Nitrogenous water-soluble fertilizer is a type of fertilizer that contains nitrogen in a form that easily dissolves in water. These fertilizers can be directly applied to plants via drip irrigation or foliar application, enhancing nutrient utilization efficiency. They offer advantages over traditional fertilizers, leading to improved yields and better availability of soil nutrients for plants.
The primary types in the nitrogenous water-soluble fertilizer market include macroelement WSF, microelement WSF, and other variations. Macroelement WSF consists of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and additional trace elements, available in liquid or solid forms. These fertilizers cater to various crop types such as field crops, horticultural crops, turf, ornamentals, and others. They are available in both dry and liquid forms for application through foliar spraying and fertigation 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 nitrogenous water soluble fertilizer market by increasing costs of imported nitrogen compounds, processing equipment, and specialty blending inputs. Agricultural producers in Asia-Pacific and Latin America are most affected due to dependence on imported raw materials, while Europe faces higher prices for specialty formulations. These tariffs are increasing input costs for farmers and distributors. However, they are also encouraging domestic fertilizer production, regional blending facilities, and innovation in efficient nitrogen formulations.
The nitrogenous water soluble fertilizer market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides nitrogenous water soluble fertilizer market statistics, including nitrogenous water soluble fertilizer industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a nitrogenous water soluble fertilizer market share, detailed nitrogenous water soluble fertilizer market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the nitrogenous water soluble fertilizer industry. This nitrogenous water soluble fertilizer 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 nitrogenous water soluble fertilizer market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $68.69 billion in 2025 to $73.41 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of high-value crop cultivation, expansion of drip irrigation systems, increasing fertilizer efficiency awareness, rising adoption of soluble fertilizers, availability of nitrogen-based nutrient formulations.
The nitrogenous water soluble fertilizer market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $96.42 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of precision agriculture technologies, rising focus on sustainable nutrient application, expansion of greenhouse farming, growing demand for high-yield crop solutions, integration of smart fertigation systems. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of fertigation practices, rising demand for precision nutrient management, growing use of water-soluble fertilizers in horticulture, expansion of controlled nutrient delivery systems, enhanced focus on nitrogen use efficiency.
The increasing demand for organic farming is expected to drive the growth of the nitrogenous water-soluble fertilizer market. Organic farming emphasizes sustainable, environmentally friendly practices and avoids the use of GMOs and synthetic additives. Nitrogenous water-soluble fertilizers support organic farming by providing rapid nutrient availability, improved uptake, enhanced crop yield and quality, reduced soil salinity risk, and optimized nutrient management and photosynthetic activity. For instance, in February 2024, according to IFOAM (International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements), a Germany-based international organization, the global area under organic farming expanded by 2.5 million hectares in 2023, reaching nearly 99 million hectares, while global organic food sales rose to approximately €136 billion that same year. Therefore, the increasing demand for organic farming is driving the growth of the nitrogenous water-soluble fertilizer market.
Major companies in the nitrogenous water-soluble fertilizer market are focusing on innovative products, such as next-generation water-soluble fertilizers, to boost market revenues. These fertilizers dissolve quickly in water, delivering balanced nitrogen content to promote vegetative growth, protein synthesis, and crop yield. For example, in October 2023, ICL Group Ltd., an Israel-based fertilizer manufacturer, launched the water-soluble NPK products Nova Pulse, Nova Finish, Nova Elevate, and Nova Flow. These fertilizers provide crop-specific micronutrients, maximize solubility, ensure compatibility, reduce nutrient deficits, and can be applied directly without clogging nozzles, improving plant health and stress resilience.
In September 2024, CropX, an Israel-based agrotech solutions firm, acquired EnGeniousAg for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enhances CropX's capabilities in precise nitrogen management, aiming to reduce the excessive use of nitrogen-based fertilizers, which are typically water-soluble. By incorporating EnGeniousAg's sensors into its platform, CropX aims to promote more efficient and sustainable nitrogen fertilizer usage, supporting its overarching goals of boosting crop yields while minimizing environmental issues such as water contamination. EnGeniousAg is a U.S.-based startup known for designing, manufacturing, and deploying affordable, high-performance nutrient sensors for monitoring crops, soils, and water.
