Specialty Fertilizers and Industrial Nutrients Market will reach US$40.05 billion by 2033 - Strategic Revenue Insights
London, UK – November 2025 | Strategic Revenue Insights Inc. – The global Specialty Fertilizers and Industrial Nutrients market will reach US $40.05 billion by 2033, finds Strategic Revenue Insights. According to the latest report, the market was valued at approximately US $27.16 billion in 2024, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.41 % for the period 2025-2033.
The progression of the market from its 2024 base of US $27.16 billion to the forecasted US $40.05 billion by 2033 reflects a sustained shift away from conventional bulk fertilizers toward high-efficiency, tailored nutrient solutions. The specialty fertilizers and industrial nutrients space is gaining traction as farmers, agribusinesses and industrial users embrace controlled-release, water-soluble and micronutrient variants designed for higher crop yield, lower nutrient loss and improved environmental performance.
Key growth drivers include the global imperative of food security as population growth and yield-pressure mount, accelerated adoption of precision agriculture tools (including sensor-based nutrient management and IoT-enabled applications), and increased regulatory emphasis on nutrient-runoff reduction and sustainable soil health. In concert, the pressure on arable land and demand for higher-value crops are motivating end-users to procure more advanced nutrient solutions rather than traditional bulk forms. That said, the market does face constraints: high upfront costs of specialty formulations compared with legacy fertilizers and regulatory complexity in developed regions weigh on some uptake.
Regionally, the Asia-Pacific region emerges as a vibrant growth arena, driven by large agricultural bases, rising mechanization, growing awareness of nutrient-efficiency strategies and increasing governmental support for advanced agronomic inputs. North America and Europe remain mature markets characterized by high technology adoption and strong regulatory frameworks especially in precision farming and horticulture but growth there is comparatively moderate. Latin America and Middle East & Africa are evolving segments, presenting opportunities as agricultural modernization and sustainability initiatives gain traction.
Major companies in the specialty fertilizers and industrial nutrients market include The Mosaic Company (USA), Yara International ASA (Norway), Nutrien Ltd. (Canada), ICL Group Ltd. (Israel) and Haifa Group (Israel). These players are actively enhancing their product portfolios, improving distribution networks and forging strategic collaborations to capture the shift toward customized nutrient solutions.
In terms of segmentation, the market divides by type including controlled-release fertilizers, water-soluble fertilizers, micronutrient fertilizers and others by application covering agriculture, horticulture, turf & ornamentals, and other uses and by form such as liquid, granular and powder. Controlled-release fertilizers are gaining traction because they enhance nutrient uptake efficiency and reduce waste in heavy-rain or leaching-prone regions. Water-soluble fertilizers are increasingly used in high-value crops and through fertigation systems. Meanwhile, micronutrient fertilizers target specific soil-deficiency scenarios and drive yield and quality improvements in both agriculture and horticulture. On the application front, large-scale agriculture remains the largest segment but horticulture and turf/ornamental segments are growing faster, thanks to higher margins and specialized crop demands.
Looking ahead to 2033, the specialty fertilizers and industrial nutrients market presents compelling opportunities. The forecast value of US $40.05 billion underscores that value creation will increasingly come from differentiated, high-performance nutrient solutions rather than commodity products. Suppliers that invest in precision-agriculture integration, bio-based and environmentally-friendly nutrient systems, and expansion in high-growth regions such as South Asia, Southeast Asia and Latin America will position themselves for above-average gains. At the same time, overcoming barriers such as the premium cost of specialty inputs, educating farmers (especially in emerging markets) on the benefits of advanced nutrients, and adapting to evolving regulatory frameworks will determine market success. For stakeholders from nutrient-manufacturers to agricultural service providers, distributors to end-users the message is clear: this industry segment is not simply expanding, it is evolving into a core component of sustainable agronomy and crop-productivity optimization.
