The global Controlled-Release Compound Fertilizer market size is predicted to grow from US$ 210 million in 2025 to US$ 246 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.7% from 2025 to 2031.
Controlled-release compound fertilizer is a granulated fertilizer that releases nutrients gradually into the soil (i.e., with a controlled release period). The slowness of the release is determined by the low solubility of the chemical compounds in the soil moisture. Since conventional fertilizers are soluble in water, the nutrients can disperse quickly as the fertilizer dissolves. Because controlled-release fertilizers are not water-soluble, their nutrients disperse into the soil more slowly. The fertilizer granules may have an insoluble substrate or a semi-permeable jacket that prevents dissolution while allowing nutrients to flow outward. Controlled-release fertilizers are also called coated or encapsulated fertilizers because the release is controlled by a polymer coating that contains a water-soluble fertilizer. Nutrients are released out of coated fertilizer through osmosis at a rate that is positively correlated with increased temperature.
The controlled-release compound fertilizer industry concentration is high; there are a few manufacturers in the world, and high-end products are mainly from Americas and Europe. In the world, giant manufactures mainly distribute in Americas and China such as ICL, Agrium, Kingenta and Haifa Chemicals. ICL is the leader of this industry by 31% market shaers.
