Global Control and Slow-release Fertiliser Market Growth 2025-2031

Global Control and Slow-release Fertiliser Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Control and Slow-release Fertiliser market size is predicted to grow from US$ 5807 million in 2025 to US$ 7819 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2025 to 2031.

Controlled and Slow-release Fertilizer (CRF) is designed to release nutrients gradually over time, offering a more controlled and efficient fertilization method compared to conventional fertilizers. Unlike standard fertilizers, which dissolve quickly in water and release nutrients immediately, CRF features a mechanism that limits nutrient release, either through an insoluble substrate or a semi-permeable coating. This approach helps reduce nutrient loss, enhance soil nutrient retention, and provide a steady supply of nutrients to plants.

In the current market, major players in the CRF industry include Nutrien (Agrium), ICL, Anhui MOITH, Haifa Group, and Harrell's, with the top five companies holding about 39% of the market share. The production of CRF is largely concentrated in North America, Israel, Japan, and China, which together account for over 60% of global production. Asia-Pacific is the largest market for CRF, commanding a significant share of approximately 54%, followed by North America and Europe with shares of 21% and 20%, respectively.

Looking forward, the Controlled and Slow-release Fertilizer market is anticipated to grow due to increasing emphasis on sustainable agricultural practices and environmental regulations. As governments and agricultural organizations push for practices that minimize nutrient runoff and environmental pollution, CRF adoption is likely to rise. Additionally, the economic advantages of CRF, such as reduced labor costs and improved crop yields, are expected to drive further market growth. Advances in biodegradable coatings and customized nutrient release technologies will further support the expansion of the CRF market, addressing both environmental concerns and the need for more efficient fertilization solutions.

The increasing demand for Controlled and Slow-release Fertilizers is also being driven by advancements in agricultural technology and precision farming. As farmers adopt more sophisticated tools for monitoring soil conditions and plant health, the ability to use CRF to precisely match nutrient release with crop needs becomes increasingly valuable. This alignment enhances nutrient efficiency and reduces wastage, aligning with both economic and environmental goals. Additionally, the trend towards organic and eco-friendly farming practices is pushing for CRF solutions that use natural or biodegradable materials in their coatings. These innovations are expected to further boost the appeal of CRF in the market, meeting the growing demand for sustainable agricultural inputs and supporting long-term soil health.
