The global demand for Controlled-Release Fertilizers Market is presumed to reach the market size of nearly USD 2.74 Billion by 2032 from USD 1.5 Billion in 2023 with a CAGR of 6.9% under the study period 2024 - 2032.
Slow-release fertilizers, also known as controlled-release fertilizers (CRF), are granules coated in a substance that reduces nutrient release time, eliminates the need for constant fertilization, and has a higher efficiency rate than soluble fertilizers. Controlled-release fertilizers are more ecologically friendly than commercial fertilizers because they release nutrients slower, allowing plants to retain more nutrients. CRFs are extensively used in agricultural and horticultural crops around the world. According to scientific evidence, growers can achieve higher production and higher quality with coated fertilizers. These fertilizers produce results that are at least as good as standard fertilization while using less fertilizer, sometimes up to 25% less, while leaching fewer nutrients and requiring fewer application passes.
Market Dynamics
The rising demand for highly efficient fertilizers and high-value crops, favorable government regulations, and an increase in the number of investments from key market players are the factors driving the CRFs market. Farmers are concentrating on increasing crop yield and are hence willing to use new farming methods. In contrast with conventional fertilizers, the use of controlled-release fertilizers reduces nitrogen loss and requires less fertilizer application. As a result of the lower cultivation cost, the profit realized by farmers rises in conjunction with the crop output. The factors mentioned above significantly contribute to the growth of the market. Nevertheless, the dearth of qualified personnel and the supply of less effective counterfeit items are the key challenges that hamper the market growth.
