Market Overview:

The major purpose of water-soluble fertilizers is to regulate the number of nutrients given to plants. These fertilizers are conveniently applied by fertigation or foliar application since they can be blended with water. Multi-compound fertilizers that can dissolve in water are known as water-soluble fertilizers. They are easily absorbed by plants, therefore their use and absorption are substantially higher than with standard chemical fertilizers. Modern irrigation systems work better with these nutrients. Additionally, they aid in avoiding groundwater contamination. Water-soluble fertilizers are chosen over conventional chemical fertilizers due of these benefits. Fertilizers that dissolve in water are ideal for modern irrigation techniques. They not only save money on labor but also on water and fertilizers. Compared to chemical fertilizers, these fertilizers are less impure and have a lower conductivity. Additionally, it is simple to change the fertilizer's concentration. For young plants, it is also regarded as a safe chemical alternative. All of these advantages of water-soluble fertilizers contribute to the expansion of the global market.

The use of water-soluble fertilizers in greenhouses, financial incentives with fertigation to reduce groundwater consumption, government subsidies for the adoption of this technology, and an increase in the demand for micro irrigation systems are some of the main factors boosting the growth of the global market for these products. However, elements like their high price in comparison to other soil fertilizers, their unfavorable seasonal impact, and the need for a costly initial installation may soon impede the market's expansion. The concentration of the fertilizer can also be changed easily. It is also recognized as a risk-free chemical substitute for young plants. These and other benefits of water-soluble fertilizers all help the global industry growth. According to estimates made by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), developing nations like China and India will require more than 120 million hectares of cropland to supply their expanding populations with food by 2030. Water-soluble fertilizers, despite the desertification of agricultural land and the deterioration of soil quality, are a crucial answer to assist farmers in sustainably maximizing yields, accelerating the maturation of crops, and maintaining overall plant health.

Segmentation Analysis

• In 2021, the Nitrogenous based water-soluble fertilizers segment dominated the market with the largest market share of 32% and market revenue of 5.69 billion.

Based on the Type, the Water-Soluble Fertilizer market is categorized into nitrogenous, potassic, micronutrients, and phosphatic. In 2021, the nitrogenous segment dominated the market with the largest market share of 32% and market revenue of 5.69 billion. Nitrogenous-based water-soluble fertilizers comprise ammonium nitrate, calcium nitrate, urea, and others, including magnesium nitrate, ammonium sulfate, etc. For plants to grow and develop, nitrogen is necessary for the synthesis of amino acids, which serve as the building blocks for the synthesis of proteins. In addition, nitrogen is a crucial element of chlorophyll that is necessary for several enzymatic processes. As a result, a plant's nitrogen supply controls its growth, color, vigor, and yield. In terms of volume, calcium nitrate leads the nitrogenous-based water-soluble fertilizer market.

• In 2021, the foliar segment accounted for the largest share of the market, with 69% and a market revenue of 12.2 billion.

Based on Application, the Water-Soluble Fertilizer market is bifurcated into foliar and fertigation. In 2021, the foliar segment dominated the market with the largest market share of 69% and market revenue of 12.2 billion. In cold climate zones, when the soil is not warm because the plant roots are dormant, foliar feeding is common. Foliar feeding, or applying fertilizer directly to the leaves, is the best method for preventing plant nutrient deficits and promoting development even in unfavorable weather circumstances. Foliar fertilization is also an environmentally benign procedure that lessens the leaching of nitrates and other environmental elements, lessens water pollution, and keeps the soil productive.

• In 2021, the horticulture segment accounted for the largest share of the market, with 31% and a market revenue of 5.5 billion.

Based on Crop Type, the Water-Soluble Fertilizer market is segmented into horticultural, turf & ornamentals, field, and others. In 2021, the horticulture segment dominated the market with the largest market share of 31% and market revenue of 5.5 billion. The increase in nutritional diet around the world is expected to increase the demand for high-value crops, which in turn is likely to fuel the segment growth. Also, numerous varieties of horticulture crops require appropriate conditioning and a favorable climate for proper growth, and water-soluble fertilizers can cater to requirements.
