Increasing Food Demand Fueling Fertilizer Market Growth
Coherent Market Insights’ latest fertilizer market analysis highlights major factors driving industry growth. One such prominent growth driver is the rising demand for food globally.
The world’s growing population, estimated to reach 9.8 billion by 2050 according to the UN, is placing increasing pressure on farmers to produce more food with limited land and resources. This, in turn, is fueling demand for fertilizers.
Fertilizers are becoming key solutions to address global food security challenges. They help farmers improve soil fertility and enhance crop yield. Thus, rising global food demand is expected to play a key role in boosting growth of the fertilizer market during the forecast period.

Environmental Concerns and High Production Costs Hampering Market Growth
The global fertilizer market outlook remains promising, owing to growing food demand worldwide. However, high production costs and increasing environmental concerns might limit market growth to some extent during the forthcoming period.
Overuse of chemical fertilizer can harm the soil, pollute water, and release greenhouse gases. These environmental problems may cause people to use less fertilizer, which can reduce its market demand. Also, stricter environmental rules are limiting the overuse of fertilizers.
Moreover, rising costs of raw materials like natural gas, phosphate, and potash affect fertilizer production. They increase the overall costs of fertilizers, making them inaccessible to farmers across developing and underdeveloped regions.
Increasing Government Initiatives Creating Growth Opportunities
Governments across regions like Asia and Africa provide subsidies, incentives, and support programs to promote fertilizer use and ensure food security. For example, Indonesia recently doubled its allocation of subsidised fertilisers to about 9.55 million tons. These initiatives are expected to create lucrative growth opportunities for fertilizer manufacturers during the forecast period.
Emerging Fertilizer Market Trends
Shift towards organic fertilizers is a key growth-shaping trend in the fertilizer market. Organic and biofertilizers are gaining immense traction due to environmental and health concerns. They are being widely used in sustainable agriculture practices to improve soil fertility as well as crop yield.
Rising adoption of intensive farming technologies is expected to fuel the fertilizer market growth during the forecast period. Modern agricultural practices often deplete soil nutrients faster, creating a strong demand for nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers.
Declining arable land across nations like the U.S. and Japan is increasing demand for fertilizers. For instance, according to the USDA, the number of farms in the U.S. dropped to about 1.88 million in 2024, down from 1.90 million in 2022. Farmers in these nations increasingly use fertilizers to increase productivity per hectare.
Advancements in fertilizer like controlled-release and nano-fertilizers are improving nutrient uptake. Similarly, precision agriculture technologies, such as satellite mapping, soil sensors, and data analytics, enable farmers to apply fertilizers more efficiently, minimizing waste and environmental impact. These innovations will collectively support market expansion.
