Nitrogenous Fertilizer Market Insights

Nitrogenous Fertilizer Market size was valued at USD 60.98 Billion in 2023 and is poised to grow from USD 64.21 Billion in 2024 to USD 96.88 Billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period (2025-2032).

Nitrogenous fertilizers are gaining popularity in the global agricultural sector due to their ability to assist rapid plant growth. Nitrogenous fertilizers promote the healthy growth of both foliage and fruits, and are available in liquid, solid, pelleted, and granular forms. The agricultural industry has increased its demand for nitrogenous fertilizers to provide adequate nutrition to various food crops, thereby increasing yield. They have a wide range of applications in agriculture, including vegetables, fruits, cotton, and cereals. Crop production capacity is greatly influenced by changes in climatic conditions, which change crop supply and demand according to season. Fertilizers are important ingredients used in agriculture to boost crop growth. However, environmental and health risk that comes with nitrogen-based fertilisers are significant restraints to the growth of the nitrogenous fertilizers market during the forecast period.

US Nitrogenous Fertilizer Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.

Nitrogenous Fertilizer Market Segmental Analysis

Global Nitrogenous Fertilizer Market is segmented by Type, by Crop type, by application, by Form and by Region. Based on Type, the market is segmented into Urea, Ammonium Nitrate, Ammonium Sulfate, Calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN), Others (NPK blends, potassium nitrate, diammonium phosphate (DAP), monoammonium phosphate (MAP), and other nitrogen & phosphate compounds). Based on Crop Type, the market is segmented into Cereals & grains, Oilseeds & pulses, Fruits & vegetables, Others (floriculture crops, permanent crops, plantation crops, pastures, grasslands, and other agricultural cultivation). Based on application, the market is segmented into Soil, Foliar, Fertigation, Others (aerial application, basal application, and starter solution). Based on Form, the market is segmented into Liquid, Dry, Others (granular and pelleted). Based on region, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & and Africa.

Nitrogenous Fertilizer Market Analysis by Product

Based on product, global nitrogenous fertilizer market is segmented into urea, ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate, methylene urea, ammonia, calcium ammonium nitrate, and others. Because of its widespread use and rising popularity, the urea segment is expected to dominate the global nitrogenous fertiliser market over the forecast period. The high nitrogen content and low price of urea are two major factors that have significantly boosted global urea growth. Urea contains approximately 46% nitrogen and is applied to bare soil.

The ammonia product segment ranked second in 2021, with about 18% of total revenue, and is expected to grow further during the forecast period. Higher leaching loss resistance and excellent solubility are attributed to the expansion. Because it has a higher nitrogen content than any other commercial counterpart, ammonia is an important pillar of the nitrogen-based fertiliser industry.

Nitrogenous Fertilizer Market Analysis by Application

Based on application, the global nitrogenous fertilizer market is segmented into cereals & grains, oilseeds & pulses, fruits & vegetables, and others. The cereals and grains segment held the highest revenue share of more than 44% in 2021, and will continue to lead during the forecast timeframe due to the maximum care needed by cereals and grains crops to produce higher yields and generate higher profitability for farmers and the overall agriculture industry.

Oilseeds and pulses are expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period due to the need to improve seed germination rates and obtain dense pulse canopies. Oilseeds and pulses are critical crops that meet humans' daily protein, vitamin, and mineral requirements.

Nitrogenous Fertilizer Market Regional Insights

Due to a larger available area for cultivation, favourable climate conditions, and a higher rural population, the Asia Pacific region is expected to maintain its dominant position during the forecast period. Due to increased demand and a growing emphasis on food security, major multinational nitrogenous fertilizer manufacturers are establishing manufacturing units in Asia Pacific countries like China, India, Japan, and others. China is the world's largest consumer of the product, accounting for roughly one-third of total global product consumption. These fertilizers play an important role in ensuring China's food security by allowing for greater growth in both non-grain and grain yields.

European nitrogenous fertilizer market is anticipated to significantly grow, and is further expected to grow at a rapid pace over the forecast period. The growing emphasis of European nations on improving agriculture and upgrading nitrate plants in Europe has significantly stimulated the development of Europe's nitrogenous fertiliser market.

Nitrogenous Fertilizer Market Dynamics

Nitrogenous Fertilizer Market Driver

  • The increased use of nitrogenous fertilizers in various agricultural products such as cereals, cotton, fruits, and vegetables is driving market growth. Nitrogenous crops have seasonal demand, as do many other crops. Crop production levels are heavily influenced by the weather, which influences supply and demand for nitrogenous fertilizers based on the season.

Nitrogenous Fertilizer Market Restraint 

  • The most commonly used nitrogen fertilisers are expected to be leached into groundwater and washed into waterways as a result of the heavy rainfall, causing severe environmental and economic damage. To address these issues, the Western Australian Government recommended that nitrogenous fertilisers not be applied near streams or drains; that they be applied when the pasture is actively growing and can use the fertilizers; and that they be avoided in winter. These solutions are expected to lessen the impact of nitrogen fertiliser overuse.

Nitrogenous Fertilizer Key Market Trends

  • Due to its rising compatibility with pesticides, herbicides, growth regulators, and other nutrients, urea-ammonium nitrate, a popular type of nitrogenous crop-growth enhancer, is rapidly gaining traction among liquid fertiliser manufacturers. The use of liquid fertilisers allows a farmer to save money by implementing several crop production and protection products at the same time rather than making several separate applications. Because they apply more smoothly and uniformly than non-liquid nitrogenous fertilisers, urea-ammonium nitrate solutions are widely utilized as a nitrogen source for plants.
