Growth Strategies Adopted by Major Players in Controlled Release Fertilizer Market

The global controlled release fertilizer market size is projected to grow from USD 2.4 Billion in 2021 to USD 3.3 Billion by 2026, recording a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4% during the forecast period. The rise in the global population, growing application rates in developing countries, and rising demand for high-value crops are key factors that are projected to drive the growth of the controlled release fertilizer market during the forecast period.

Driver: Necessity for highly efficient fertilizers

Nutrient loss to the environment is one of the major concerns faced by farmers across the world. Heavily fertilized crops such as corn tend to have large losses relative to non-intensive uses such as pasture. Agricultural uses associated with poor land management practices that lead to erosion also produce significant nutrient losses. Nutrient losses can occur in many ways, which can have an extensive impact on the environment.

Atmospheric losses: Nutrients can be lost to the atmosphere through chemical and biological processes, wherein volatile nutrients can be easily lost as gases when exposed to the atmosphere.

Direct loss: Direct or incidental loss is the loss of fertilizer or manure to water before interacting significantly with soil. It can result from over-application, heavy rainfall immediately following application, or application directly into a waterway (including ditches).

Runoff: Runoff occurs when rainfall or snowmelt exceeds the infiltration rate of the soil. Runoff carries away the dissolved nutrients into the nearby water bodies.

Leaching: Leaching is the downward movement of water and soluble substances in the soil below the root zone. It is an environmental concern as it contributes to groundwater contamination.

The coated and encapsulated subsegment in the by type segment is estimated to account for the largest market share in the controlled release fertilizer market.

The coated and encapsulated segment is estimated to dominate the controlled release fertilizer market. The adoption of these fertilizers has been increasing continuously in the global market, due to the growing awareness about the benefits associated with coated fertilizers and government support provided by the nation in terms of subsidies and policy amendment. Such government policies and well-defined regulations act as a boosting factor for the growth of this market at the global level.

The fertigation subsegment in the application segment is projected to account for the fastest growth during the forecast period.

This is mainly driven by factors such as enhanced productivity and better yields. This mode of application is gaining importance due to its reliability and efficacy. Fertigation mode of application also reduces the application cost by 29% to 78% due to improved efficiency. Fertigation is a technique that has been adopted by major countries, wherein the fertilizer is included with irrigation water and applied through systems. This technique witnesses better application than broadcasting and subsurface placement.
