Nitrogen fertilizer is an animal feed supplement and crop fertilizer that is commonly used in the farming industry as white crystalline solid, producing 46 percent nitrogen and supplying plants with key nutrients. The increasing understanding of soil and nutritional quality among farmers is a major factor that is expected to accelerate demand growth for nitrogen fertilizers.

The report provides analysis of global Nitrogenous Fertilizers market for the period 2016-2027, wherein 2020 to 2027 is the forecast period and 2019 is considered as the base year.

Market Dynamics

Nitrogen fertilizer demand depends mainly on food demand in any area. Likewise, population is also among the leading factors for the development of the nitrogen fertilizer industry, along with the increased available revenue. Significant drivers for these fertilizers are their improved production and resulting yield of nitrogen fertilizers and their competitive advantages over other fertilizers. Extensive R&D by all major companies to develop more efficient and environmentally friendly nitrogen fertilizers have also driven the growth of this market. The market for nitrogen fertilizers has been limited by high costs for raw material and many environmental and safety risks associated with nitrogen-based fertilizers.

Regional Stance

Asia Pacific led the global Nitrogenous Fertilizers market in 2019. India and China's emerging economies are among the leading nitrogen fertilizers consumers in the world. In these economies, huge production of rice was the key driver for the demand of nitrogen fertilizers. In terms of sales, the US leads the North American industry. The rising demand for ammonium nitrate is increasing demand in Europe for nitrogenous fertilizers. In North America and Europe, demand for nitrogen fertilizers is projected to rise at a slow pace mainly because of market saturation. The rising demand for Latin American nitrogen fertilizers is projected to provide the industry with significant growth opportunities. The field would likely be powered by high production of sugarcane and maize in Latin America.
