“By nutrient type, nitrogenous fertilizers segment to hold the largest marketshare between 2020 and 2025.”

Nitrogenous fertilizers contain nitrogen in ammonia, ammonium nitrate, nitrate, and amide forms. Nitrate form is required by most crop plants, while paddy requires nitrogen in ammonical form. Nitrate fertilizers are readily soluble in water and are quickly available for plant uptake. Amide fertilizers include urea, which containsa high nitrogen level and is used for acidifying soils. Nitrogenous fertilizers are an effective means of increasing crop productivity, especially in irrigated agriculture, where the soils do not contain enough nitrogen.

“By crop type, cereals & grains segment to hold the largest market share during the forecast period.”

Wheat and other cereal crops are consumed as a major staple food across the world. According to the FAO, ~60% of the corn cultivated across the globe was used as feed in 2016.

New rice export contracts have been suspended in Vietnam, while the lockdown in India, the world’s leading rice exporter, has severely curtailed shipments. Furthermore, the panic shopping seen at the outbreak of the pandemic is likely to have receded following a build-up of household stocks of cereals & grains, which could also ease localized demand pressures.

“Asia Pacific expected to hold the largest share of the NPK fertilizers market during the forecast period.”

Asia Pacific is estimated to account for the largest share of the NPK fertilizers market during the forecast period. According to the FAO, in 2018, the Asia Pacific region was the largest consumer of fertilizers in the world. The share of Asia in world consumption of nitrogen is 62.1%, phosphate 57.6%, and potash 46.4%. Additionally, agricultural technologies are widely accepted and practiced in this region.
