Dubai, United Arab Emirates -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/17/2020 -- The fertilizer additives market is expected to display a moderate growth rate of 3.2% CAGR between the forecast years from 2020 to 2030. The high reliance of the industry on supplies coming out of China, and lockdown restrictions on additive production in the region create supply chain delays. In addition, the growing popularity of organic and natural fertilizers is also expected to restrain market growth in the long term.

"Growing concerns internationally about the security of food supplies and the increased demand for greater agricultural yields are propelling demands for key nutrients such as nitrates and phosphates for better fertilizer quality and shelf life, which is critical for the increased demand for fertilizer additives in the years to come," says the Fact.MR report.

Fertilizer Additives Market - Takeaways

Anti-caking, followed by anti-dusting additives are highly sought after in the fertilizer industry, to improve shelf life, and minimize product degradation during storage and transportation.

Applications in ammonium nitrate fertilizers is projected to reflect a relatively higher rate of growth, supported by low cost and superior nutrition profiles in comparison to other nitrogenous fertilizer alternatives.

Fertilizer additives to be mixed during fertilizer formulation processes are expected to reflect higher demand, with larger investments from fertilizer manufacturers.

Asia Pacific excluding Japan is a key regional market for fertilizer additives, led largely by the vast agrarian economies of India and China, which will drive demand for fertilizers and additives for the foreseeable future.

Fertilizer Additives Market - Drivers

Improvements in modern fertilizer additives aid in increasing the lifespan of the soil, without replacement of essential constituents, supporting demand in the long term.

Favorable government policies towards agriculture, and initiatives towards food security will aid long term prospects in the fertilizer additives market.

The steady decrease in per capita of arable land in most parts of the world, coupled with efforts towards the standardization of agricultural materials and processes will support the market.

Fertilizer Additives Market - Constraints

Risks of toxicity and environmental damage from application of conventional synthetic fertilizers is a key obstacle holding back players in the fertilizer additives market.
Saturation in matured western markets, coupled with an intensely competitive market landscape, reduces profit margins for manufacturers.
Anticipated Market Impact by Coronavirus Outbreak

The global agrochemicals sector has been negatively impacted by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Producers are facing challenges owing to disruptions in the supplies of raw materials. In addition, China, the epicenter of the pandemic is a major fertilizer additive and raw material production center. Consequently, the global industry is likely to face delays in delivery schedules.

On the other hand, food security concerns have resulted in many governments relaxing regulations associated to fertilizer production, which will help market players to partially mitigate the risk of losses during this period.

The market is expected to reflect gradual recovery in the months to come through 2021, as organized agriculture gets back on track, and farming bodies take measures to reduce harvest problems arising with the labor shortage during the pandemic.
