The Middle East phosphate fertilizer market size was estimated at USD 1,232.5 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 2029.0 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2025 to 2033. The market is characterized by a combination of resource abundance and rising agricultural demand.
The region's dynamics are shaped by the presence of major phosphate rock producers such as Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Tunisia, alongside consumer markets driven by food security policies and the expansion of high-value crop cultivation. Governments are increasingly integrating fertilizer strategies into broader agricultural and economic diversification agendas, making phosphate fertilizers strategically important in both local consumption and export flows.
Saudi Arabia plays a pivotal role as the region's anchor market due to its vertically integrated phosphate industry and strong government backing, which allows it to influence supply security and regional trade flows. Israel, while smaller in scale, demonstrates strong demand in specialty applications, with phosphate-based fertilizers used intensively in horticulture and high-value crop cultivation. In contrast, GCC countries such as the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain have relatively modest agricultural bases, but their controlled-environment farming, landscaping, and food security initiatives still sustain consistent fertilizer demand. Product preference across the region leans toward MAP and DAP, given their balanced nutrient composition, with TSP and SSP serving cost-sensitive and soil-specific needs.
Growth prospects are uneven but promising in selected markets. Tunisia and Jordan are focused on revitalizing and expanding phosphate production to increase exports and meet rising domestic requirements, while Saudi Arabia continues to invest in integrated projects that strengthen its global presence. Demand trends will be shaped by policies promoting food self-sufficiency, infrastructure for logistics and trade, and investment in value-added fertilizers for higher efficiency. As regional agriculture modernizes, opportunities exist not only in bulk fertilizers but also in specialized blends for high-value crops, positioning the Middle East as both a key producer and evolving consumer of phosphate fertilizers.
