Description
Fertilizer additives are added in the fertilizers to improve the quality, stability, productivity and durability of the fertilizers and the soil in which such fertilizers are added. They help the plants grow faster by providing them ready-made molecules for growth, thus saving the plants’ energy. They also help the plants remain healthy by making them resistant to the attack of insects and pathogens. They also help the plants indirectly by preventing the loss of useful nutrients from the soil. Fertilizer additives are also used to prevent caking of fertilizers. The demand for higher agricultural yields is the trigger point for the increasing demand of good quality fertilizers and hence the fertilizer additives. The demand for fertilizer additives is increasing at a considerable rate, especially in the developing nations.
End-user/Technology
The end-users of fertilizer additives are the fertilizer manufacturers and the users of fertilizers.
The technological innovations and advancements have led to use of improved methods in the production of fertilizers. The fertilizer additives are either added during the production of fertilizers or while application in the agricultural fields.
Market Dynamics
The market for fertilizer additives is expected to grow at a considerable rate owing to the technological advancements in fertilizer manufacturing. Also, the increased willingness to improve the agricultural productivity by using agrochemicals like fertilizers and pesticides is also contributing to the growth of this market. The growth potential is the highest in developing economies.
However, stringent government regulations can pose a threat to the growth of the market. The increasing awareness about organic farming and low awareness about use of additives in the fertilizers and the harmful environmental effects which result from the increased use of chemical fertilizers might also hinder the growth of the market.
