Global Foliar Fertilizer Market Trends
The rising pressure on the agriculture industry to meet the growing demand for food is expected to increase the area under field crop cultivation
- The global agricultural sector is facing many challenges. According to the UN, the world population may exceed 9 billion by 2050. This population growth may overburden the agricultural industry, which is already experiencing an output loss due to a lack of laborers and the shrinkage of agricultural fields caused by rising urbanization. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, 70% of the global population is expected to live in cities by 2050. Due to the global loss of arable land, farmers now need to utilize more fertilizers to increase crop yields.
- Asia-Pacific is the world's largest producer of agricultural products. Agriculture is critical to the region's economy, as it employs about 20% of the total available workforce. Field crop cultivation dominates the region, accounting for about more than 95% of the total crop area in the region. Rice, wheat, and corn are the major field crops produced in the region, together accounting for about 24.3% of the total crop area in 2022.
- North America ranks as the second-largest arable region globally. Its farms cultivate a diverse range of crops, with a focus on field crops. Notably, corn, cotton, rice, soybean, and wheat are the prominent field crops, as highlighted by the USDA. In 2022, the United States commanded 46.2% of North America's crop cultivation area.

Foliar Fertilizer Industry Segmentation
Complex, Straight are covered as segments by Type. Field Crops, Horticultural Crops, Turf & Ornamental are covered as segments by Crop Type. Asia-Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa, North America, South America are covered as segments by Region.
- The field crops segment accounted for 78.3% of the overall foliar fertilizer market value in 2022. More than 85% of the world's agricultural acreage is focused on the cultivation of field crops, which accounts for the huge use of foliar fertilizers by these crops.
- Asia-Pacific and North America together held a market value share of 70.4% in 2022. This was due to the presence of a large field crop cultivation area, which accounted for about 58.0% of the total field crop cultivation area worldwide during the same period. North America accounted for 26.7%, and Asia-Pacific accounted for a share of 41.7% of the usage of foliar fertilizers in field crops in 2022.
- The horticultural crops held a value share of 18.2% of the global foliar fertilizer value and accounted for USD 4.4 billion in 2022. Foliar fertilization allows for precise and targeted nutrient delivery directly to the plant’s leaves. This is particularly beneficial in horticulture, where specific nutrient requirements for different crops and stages of growth need to be met. Furthermore, the foliar application provides a quick response to nutrient deficiencies, ensuring that plants receive essential nutrients when they need them most. Due to these factors, the adoption of foliar fertilizers is growing significantly across the region.
- The demand for foliar fertilizers in the turf and ornament crop segment is projected to register a CAGR of 5.2% in terms of value from 2023 to 2030. This uptick is driven by the increasing demand for ornamentals to enhance aesthetics and quality of life, as well as the need for turf maintenance in public spaces.
