Global Secondary Macronutrients Market Size, Trends, By Nutrient (Sulfur, Calcium, Magnesium), By Application Method (Solid Application, Liquid Application), By Crop Type (Cereals and Grains, Oilseeds and Pulses, Fruits and Vegetables, Others), By Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa): Growth Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2023-2030.
Global Secondary Macronutrients Market
The Global Secondary Macronutrients Market was valued at USD 39.5 billion in 2022 and is expected to expand to USD 58.4 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period 2023-2030.
Calcium, magnesium, and sulfur are very essential plant nutrients for corn production. These are called secondary macronutrients because plants demand them in little amounts than primary macronutrients such as phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium. Secondary nutrients are those nutrients that slightly limit crop growth and are moderately required by plants.
Market Drivers
The increase in the demand for high-value crops worldwide is escalating the growth of the global secondary macronutrient market. The expansion of the agriculture sector and the growth in popularity of macronutrients for healthy plant growth are the major factors boosting the growth of the market. The increasing demand for high-value crops such as fruits & vegetables and developed applications for industrial crops drives the market growth.
Furthermore, the growing need for escalating agricultural yield, the increasing population and food requirement globally, and large investments in agricultural operations in developing economies extend profitable opportunities to the market players and influence the market.
Market Restraints
The growing prevalence of sculpted products and the limited availableness of macronutrients in the market are factors that obstruct market growth. The stringent regulatory frameworks toward environment-friendly agricultural practices and lack of awareness about the product are expected to challenge the market in the forecast period of 2023-2030.
Market Segmentation
The global secondary macronutrient market is segmented into nutrients (sulfur, calcium, magnesium), the application method (solid application, liquid application), and crop type (cereals and grains, oilseeds and pulses, fruits and vegetables, others).
The fastest-growing segment by nutrients is sulfur. Depletion of soil health, imbalances in the soil pH, and intensive cultivating methods of crops from allium and cruciferous groups decrease the availability of sulfur in the soil.
Regional Analysis
The global secondary macronutrients market is segmented into five regions such as North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa.
The Asia-Pacific region dominates the secondary macronutrients market owing to the high consciousness regarding the utilization of secondary macronutrients and the huge agriculture sector in the countries such as India and China, which is known to be the largest producer of lime, sulfur, and magnesite in the region and Indian soils are deficient in S by 40%, and Ca & Mg deficiencies are also becoming prominent. The application of these fertilizers is growing to maximize productivity.
Key Players
Various key players are discussed in the global secondary macronutrients market report including; Nutrien Ltd., Yara, The Mosaic Company, ICL, K+S Aktiengesellschaft, Nufarm, Koch Industries, Inc., Coromandel International Limited, Haifa Group., Rovensa., Kugler Company., Sapec Agro Business, and Others.
For instance, in July 2020, ICL GROUP LTD entered into an agreement regarding the supply of Polysulphate fertilizer products to customers and farmers in the European and Asian regions.
