Report Published: "Fertilizer Additives Market - Global Forecast to 2021"

Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 09/27/2016 --Fertilizer Additives Market by Function (Anticaking, Dedusting, Antifoaming, Hydrophobic, and corrosion Inhibitor), Application (Urea, Ammonium Nitrate, DAP, MAP, Ammonium Sulphate, and TSP), Form of Application, and Region - Global Forecast to 2021

The fertilizer additives market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.6% from 2016, to reach USD 2.91 billion by 2021. The market is driven by factors such as the increasing demand for fertilizers due to the increase in pressure on global food production and development in fertilizer manufacturing technologies. The high growth potential in emerging markets and untapped regions provide new growth opportunities for the players in the fertilizer additives market.

"Anticaking segment to dominate the fertilizer additives market"

Most fertilizers have a tendency to form lumps or agglomerates (caking) during storage. The severity of caking can be influenced by a number of factors, such as chemical composition, moisture content, particle structure, mechanical strength, hygroscopic properties, product temperature, ambient conditions, storage time, and storage pressure. Since most fertilizers are in granular, prilled, and powdered form, the anticaking agent segment dominated the market in 2015, and is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
