The global chelated iron micronutrient market recorded a value of US$ 51.4 Mn in 2015, up from US$ 34.7 Mn in 2014.

New York, NY -- (SBWire) -- 11/16/2016 --The market is estimated to expand moderately at a CAGR of 6.8% over the forecast period, 2015-2020. Chelated iron market accounted for 9,037.7 Kg in 2014, in terms of volume. The volume is expected to reach 12,194.5 Kg by 2020 end, at a CAGR of 5.3%.

Burgeoning global population and rising demand for high quality food will continue to fuel the market for crop micronutrients, as they enhance the nutritional levels of crop plants. Several government subsidies involving renounced fertilizer prices for farmers are anticipated to boost the demand for chelated micronutrients for crops. Chelated micronutrients are critical to plants' physiological and biochemical processes, among which plants need iron in the maximum quantity. Chelated iron micronutrients will thus continue to gain traction for enhanced plant growth and development.

Growing awareness about beneficial attributes of iron chelates is expected to further drive their demand. Chelated iron, in addition to catalysing chlorophyll formation, aids mineral absorption, and excess nitrate and sulfate reduction. Moreover, it supports a few of the plants' enzyme and respiratory systems, and plays a key role in streamlining the functioning of symbiotic N2-fixing microbes. These characteristics of iron chelates will remain the key drivers popularizing them in the global market.

Furthermore, the market witnesses steady demand for chelated iron micronutrients, owing to higher probability of iron deficient crops, of acquiring chlorosis. Modern agriculture practices involve mixing of chelated micronutrients with fertilizers in order that soils are supplemented with sufficient amount of minerals. This has been playing a major factor positively influencing the market growth. Emerging markets for chelated iron are increasingly adopting upgraded farming that involves enriching soils with micronutrient-rich fertilizers. This is expected to remain a prominent factor fuelling the demand for iron chelates in developing markets.

The demand-supply ratio is however uneven due to expensive prices of chelated micronutrient-based products and volatile economic conditions of markets worldwide. This has been a longstanding challenge to robust market growth. In addition, an inefficient supply chain may pose a major restrain to overall market dynamics.
