Top Facts You Didn’t Know About Nitrogenous Fertilizer market & Impact of COVID-19

Posted by Mrudula Karmarkar on August 17th, 2022

The global nitrogenous fertilizer market size is estimated to reach USD 94.02 billion by 2030 according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growth can be attributed to the increasing awareness amongst farmers regarding maintaining nutritional balance in the soil. Increasing population across the globe has generated the need to improve the annual crop yield to feed the population, which has boosted the agriculture sector across the globe. Hydrogen and nitrogen are the major raw materials used for manufacturing nitrogenous fertilizers. Nitrogen is required in large quantities by plants and is the primary nutrient in fertilizers. Hydrogen is a crucial component of ammonia, which is an important ingredient in numerous fertilizers. Nearly all commercial-scale ammonia incorporates nitrogen and hydrogen. Raw material Availability impacts nitrogenous fertilizer prices and production.

Key manufacturers are investing profoundly in R&D activities for launching new products and broadening their product portfolios. Major players in the market are increasing the reach of their products to a larger consumer base by setting up retail outlets at strategic locations in various countries to support farming communities in the respective localities. The Asia Pacific is expected to register significant growth in the coming years owing to the presence of numerous agrarian economies such as China, India, Indonesia, and others in the region. India and China are expected to lead the nitrogenous fertilizer market over the forecast period.

The growth is attributed to the increasing popularity of agriculture on a commercial level across the world. There has been a rising demand for nitrogenous fertilizers from the agriculture industry for providing appropriate nutrition to the various food crops, thereby improving their yield. Agricultural commodities including vegetables, fruits, cotton, and cereals are crucial areas of application for these fertilizers. The production capacity of the crops is broadly affected by variations in climatic conditions, thereby changing the supply and demand of crops according to different seasons. The fertilizers are crucial ingredients utilized in agricultural practice for enhancing crop growth. A large number of crops cultivated across the world use fertilizers.

Nitrogen is some of the crucial nutrients necessary for the growth of plants. It is naturally available in the atmosphere, although, very few plants are able to absorb it. Thus, it is synthetically supplied to the plants in the form of nitrogenous fertilizers. The product is offered in the global market in various forms including calcium ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate, ammonia, and others, with different proportions of the nutrient values. The aforementioned products help to regulate the growth of the plants for faster yield and also provide a better texture.

Nitrogenous Fertilizer Market Report Highlights 

• In 2021, urea emerged as the dominating product segment by contributing around 33% of revenue share. This is attributed to the affordable cost of urea as compared to the other products.
• Ammonium sulfate was the second-largest product segment and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% by 2030, due to its wide agricultural applications and high solubility.
• Cereals & grains segment was the dominant application segment in terms of both in terms of volume and revenue, owing to the increasing demand for food crops such as maize, wheat, barley, rice, and oats.
• As of 2021, Asia Pacific was the dominating regional market owing to the existence of large agricultural lands in the region along with the technological advancements in farming methods 

Hydrogen and nitrogen are the crucial raw materials utilized in the manufacturing process of the product. The primary nutrient used in the fertilizers is nitrogen, and plants require it in large quantities. It plays a significant role in the photosynthesis process, thereby allowing plants to produce their food by using sunlight. Also, it is necessary for nearly every aspect of plant physiology. Nitrogen deficiency in plants can lead to the development of yellow leaves and poor growth. However, a surplus quantity of nitrogen in the fertilizers can result in enormous vegetative growth in crops, at the expense of fruiting and flowering.

The players in the market are largely focusing on developing advanced nitrogenous fertilizers having sustainable qualities. Various factors having a huge impact on the growth of the market include manufacturing technology, product portfolio, regulatory approvals, and pricing. Local players in the market are majorly focusing on retaining their respective customers by offering customized services to the farmers.

Several manufacturers in the Asia Pacific region are also focusing on expanding their manufacturing capacities owing to the increasing adoption of agrochemicals in some countries including India and China. Players are inclined towards escalating investments for serving the increasing product demand all over the world.

For example, CF Industries Holdings, Inc. has declared a large investment of around USD 41.4 Million for enhancing nitric acid production at the biggest nitrogen fertilizer facility across the globe located in Donaldsonville, Louisiana.
