Controlled Release Fertilizers Market: By Product Type, By Application and Region Forecast 2019-2030 

Controlled Release Fertilizers Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Product Type (Polymer coated NPK fertilizer, Polymer sulphur coated urea/sulphur coated urea, Polymer coated urea), By Application (Fruits & vegetables, Cereals & Grains, Oilseeds & Pulses) and Region Forecast 2019-2030 

Controlled Release Fertilizers Market size was valued at US$ 3.4 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2024 to 2030. The market is the customized fertilizers that are coated to provide the long-lasting effect on soil. These are the granulated fertilizers which gradually releases nutrients and minerals into the soil. As the traditional fertilizers are soluble in water, nutrients will be dispersed quickly.

Hence farmers are adopting usage of controlled release fertilizers as they are insoluble in water and the dispersion of the nutrients will be slow and sustainable. Controlled Release Fertilizers are highly used in the cultivation of pulses, cereals, grains, fruits and vegetable and oilseeds. Controlled release fertilizers can also be used for growing ornamental and turf plants. Most farmers use Controlled release fertilizer in grains and cereals crops. Market players of controlled-release fertilizers are adopting various growth strategies like acquisitions, new product launches, collaborations and geographical expansions and investments in order gain the upper hand in the market.  

Key Developments

  • On September 01, 2022: ICL has launched Groundbreaking Biodegradable Coated Fertilizer Technology. First-of-its-kind release technology is a major advancement for sustainable agriculture and food security and will allow farmers to meet 2026 EU fertilizer standards           
  • On June 13, 2024: Nousbo Co., Ltd., a South Korean company recognized for its advanced controlled-release fertilizer (CRF) technology, has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with SK Leaveo, a subsidiary of SKC focused on eco-friendly materials. This partnership aims to develop and commercialize biodegradable CRFs that align with sustainable agricultural practices.
