[198 Pages Report] The Controlled-Release Fertilizers Market size was estimated at USD 2.31 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 2.44 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 6.09% to reach USD 3.49 billion by 2030.
The controlled-release fertilizers market focuses on the production, distribution, and application of advanced fertilizer technologies that gradually release nutrients over an extended period. These fertilizers improve crop yield, efficiency, and sustainability while catering to various end-use sectors such as agriculture, horticulture, turf & ornamentals, and specialty applications such as nurseries and greenhouses. The need for sustainable agricultural practices primarily drives market growth due to increasing population growth and decreasing arable land. Key factors contributing to this market development include growing global demand for highly efficient fertilizers, increasing need for high-value crops, and supportive government subsidies. Challenges include compatibility issues with certain crops or soil types, and counterfeit and less efficient products’ availability hamper market growth. In addition, continuous product innovations in controlled-release technology and exploring synergies with precision agriculture techniques or other advanced farming methods are expected to create added value for customers by optimizing nutrient use efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing overall crop performance. Moreover, vendors are focused on areas of innovation and research, such as developing new formulations catering to a wider range of crop types or soils, investing in R&D for environmentally friendly materials used in designing advanced fertilizer coatings that minimize nutrient losses, and collaborating with agencies or institutions promoting capacity-building initiatives aimed at educating farmers on controlled-release fertilizers’ benefits.
