The global liquid fertilizers market size is expected to reach USD 3.41 billion by 2030, as per the new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2024 to 2030. The demand for liquid fertilizers is rising due to the increasing use of effective fertilizers and fertigation methods.
The liquid fertilizers help minimize nutrient wastage and enhance crop yield and quality by maximizing nutrient absorption. Moreover, liquid fertilizers are easy to apply and can be used in various ways, such as foliar spraying, and fertigation. This versatility saves time and reduces labor costs. The demand for high-quality crops is increasing due to the rising global population and changing dietary preferences. Liquid fertilizers are crucial in meeting this demand by promoting healthier plant growth and improving yield potential. Additionally, liquid fertilizers can be formulated to minimize environmental impact, reducing the risk of nutrient runoff and groundwater contamination.
Liquid fertilizers have become increasingly popular due to their advantages. One of the primary benefits of using liquid fertilizers is that they are easier to mix and are generally better absorbed by the crop. The ease of using and applying liquid fertilizers is the primary factor driving industry growth. They are simple to handle and apply, requiring less labor since pumps are used for movement. Another advantage of liquid fertilizers is that some pesticides can be infused into the fluid, reducing the number of trips across the field.
This is mainly due to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. These high prices are expected to continue through 2022 and beyond. These elevated prices may have implications for crop production in 2022 and 2023. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has worsened the already limited fertilizer supply situation and triggered restrictions on imports and exports, further compounding the shortage concerns. Russia has imposed restrictions on exports of nitrogen, phosphate, and potash fertilizers until June 2022, which will reduce the worldwide supply by almost 15%.
