Meticulous Research®—a leading global market research company, published a research report titled ‘Specialty Fertilizers Market Size, Share, Forecast, & Trends Analysis by Type (Slow-release {Sulfur-coated Urea}, Controlled-release Fertilizer, Micronutrients), Form (Dry), Mode of Application (Fertigation), Crop Type (Cereals & Grains)- Forecast to 2031’. According to this latest publication from

Meticulous Research®, the specialty fertilizers market is projected to reach $46.83 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 9.2% from 2024 to 2031. The growth of the specialty fertilizers market is driven by the declining availability of arable land and the rising demand for food, growing environmental concerns, and favorable government policies and regulations. However, high production costs restrain the growth of the specialty fertilizers market.

The increasing adoption of precision farming technologies is expected to generate market growth opportunities. However, the lack of awareness among farmers is a challenge for the stakeholders in this market. Additionally, the increasing use of nanotechnology in agriculture is a key trend in this market.

The specialty fertilizers market is segmented by type (specialty NPK fertilizers, slow-release fertilizers {sulfur-coated urea, and other slow-release fertilizers}, controlled-release fertilizers, agricultural micronutrients, and other fertilizers), form (dry specialty fertilizers, and liquid specialty fertilizers), mode of application (fertigation, soil application, and foliar spray), crop type (cereals & grains {maize/corn, wheat, rice, and other cereals & grains}, fruits & vegetables, oilseeds & pulses, and other crops), and geography (Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa). The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the regional and country-level markets.

Based on type, the specialty fertilizers market is mainly segmented into specialty NPK fertilizers, slow-release fertilizers, controlled-release fertilizers, agricultural micronutrients, and other fertilizers. In 2024, the specialty NPK fertilizers segment is expected to account for the largest share of 60.9% of the global specialty fertilizers market. The large market share of this segment is mainly attributed to factors such as the growing population and the need to improve crop yields and soil fertility, the increasing demand for balanced nutrient solutions in agriculture, and the rising adoption of precision farming techniques. Moreover, the rising focus of governments in various countries to promote specialty urea fertilizers, advancements in fertilizer manufacturing techniques, and rising companies' focus on the development of customized formulations are further expected to support the growth of this market across the globe.

Based on form, the global specialty fertilizers market is segmented into dry specialty fertilizers and liquid specialty fertilizers. In 2024, the dry specialty fertilizers segment is expected to account for the largest share of 85.9% of the global specialty fertilizers market. The large market share of this segment is mainly attributed to the increasing adoption of controlled-release and slow-release fertilizers and the high efficacy and easier applicability of dry specialty fertilizers. Moreover, its cost-effectiveness, longer shelf life, ability to provide long-term release of nutrients, and high efficiency in all climatic conditions over its counterparts further support the growth of this market.

Based on application, the global specialty fertilizers market is segmented into fertigation, soil application, and foliar spray. The fertigation segment is expected to account for the largest share of 43.5% of the global specialty fertilizers market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the high use of drip irrigation in crop production, increasing preference for drip irrigation, high availability of water-soluble and liquid fertilizers, rising automation in irrigation methods, and rising precision agricultural practices.

Based on crop type, the specialty fertilizers market is mainly segmented into cereals & grains, fruits & vegetables, oilseeds & pulses, and other crops. In 2024, the cereals & grains segment is expected to account for the larger share of 50.7% of the global specialty fertilizers market. The large market share of this segment is mainly attributed to factors such as the rising demand for food grains due to the growing population, high area under cereals and grains production such as wheat, maize, rice, and barley, and increasing industrial application of cereals and grains.
