The global controlled release fertilizer market size reached US$ 2.9 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 4.2 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.99% during 2023-2028.
Controlled-release fertilizers (CRFs) are granular fertilizers that release nutrients into the soil gradually. They increase the efficiency of nutrient delivery to crops while lowering environmental and health risks, which is useful in agriculture, horticulture, and silviculture. They can also reduce labor costs by eliminating the need to combine and monitor water-soluble fertilizers and limiting the use of expensive injection equipment. Apart from this, they are time-saving and easy to use and offer several other advantages, such as optimal plant development and minimum fertilizer losses.
Due to the surging food and crop demand, there is a rise in the utilization of CRFs across the globe. This, along with the reducing per capita share of fertile land due to a lack of nutrients in the soil, represents one of the key factors driving the market. Additionally, a significant decrease in the arable land on account of the rising global population is propelling the growth of the market. Moreover, there is an increase in the employment of CRFs to improve soil properties and enhance land productivity. This, coupled with the growing focus of agriculturists and farmers on adopting sustainable agricultural practices due to the shortage of food crops and adverse climatic conditions, is positively influencing the market. Besides this, the escalating demand for CRFs in turfgrass production to prevent nitrate deficiency that may lead to yellowing of the grass and loss of vigor, is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Furthermore, key market players are extensively investing in research and development (R&D) activities to develop advanced technologies like inverse suspension polymerization for the slow release of fertilizers, which is projected to increase their overall sales.
