“Fertilizers basically are the products that enhance the levels of available plant nutrients and the chemical and physical characteristics of soil, thereby directly or indirectly improving plant growth, yield, and quality. These are used for providing strength and nutrients to the crops. The fertilizers market has been segmented by type of fertilizers, type of crop and geography exclusively. Based on the types of fertilizers commercially available, the market is categorized in to organic, inorganic and bio fertilizers. Each type varies greatly and the composition is different with different technical specifications. The target crop segment includes wheat, rice, maize, soybean, oil palm, cotton, sugar, fruits & vegetables, others.
Improving the yield of food crops, to meet the demand from increasing population propels the growth of fertilizers market. In such a globalized world, there should be enough food for feeding the increasing population. Hence, there is an upsurge in the demand for improving the yield of crops. This impetus has induced the growth of fertilizers market, which is directly related to the agricultural industry. Demand for fertilizers is also, strongly tied to the population’s income and standard of living. With the increasing per capita income, the standard of living also increases, so does the consumption of food by the people.
Among the eight core industries, fertilizers have seen an increase in the production rate by 12.6%, for the period during April to August, 2015, over the same period in previous year
Organic fertilizers are in burgeoning demand ever since the era of organic agriculture has begun. According to statistics, organic fertilizers market is anticipated to grow multi fold and the main reason accounting for the growth is the increasing demand for healthy foods that are free from any artificial fertilizers or chemicals.
