Boron (B) fertilizer is a category of fertilizer that incorporates boron as a primary micronutrient to address boron deficiencies in soils, promoting improved plant growth and health. Its application is crucial for controlling plant hormone levels and fostering the overall well-being of plants.
The main types of boron fertilizers include boric acid, borax, boron calcium nitrate, boron humate, and others. Boric acid is a crystalline acid characterized by the formula B(OH)3. Boron fertilizers find application in various crop types, including cereals and grains, fruits and vegetables, oilseeds and pulses, among others. These fertilizers can be applied through methods such as foliar spray, soil treatment, and fertigation. The end uses of boron fertilizers span across agriculture, horticulture, floriculture, and other related sectors.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are impacting the boron fertilizers market by increasing costs of imported boron minerals, chemical processing inputs, formulation equipment, and packaging materials. Agricultural markets in Asia-Pacific and Europe are most affected due to dependence on imported boron sources, while North America faces higher input costs for specialty formulations. These tariffs are influencing fertilizer pricing and farmer adoption rates. However, they are also supporting domestic processing, regional sourcing of boron inputs, and innovation in efficient micronutrient fertilizer formulations.
The boron fertilizers market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides boron fertilizers market statistics, including boron fertilizers industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a boron fertilizers market share, detailed boron fertilizers market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the boron fertilizers industry. This boron fertilizers market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The boron fertilizers market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.18 billion in 2025 to $3.46 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing incidence of boron-deficient soils, growth of intensive farming practices, rising awareness of micronutrient deficiencies, expansion of high-value crop cultivation, availability of boron-based fertilizer products.
The boron fertilizers market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.82 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of precision agriculture practices, increasing adoption of micronutrient fertilization, rising demand for yield optimization, growing investments in soil testing technologies, increasing focus on sustainable nutrient management. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of micronutrient-enriched fertilizers, rising use of foliar boron applications, growing demand for crop-specific nutrient management, expansion of soil health improvement practices, enhanced focus on balanced plant nutrition.
The rising production of fruits and vegetables is expected to fuel the growth of the boron fertilizers market going forward. Fruits are the sweet or sour seed-bearing parts of plants that can be consumed raw, while vegetables are edible plant components. Boron plays a critical role in protein synthesis, seed and cell wall formation, pollen germination, pollen tube growth, fruit set, and overall yield. It also supports glucose metabolism and sugar translocation. As a result, increasing fruit and vegetable production is expected to drive demand for boron fertilizers. For example, in July 2025, according to Statistics Canada, a Canada-based government agency, Canada's field vegetable production surpassed 2.3 million metric tons in 2024, representing a 2.5% increase compared to 2023. Therefore, the rising production of fruits and vegetables is propelling the boron fertilizers market.
Leading companies in the boron fertilizer market are concentrating on creating innovative solutions, such as diammonium phosphate (DAP) fertilizer, to boost agricultural productivity and tackle nutrient deficiencies in the soil. Diammonium phosphate (DAP) fertilizer is a commonly used chemical fertilizer that provides two essential plant nutrients: nitrogen and phosphorus. For example, on April 23, 2024, Fauji Fertilizer Company Limited, a chemical manufacturing firm based in Pakistan, introduced Sona Boron DAP, the country's first value-added diammonium phosphate fertilizer. This groundbreaking product contains a nutrient composition of 18% nitrogen, 46% phosphorus, and 0.1% boron, specifically addressing the significant boron deficiency present in around 60% of Pakistan's soils. Sona Boron DAP is designed to improve crop yields by 10-23% and is suitable for use through fertigation during the later stages of plant growth.
In January 2023, Nouryon, a Netherlands-based specialty chemicals company, acquired ADOB for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Nouryon aims to expand its crop nutrition portfolio, strengthen product innovation capabilities, and reinforce its position in the agricultural solutions market. ADOB is a U.S.-based company specializing in advanced crop nutrition technologies designed to enhance plant health, increase yields, and support sustainable agricultural practices.
