Soil quality can be recovered only by increasing the consumption of fertilizer mixtures. The most important factor contributing to the growth in the demand for fertilizer mixtures is the ability of the product to provide all the necessary nutrients at the same time. This factor is anticipated to play a vital role in increasing agricultural productivity and thus drive growth for fertilizer mixtures market over the next seven years.

Change in eating habits across emerging economies including India, China, and Brazil has contributed significantly to the rising consumption of fertilizer mixtures and this growth is anticipated to continue in the next seven years. The mixture of nitrates and phosphates is responsible for increasing crop yield and enhance overall agricultural productivity along with protecting crops from harmful pathogens. Issues raised in the European Union on regulations regarding the consumption of fertilizer mixtures have resulted in slight decline in market growth over the past few years. Other regions including North America and Europe are anticipated to witness a growing demand for fertilizer mixtures owing to increasing R&D, product innovation, and faster adoption rates of new farming practices.
