Driver: Growth in demand for
enhanced high-efficiency fertilizers
Enhanced, efficient application
of liquid fertilizers ensures that crops and plants receive nutrients in an
amount that is required at the right time and at the right place, with minimum
wastage. Enhanced efficiency fertilizers (EEF) are growing substantially in the
agriculture industry in various fields such as cereals and industrial crops, as
a result of the emergence of new urease inhibitors and inexpensive polymer
coating technologies. Such application of enhanced efficiency fertilizers also
helps in reducing the negative impact of nutrients by way of leaching into
water reservoirs.
Restraint: High handling costs
One of the major restraints in
the growth of the liquid fertilizers market is the high storage cost of liquid
fertilizers, along with the high cost of installation. Liquid fertilizers are
water-soluble. The cost of mixing the nutrients in the water is high, and so is
the cost of transportation, as fertilizers in the liquid form require
distinctive handling and storage facilities. This is hindering the growth of
the market around the globe, especially in regions such as Africa and the
Middle East due to the lack of awareness about the application of liquid
fertilizers.
By major compounds, the calcium
ammonium nitrate (CAN) segment to be the fastest-growing segment in the market
during the forecast period.
Calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN)
is the most widely used nitrogen fertilizer due to its relatively high nutrient
content and physical properties, such as high solubility, which helps in
quickly dissolving into the soil. It contains calcium and magnesium, which help
in improving the efficiency of absorbing nitrogen by the roots and reduce
nitrogen losses, making the fertilization more profitable; this also protects
subsoil waters against pollution by nitrogen compounds. CAN is used more in the
case of acidic soils as it does not further acidify the soil. It is majorly
used for wheat, barley, fruits, and vegetables. Increasing adoption of drip and
sprinkler irrigation is projected to increase the demand for CAN fertilizers
during the forecast period.
By mode of application, the
fertigation segment is projected to be the fastest-growing segment in the
liquid fertilizers market during the forecast period.
Fertigation is an agricultural
technique, which includes water and fertilizer application through irrigation.
This process provides an opportunity to maximize the yield and minimize
environmental pollution. Moreover, through fertigation, a farmer can uniformly
apply nutrients throughout the field, whenever required. This market is
projected to grow due to the adoption of efficient irrigation systems globally.
The advantage of fertigation is
that it requires less labor, time, energy, and water. This mode of application
is gaining importance due to its reliability and efficacy. However, to get the
desired results using this method, proper knowledge of the system and efficient
management are required. Fertigation is used in fields of row crops,
horticultural crops, fruit crops, vegetable crops, and ornamental &
flowering crops. There has been a shift in farming practices toward holistic
approaches that include both fertilizer and water application techniques, which
is a key factor that is projected to drive the growth of this market in the
next five years, particularly in North America and Europe.

South America is projected to
grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
The market for liquid
fertilizers in the South America region is projected to grow at the highest
CAGR from 2020 to 2025. According to FAOSTAT, Brazil is the largest producer of
agricultural products due to the availability of abundant land and rural labor
force, followed by Argentina. The growth in South America is majorly attributed
to by the increase in the adoption of agrochemicals and advancements in farming
techniques in Brazil and Argentina with distribution channels established by
global agrochemical players. Due to these factors, the market in the South
America region is projected to record the highest growth from 2020 to 2025.
