The urea-ammonium nitrate (UAN) segment is projected to be the largest segment in the specialty fertilizers market during the forecast period.

UAN is considered to be an excellent irrigation fertilizer for cereal production and irrigated plant cultivation. It is basically used before plowing the field, which helps in enhancing its degradation. Solutions of urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) are widely used as a source of nitrogen for plant nutrition. In combination with plant protective agents, it is mixed in the irrigation water for irrigated plant cultivation. Fluid fertilizers are blended together to meet the specific needs of a crop.

The fertigation segment is estimated to account for the largest market share, in terms of value, in 2020.

Fertigation is used in the fields of row crops, horticultural crops, fruit crops, vegetable crops, and ornamental & flowering crops. The fertigation method allows the homogenous application of liquid specialty fertilizers in an adequate amount to the wetted zone in the root development, where most of the active roots are concentrated, which helps in enhancing the efficiency of specialty fertilizers. This technique allows specialty fertilizers to be distributed evenly in irrigation. The application of specialty fertilizers through fertigation increases its efficiency by 10%–15%, as compared to conventional fertilization.

The coated & encapsulated segment is projected to witness the fastest growth, in terms of value, in the specialty fertilizers market, on the basis of technology, from 2016 to 2025.

Coated & encapsulated specialty fertilizers are conventional soluble fertilizer materials with increasingly available nutrients, which after granulation, prilling, or crystallization, are given a protective (water-insoluble) coating to control the water penetration, thereby affecting the rate of dissolution and the nutrient release. To further reduce the total fertilizer costs, coated & encapsulated fertilizers are increasingly used with the blend of conventional fertilizers in different ratios. These fertilizers offer greater flexibility in determining the nutrient release pattern.

Asia Pacific accounted for the largest share; during the forecast period, in terms of volume and value, respectively. Increasing growth of high-value crops and rising awareness among farmers about the environmental benefits of controlled-release fertilizers are expected to provide more scope for market expansion. The government policies adopted by Asia Pacific countries and the large subsidies, sometimes up to 100% for marginal farmers, provided on fertilizers are the major factors triggering the growth of this market in the region. In North America region the demand for controlled-release fertilizers is expected to increase in the near future due to the shrinking arable land. Mexico, on the other hand, has the advantage of a warm climate; however, the relative arable land is significantly less than the others. Given the high prices of controlled release fertilizer, the market has remained popular in developed markets, with high disposable incomes and demand.

The coated and encapsulated segment by type is projected to achieve the fastest growth in the controlled release fertilizer market.

The coated & encapsulated segment accounted for the largest market share during the forecast period. An increase in the application of coated fertilizers for cultivating high-value crops has led to a surge in demand in developed countries. The need for predefined and patterned nutrient release in the case of high-value crops and horticulture triggered the development of polymer coatings in the market. The rate of the release of nutrients can be controlled by the composition and thickness of the polymer coating. The nutrient release is dependent on temperature and the moisture permeability of the polymer coating. The moisture permeability of the capsule can be controlled by changing the composition of the polymeric coating material used. Since it is not dependent on soil properties, the prediction of nutrient release at a given time is possible for polymer-coated fertilizers.

By mode of application, the fertigation segment is projected to account for the largest market share in the controlled release fertilizer market.

The controlled-release fertilizers market, in terms of application method, was dominated by fertigation. Owing to the increasing irrigated land, fertigation is highly preferred as a suitable application method adopted in both developed and developing countries across the globe for the application of these fertilizers. Also, the labor costs are reduced to a large extent through the adoption of these techniques. Hence, this segment is also projected to be the fastest-growing in the coming years. Though this technique allows uniform fertilizer application to some extent, newer and better technologies supporting precision farming practices can be developed. The combination of precision farming practices and controlled-release technology is expected to exhibit a synergistic relationship for the benefit of the global agricultural industry

The non agricultural sub-segment by end use is projected to account for the largest market share of the controlled release fertilizer market over the forecast period.

The non-agriculture segment is projected to account for the largest share. The growth in purchasing power and the rising environmental issues have led to an increase in the demand for CRFs in non-agricultural.

Controlled-release fertilizers help improve the use efficiency (UE) of nutrients and reduce environmental pollution. The application of controlled-release fertilizers is usually on turf & ornamentals, cereals & grains crops such as rice, corn, and wheat. Due to the high price of controlled-release fertilizers, their use is mainly restricted to high-value crops and non-agricultural crops
