2032 driven by the ongoing investments in R&D activities for the creation of innovative formulations.

The paradigm shift towards advanced farming practices is surging the demand for specialty fertilizers for enhancing agricultural efficiency and productivity and meeting the evolving needs of modern agricultural systems. Additionally, the influx of R&D initiatives is leading to breakthroughs in nutrient delivery systems for improving the efficiency of specialty fertilizers. To that end, the surging focus of industry participants on introducing improved formulations for offering farmers innovative solutions to address specific crop and soil needs will propel the industry growth. For instance, in June 2023, leading international specialized minerals business ICL announced the launch of its new range of cutting-edge foliar and fertigation treatments under its water-soluble Nova brand in North America.

The specialty fertilizers industry is segmented into application method, technology, crop type, type and region.

Based on application method, the market size is set to record appreciable growth from the soil segment between 2023 and 2032. Specialized fertilizers designed for soil application offer targeted nutrient delivery for enhancing plant development and optimizing crop yields. They are also formulated to address specific soil deficiencies, promoting nutrient uptake, and mitigating environmental impacts. Furthermore, the increasing adoption of precision farming techniques among farmers is fueling the acceptance of specialty fertilizers tailored for soil applications.

As per technology, the water-soluble specialty fertilizers industry is anticipated to gain significant traction between 2023 and 2032 due to higher adoption to provide efficient nutrient absorption for plants for ensuring targeted and immediate delivery. On account of its compatibility with irrigation systems, water-soluble fertilizers are increasingly deployed as efficient and sustainable fertilization solutions. Moreover, the rising uptake of modern agricultural practices, such as precision farming and greenhouse cultivation is likely to boost the product adoption.

Regionally, the Asia Pacific specialty fertilizers industry is set to exhibit robust growth through 2032 fueled by the burgeoning agriculture sector and the higher adoption of advanced farming practices. With several Asian economies investing in modernizing agricultural techniques, numerous market participants are expanding their production capacities to address the rising demand for specialty fertilizers. To cite an instance, in July 2023, Yara launched its first water-soluble fertilizer factory in China, to support its China-based strategy of offering sustainable solutions customized to local crops for assisting farmers in the nation and worldwide by increasing productivity and profitability. Moreover, the presence of supportive government initiatives for promoting sustainable agriculture practices will augment the regional industry outlook.
