Liquid Fertilizers Global Market Report 2026

Liquid fertilizers play a crucial role in enhancing both the quality and quantity of plant growth. These fertilizers consist of soluble chemicals that can be directly sprayed on crops or plants, or injected into the soil under pressure. They find extensive use in crop nutrition activities across a diverse range of crops.

The primary categories of liquid fertilizers include nitrogen, micronutrients, potassium, and phosphate. Liquid nitrogen fertilizers, favored by farmers for their cost-effectiveness compared to granulated alternatives, are easily handled and can be evenly distributed across fields. The production processes for liquid fertilizers encompass both organic and inorganic methods. Various crop types, including cereals and grains, oilseeds, fruits, and pulses, benefit from liquid fertilizers applied through soil, fertigation, or foliar methods.

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 influencing the liquid fertilizers market by increasing costs of imported nutrient inputs, chemical intermediates, storage tanks, and application equipment. Agricultural regions in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported fertilizer components, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on export-oriented production. These tariffs are elevating input costs for farmers and distributors. At the same time, they are encouraging domestic fertilizer manufacturing, localized blending facilities, and innovation in alternative nutrient formulations.

The liquid fertilizers market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $9.76 billion in 2025 to $10.8 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing fertilizer consumption per hectare, expansion of irrigated agriculture, rising awareness of balanced crop nutrition, growth of commercial farming operations, availability of liquid fertilizer application equipment.

The liquid fertilizers market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $16.03 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of smart farming practices, rising demand for high-efficiency fertilizers, expansion of sustainable agriculture methods, growing focus on yield optimization, increasing integration of digital crop advisory tools. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of precision nutrient management, rising use of fertigation-based applications, growing demand for micronutrient-enriched liquids, expansion of foliar nutrition practices, enhanced focus on crop-specific formulations.

The increasing population is expected to drive the growth of the liquid fertilizers market. Population growth, defined as a rise in the total number of people in a specific area, region, or country, increases the demand for food and agricultural output. Liquid fertilizers support higher productivity, improve crop quality, and reduce the environmental impact of farming, helping to meet the nutritional needs of a growing global population. For example, in September 2025, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based authority, reported that the UK population reached an estimated 69.3 million by mid-2024, increasing by 755,300 people (1.1%) from mid-2023. Population growth was faster in England (1.2%) than in Scotland (0.7%), Wales (0.6%), or Northern Ireland (0.4%). Therefore, the rising population is driving the liquid fertilizers market.

Major companies in the liquid fertilizers market emphasize product innovation, such as water-soluble micronutrients and N-P-K fertilizers, to improve crop nutrient availability and application efficiency. Water-soluble micronutrients and N-P-K fertilizers are crucial for plant nutrition, with the former supplying essential trace elements and the latter providing primary macronutrients necessary for optimal crop growth. For instance, in June 2023, ICL Group Ltd., a specialty chemicals and minerals company based in Israel, launched a new range of advanced foliar and fertigation solutions under their Nova brand of water-soluble fertilizers in North America, which includes both water-soluble micronutrients and N-P-K fertilizers. Key products in this line include Nova FINISH, Nova PULSE, Nova ELEVATE, and Nova FLOW. These products are meticulously designed to enhance solubility and ensure a high level of compatibility with most herbicides and crop protectants while effectively delivering high-purity, water-soluble N-P-Ks and micronutrients tailored to the nutrient requirements of crops.
