Figure. Controlled Release Fertilizers Marke Share (%), By Region 2024

Controlled release fertilizers play a pivotal role in efficient nutrient management practices by releasing nutrients in a controlled and sustained manner for plant uptake. These fertilizers aid in improved fertilizer use efficiency, balanced nutrition over an extended period as compared to conventional fertilizers. These help address challenges arising from volatility in fertilizer prices as well as over application leading to pollution. Their use has grown multifold over the last few decades across regions and crop types. With advancements in coating technologies, newer product formulations are being developed to cater to specific soil and crop requirements.
Market Dynamics
Global controlled release fertilizers market growth is driven by rising focus on sustainable agricultural practices. Growing awareness about environmental protection and efficient use of agrochemicals boosts its adoption. High crop yields with minimum fertilizer inputs offer economic incentives as well as reduce production costs. However, higher upfront costs of these fertilizers compared to conventional ones can hamper the market growth. Development of advanced slow-release mechanisms targeted at smallholder farmers can help address affordability issues. Furthermore, support from government initiatives and distributors plays a key role in market growth.
