The growing demand for specialty fertilizers to improve productivity is strengthening the growth of the market

  • During the study period, the specialty fertilizers market in the region witnessed a robust growth of 94.2%. Moving forward, the market is projected to maintain a steady CAGR of 6.2%.
  • In 2022, China, India, and Japan commanded the market, accounting for 78.9%, 5.6%, and 2.5% of its value, respectively. Notably, China emerged as both the leading producer and consumer of specialty fertilizers in the region. The market's focus on China and India is driven by their sizable populations, ample land availability, diverse climatic regions, and supportive government policies, including fertilizer trials.
  • Field crops took the lion's share in 2022, capturing 72.3% of the market. Among these crops, the demand for polymer-coated, urea-based controlled-release fertilizers was particularly high, constituting 58.7% of the market. The use of poly-coated urea aids in bridging the gap between soil nitrogen availability and plant nitrogen demand, leading to a rising adoption of advanced fertilizers like these.
  • Fertigation emerged as the dominant fertilizer application method, accounting for 70.4% of all applications. This preference can be attributed to the drawbacks of foliar fertilizers, which, if not applied correctly, can harm plants. The market share of foliar application stands at 35.4%.
  • Driven by the desire to maximize crop yields per hectare, farmers have increasingly turned to specialized fertilizers like liquid, water-soluble, and controlled-release variants. This growing demand underscores the market's future potential.
Asia-Pacific Specialty Fertilizer Market

The intensive cultivation is driving the demand for specialty fertilizers

  • In 2022, field crops held the largest share of the Asia-Pacific specialty fertilizers market, representing 83.5% of the total consumption volume. Horticultural crops trailed behind at 15.8%, while turf & ornamentals lagged at less than 1%. China emerged as the leader in the field crops segment, commanding 33.1% of the specialty fertilizer market's value, followed by India at 23.8%, Indonesia at 7.0%, Australia at 5.6%, and Japan at 4.0%.
  • China's specialty fertilizer market, primarily driven by crops like rice, wheat, and maize, accounted for a staggering 78.4% of Asia-Pacific's total specialty fertilizer market value in 2022.
  • India, the second-largest fertilizer consumer in Asia-Pacific, witnessed a significant uptick in the specialty fertilizer market. From USD 1.31 billion in 2022, the market is projected to reach USD 1.76 billion by 2030. Specialty fertilizers, tailored to specific soil and plant conditions, are designed to elicit targeted responses, enhancing plant growth and productivity.
  • Japan's specialty fertilizer market held a 15.9% share of the Asia-Pacific market in 2022. The country's key agricultural crops encompass rice, soybean, wheat, and barley.
  • With Asia-Pacific's soils losing fertility due to continuous cropping, the region is facing challenges in sustaining cultivation. This scenario is expected to bolster the demand for specialty fertilizers, which offer precise nutrition delivery with minimal environmental impact.

Asia-Pacific Specialty Fertilizer Market Trends

The significant expansion of the cultivation of major growing crops is anticipated to boost the growth of the fertilizer market

  • Field crop cultivation dominates the region, encompassing over 95% of the total crop area. In 2022, the region's major field crops were rice, wheat, and corn, collectively occupying around 38% of the total crop area. This expanding cultivation area is poised to drive up fertilizer demand in the country.
  • The Asia Pacific, including China, India, Pakistan, and Australia, stands as a global powerhouse in wheat production. Notably, China and India lead both in production and consumption. Given wheat's status as a staple food in the region, coupled with a 638.6 thousand ha increase in cultivation area from 2018 to 2022, the demand for wheat has been on the rise. In 2022, China took the lead, producing 138 million metric tons, followed by India at 103 million metric tons.
  • Rice takes the crown as the region's primary field crop, occupying a significant 16.44% of the agricultural land in 2022. Being a staple in Asia-Pacific, rice holds immense importance. In 2022, China is projected to produce 147 million metric tons, while India is set to harvest 124 million metric tons. Notably, India is poised to consume 109 million metric tons and emerge as the top exporter with 19.5 million metric tons.
  • The surging demand, both domestically and internationally, for field crops has spurred an expansion in cultivation areas. This notable uptick in cultivated land is expected to have a direct and positive impact on the Asia-Pacific fertilizer market during 2023-2030.
Asia-Pacific Specialty Fertilizer Market

About 28% of nitrous oxide emissions from cropland in the world are from China's agricultural lands

  • The average application rate of primary nutrients (nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus) in field crops in the country stood at 129.1 kg/ha in 2022. Nitrogen dominated, accounting for 58.5% of the total, followed by potassium at 25.3% and phosphorus at 16.1%. The primary nutrient application in field crops is predominantly done through soil-based methods. In 2022, conventional soil-based primary macronutrient fertilizers held a 69.2% share of the primary macronutrient fertilizer market.
  • Asia witnesses a significant demand for primary nutrients, especially nitrogen and potassium fertilizers, due to prevalent deficiencies in these nutrients in the region's soils. Notably, Asia-Pacific, encompassing the largest land area and population globally, leads both in agrochemical production and consumption. China's agricultural lands alone contribute around 28% of the global nitrous oxide emissions from croplands.
  • Among field crops, wheat recorded the highest average primary nutrient application rate at 214.9 kg/ha in 2022. Nitrogen took the top spot among primary nutrients, with an average application rate of 448.5 kg/ha. This high nitrogen requirement stems from its crucial role in plant metabolism, as well as its presence in chlorophyll and amino acids.
  • Historically, inadequate guidance on fertilizer application rates, coupled with a focus on maximizing crop yields, has led to nitrogen and phosphorus contamination in surface and groundwater. However, the industry is now witnessing a shift toward more efficient fertilizers.

Asia-Pacific Specialty Fertilizer Industry Segmentation

CRF, Liquid Fertilizer, SRF, Water Soluble are covered as segments by Speciality Type. Fertigation, Foliar, Soil are covered as segments by Application Mode. Field Crops, Horticultural Crops, Turf & Ornamental are covered as segments by Crop Type. Australia, Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Pakistan, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam are covered as segments by Country.

  • During the study period, the specialty fertilizers market in the region witnessed a robust growth of 94.2%. Moving forward, the market is projected to maintain a steady CAGR of 6.2%.
  • In 2022, China, India, and Japan commanded the market, accounting for 78.9%, 5.6%, and 2.5% of its value, respectively. Notably, China emerged as both the leading producer and consumer of specialty fertilizers in the region. The market's focus on China and India is driven by their sizable populations, ample land availability, diverse climatic regions, and supportive government policies, including fertilizer trials.
  • Field crops took the lion's share in 2022, capturing 72.3% of the market. Among these crops, the demand for polymer-coated, urea-based controlled-release fertilizers was particularly high, constituting 58.7% of the market. The use of poly-coated urea aids in bridging the gap between soil nitrogen availability and plant nitrogen demand, leading to a rising adoption of advanced fertilizers like these.
  • Fertigation emerged as the dominant fertilizer application method, accounting for 70.4% of all applications. This preference can be attributed to the drawbacks of foliar fertilizers, which, if not applied correctly, can harm plants. The market share of foliar application stands at 35.4%.
  • Driven by the desire to maximize crop yields per hectare, farmers have increasingly turned to specialized fertilizers like liquid, water-soluble, and controlled-release variants. This growing demand underscores the market's future potential.
