The impact of COVID-19 pandemic on specialty fertilizers market has been minimal, mainly due to transportation barriers. Most of the companies are running their operations smoothly from May2020 in many regions due to government relaxation measures. However, the import of fertilizers  from different countries is still delayed in some south Asian countries due to extended lockdowns. Companies have inventories sufficient only for few months, so further delay in supply might turn out to be a loss to them especially during sowing period.

Challenges: Limited adoption of controlled-release technology

Limited awareness of the advantages of CRF with respect to application cost and environmental concerns is a major factor that is projected to significantly contribute to the growth of the specialty fertilizers market. The major factor that has led to the low rate of adoption of this technology is the established conventional fertilizers market, as the demand for conventional fertilizers among farmers remains high due to their belief in high crop returns. Though there is a high impact on the long-term cost associated with the application of fertilizers, the initial cost to be invested by farmers is significantly high, which discourages farmers from adopting this technology.

Driver: The need for high-efficiency fertilizers

Nutrient losses can occur in many ways, such as leaching, runoff, atmospheric losses, and direct loss. These nutrient losses will have an extensive impact on the environment. These nutrient losses into the water trigger eutrophication on the surfaces of water bodies, which, in turn, ruins the aquatic ecosystem. Specialty fertilizers are an easy and efficient way to supply household or garden plants with nutrients on a regular basis. The ultimate goal of adding specialty fertilizers to the soil is to supply the requisite amount of nutrients to crops and prevent the toxification of soil due to over-fertilization.

By crop type, the fruits & vegetables segment is projected to be the fastest-growing segment in the market during the forecast period.

The trend of consuming fruits has witnessed a growth in the past two decades, and this trend is projected to continue in the coming years. According to the FAO, China is the largest producer of fresh fruits and vegetables, which has surpassed the production and growth in the US and India in 2018. The increasing exports of fruits & vegetables have also led to an increase in the crop plantation area, which has resulted in a rise in their production levels. Hence, the crop protection chemicals market for fruits & vegetables is projected to witness significant growth. This, in turn, is projected to drive the market.
