The global NPK fertilizers market is projected to expand at a value CAGR of 3% to top a market valuation of US$ 158 Bn by the end of 2032, according to detailed industry analysis by Persistence Market Research.
Fortified composts are enhanced nitrogen and phosphate fertilizer blends with added micronutrients such as iron and magnesium. They are developed to increase the effectiveness of degraded soil. These fertilizers boost crop yield by providing essential nutrients to plants while also protecting the soil. Fertilizer companies are voluntarily fortifying fertilizer products with micronutrients to increase soil fertility and prevent deficiencies in crops.
Due to intense farming techniques, the fertility and quality of soil degrade drastically. Nutrient deficiency is widespread across the world and is driving the demand for NPK fertilizers. Utilization of foliar fertilizers can improve the nutritional quality of plants and improve soil fertility. In many developing nations, modern cropping strategies, rather than traditional cultivation techniques, have resulted in soil nutrient depletion, which is expected to fuel the demand for NPK fertilizers for use in crops and plants.
Furthermore, the utilization of organic manures and fertilizers to meet the nutrient requirements of crops is becoming a popular agricultural practice due to several multifunctional benefits offered by organic fertilizers. Such fertilizers help in improving both, the physical and chemical properties of the soil, which, in turn, aids in proper plant growth and nourishment.
For instance, Coromandel International, an Indian fertilizer manufacturing company, has introduced GroShakti Plus, an NPK fertilizer fortified with zinc.
IFFCO offers a bio fertilizer, liquid consortia (NPK), comprising atmospheric nitrogen and phosphorus fixing organisms that help in optimizing crop growth, yield, and production.
