Foliar Fertilizer Market Size

Global Foliar Fertilizer Market reached USD 6.9 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 10.6 billion by 2030, growing with a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period 2023-2030. Precision agriculture techniques, such as the use of GPS technology, drones and remote sensing, are becoming more prevalent in modern farming practices.

Foliar fertilizers fit well into precision agriculture as they allow targeted and site-specific nutrient application, optimizing crop nutrition and improving overall efficiency. Hence the adoption of precision agriculture act as a key trend for foliar fertilizer market growth.

Farmers are increasingly opting for foliar fertilizers that contain multiple essential nutrients in a single product. In 2020, PhosAgro announced, it is set to supply Apaliqua NP 11-37 liquid complex fertilizers to farmers in Bulgaria and Hungary, Europe. Apaliqua NP 11-37 is a liquid nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizer that ensures superior phosphorus availability and uptake. Multinutrient foliar fertilizers simplify the application process and ensure that crops receive a balanced combination of nutrients necessary for optimal growth boosting their market growth.

Foliar Fertilizer Market Dynamics

Increasing Demand for High-Quality Crops

Foliar fertilizers offer a targeted and efficient method of delivering essential nutrients directly to the leaves of crops. This direct application ensures that the plants get the needed nutrients quickly and in a form that can be readily absorbed. As a result, crops are better nourished, leading to healthier and higher-quality productivity. In June 2023, ICL announced the launch of a new line of advanced foliar and fertigation solutions under the Nova brand of water-soluble fertilizers. This range includes Nova FINISH, Nova PULSE, Nova ELEVATE and Nova FLOW. These products help farmers deliver essential nutrients more effectively.

By supplying essential nutrients precisely when and where they are needed, foliar fertilizers help optimize the growth and development of crops. This leads to increased crop yields and improved product quality, including better color, size, taste and nutritional content. High-quality crops are more desirable to consumers and often command premium prices in the market.

Government Initiatives

Governments often provide financial incentives, subsidies, or grants to farmers which encourage the adoption of modern agricultural practices, including the use of foliar fertilizers. In May 2023, in India, The Union Cabinet approved a Rs 1.08 lakh crore for the fertilizer subsidy for the 2023-24 Kharif season, for ensuring the availability of fertilizers to farmers at subsidized, affordable and reasonable prices. These financial benefits can reduce the overall cost of purchasing and using foliar fertilizers, making them more affordable for farmers.

Governments often focus on enhancing agricultural productivity and food security within their countries. Foliar fertilizers, by improving crop yields and quality, can contribute to meeting these objectives and may receive policy support accordingly. As a result, governments may promote the use of foliar fertilizers as part of their sustainable agriculture strategies.

High Cost of Foliar Fertilizers

Foliar fertilizers, particularly specialized formulations and organic products are more expensive than traditional soil-applied fertilizers. For instance, Mono Potassium Phosphate (0-52-34), fertilizer for foliar application offered by IFFCO, costs 260 per 1 kg, while Urea Phosphate (17-44-0) offered by IFFCO, costs 144 per 1 kg. The higher cost may deter many farmers, particularly farmers with limited financial resources, from adopting foliar fertilizers on a large scale. Small-scale farmers with limited financial resources may find it challenging to afford the higher upfront costs related to foliar fertilizers. 

Farmers are price-sensitive when making decisions for purchasing any advanced agricultural products. While foliar fertilizers may offer advantages such as faster nutrient absorption and targeted delivery, the overall economic viability of using these products must be justified. If the perceived benefits do not outweigh the higher cost, farmers may choose less expensive alternatives.

Foliar Fertilizer Market Segment Analysis

The global foliar fertilizer market is segmented based on type, composition, form, nature, crop type, distribution channel and region.

Rising Demand for Foliar Fertilizer in the Production of Field Crops due to Their High Nutrient Demand

Field crops such as wheat, rice, corn, soybeans and cotton are typically grown vastly on agricultural lands. Foliar fertilizers can enhance crop productivity and yield of field crops when used correctly. Intercropping increased the leaf N content and N content per unit area of maize crops by 7 and 13% without fertilization, 6 and 19% with nitrogen fertilization and 8 and 20% with nitrogen fertilization combined with foliar application of iron, respectively.

Field crops often have high nutrient requirements to achieve optimal yields. Foliar fertilizers are a quick and efficient way to deliver essential nutrients directly to the leaves, where they are readily absorbed by the plants. This helps to address nutrient deficiencies and promote healthier growth.

Asia-Pacific’s Growing Consumption of for Fertilizers

Due to the larger population in Asia-pacific, there is a growing demand for fertilizer in agricultural fields to boost productivity which creates a surge in demand for all types of fertilizer including foliar fertilizer. For instance, according to the Trade Promotion Council of India, India is the 2nd largest consumer fertilizers after China. The Food and Fertilizer Technology Centre for the Asian and Pacific Region observed that the foliar mode of micronutrient application, such as 0.5% iron sulfate, manganese sulfate, 0.1% of copper sulfate, of the minimum recommended dosages are found to decrease the respective symptoms of deficiency on the crops.

In several Asian countries, governments have implemented policies to support the agriculture sector, including subsidies or incentives for the adoption of modern agricultural practices and fertilization techniques. For instance, in India, in June 2023, The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) approved a bouquet of fertilizer schemes, to boost the well-being of farmers with a total allocation of 3.70 trillion rupees. These types of support can boost the demand for affording advanced agricultural products including foliar fertilizers.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The pandemic's widespread disruptions to transportation, logistics and manufacturing have affected the supply chain of various agricultural products including foliar fertilizers. The pandemic and its associated economic challenges influenced farmers' purchasing decisions. Some farmers with limited financial resources, have faced economic challenges in purchasing advanced agricultural products like foliar fertilizers. 

Russia- Ukraine War Impact 

Both Russia and Ukraine are major players in the global fertilizer market. According to data from the industry association Fertilizers Europe, Russia and Belarus provide as much as 60% of the EU’s fertilizer supply. The conflict affected fertilizer production facilities and transportation infrastructure in these countries, which decreased the overall supply of foliar fertilizers. Reduced production capabilities lead to higher prices and limited availability in the market.

Key Developments

  • In May 2023, Yara International, a provider of specialty crop nutrition products, announced to build a global plant for the production of specialty fertilizers and biostimulants.
  • In September 2022, ICL launched ICLeaf and ICL Crop Advisori Maharashtra, India. ICLeaf is a cutting-edge system of expert guidance, recommendations and foliar assessments that keeps farmers up to date on pesticide management.
