Nitrogenous fertilizers are chemical compounds that contain nitrogen, which is an important nutrient for plant growth. They are mainly used to improve agricultural productivity by increasing soil fertility and improving crop yield. The common types include urea, ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate, and calcium ammonium nitrate, which are extensively applied across cereals, oilseeds, fruits, and vegetables. The increasing demand for food globally, driven by a growing population and shrinking arable land, has been the main driver of the market for nitrogenous fertilizers. Improvements in agricultural practices and the increased adoption of precision farming techniques have also increased the demand for these fertilizers. In addition, government initiatives and subsidies to encourage the use of fertilizers to increase crop output have contributed significantly to market growth. The expansion of bio-based fertilizers also provides growth opportunities as it addresses the environmental concerns associated with conventional fertilizers. However, the market is facing several challenges, such as stringent environmental regulations regarding nitrogen emissions and the overuse of fertilizers, which leads to soil degradation and water contamination.

The urea segment is predicted to hold the greatest market share through the forecast period.

Based on the product, the nitrogenous fertilizer market is classified into ammonium nitrate, urea, and methylene urea. Among these, the urea segment is predicted to hold the greatest market share through the forecast period. Urea’s dominance is attributed to its high nitrogen content, cost-effectiveness, and widespread use across various crops. Additionally, its ease of storage, transport, and application enhances its preference among farmers globally.

The cereals & grains segment is anticipated to hold the greatest market share during the projected timeframe.    

Based on the application, the nitrogenous fertilizer market is divided into cereals & grains, oilseeds & pulses, fruits & vegetables, and others. Among these, the cereals & grains segment is anticipated to hold the greatest market share during the projected timeframe. This is because cereals and grains, such as wheat, rice, and maize, are staple crops with high global demand for both human consumption and animal feed. These crops require significant amounts of nitrogen-based fertilizers to enhance yield and productivity, especially in regions with intensive farming practices.

Asia-Pacific is estimated to hold the largest nitrogenous fertilizer market share over the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific is estimated to hold the largest nitrogenous fertilizer market share over the forecast period. The growth is mainly due to more available land to cultivate, beneficial climatic conditions, and a greater rural population. The top multinational producers of nitrogenous fertilizers are setting up their manufacturing plants in countries of Asia as demand has been rising there and people there are now also giving much emphasis to food security. China is the largest user of the product worldwide and uses approximately one-third of the total global consumption of the product.

Europe is predicted to have the fastest CAGR growth in the nitrogenous fertilizer market over the forecast period. Growth has been attributed to the sizeable landmass in the region which is occupied by grasslands and agriculture. Imports of nitrate-based fertilizers are from Russia, Egypt, and Algeria; phosphate-based products are primarily from Morocco, while compounds of NPK have been mainly sourced from Norway and Russia.
