 Market Definition

Fertilizers are natural or synthetic substances that contain chemical elements that promote plant growth and productivity. Fertilizers either improve the soil's natural fertility or replace the chemical elements removed by previous crops. Nitrogenous, potash, and phosphate fertilizers are examples of modern fertilisers. Some fertilisers also include "micronutrients" like zinc and other metals that are essential for plant growth.

Fertilizer Coatings Market Scope and Segmentation

Fertilizer Coatings Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Growing technological advancements in seed technologies

There have been numerous technological advancements in seed technologies, which are increasingly beneficial to sustainable crop production. The growing demand for agricultural output has prompted the commercialization of novel seed technologies. The commercial application of seed technologies by specialist applicators or seed companies is becoming more common. Commercial applicators use high-value seeds because they necessitate more complex technology.

With the introduction of advanced low-rate chemistry and genetic traits, conventional soil-applied pesticides have given way to seed-delivered solutions. Furthermore, the development of commercial seeds such as hybrid corn, rice, and cotton has encouraged the commercial application of low seed rates, increasing the cost benefits of commercial seed enhancement technologies even further.

A fertilizer coating helps in higher crop yields

Fertilizer coatings improve crop productivity and increase plant water holding capacity by reducing leaching losses and increasing crop yield. The harmful effects of other fertilisers as a result of prolonged chemical exposure may boost the market growth for fertilizer coatings market.

Furthermore, an increase in demand for organic product from developed-country consumers, as well as the implementation of farming practices and the maintenance of high farming standards, has created a positive outlook for the industry.

Opportunity

Precision farming has the potential to increase production and nutrient-use efficiency by ensuring that nutrients do not leach from or accumulate in high concentrations in certain areas of the field. Precision farming is becoming more popular in developed countries for more efficient use of the fertigation method, which includes the use of controlled-release fertilisers. Controlled-release fertiliser release patterns and coating technology can be fed into the information system, which can then provide an accurate analysis of the nutrient requirements for the crops, application rate, and mixing ratio required within the fertigation system.

Restraints

Climate change has a significant impact on the agricultural industry. It is beneficial in increasing yield and preventing disease and insect attacks. Uncertainties in climatic conditions are expected to have an impact on crop yield, resulting in crop loss. Increased CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions, such as methane and nitrous oxide, are to blame for the change in global temperature and warming. This climate change has a direct impact on oilseed crops by reducing pollinator activity. Rapeseed, for example, is grown all over the world for cooking, animal feed, and biofuels.
