Anticaking agents leads the market with around 54.6% of market share in 2024. Anticaking agents dominate the fertilizer additives market due to their crucial role in maintaining product quality during storage and transportation. These agents prevent clumping by reducing moisture absorption and ensuring fertilizers remain free-flowing and easy to apply. Their effectiveness in enhancing shelf life and improving the efficiency of fertilizer application drives their widespread adoption. Additionally, the growing demand for high-quality fertilizers in agriculture, coupled with increased focus on reducing waste and operational costs, further solidifies the dominance of anticaking agents in the market.
Granular additives lead the market. Granular additives are widely used due to their ease of handling, uniform distribution, and controlled release properties. For example, Mosaic's MicroEssentials offer a granular form that combines essential nutrients and additives for improved crop performance. Innovations like these sustainable farming practices by minimizing nutrient leaching and runoff. Granular additives further improve soil structure by ensuring consistent nutrient availability, which promotes healthier root systems and boosts plant resilience. Their long shelf life and compatibility with various crop types make them a preferred choice for farmers globally. Additionally, granular forms are well-suited for mechanized application methods, reducing labor costs and increasing efficiency in large-scale farming.
Urea leads the market. Urea, a widely used nitrogen fertilizer, frequently includes urease inhibitors to decrease nitrogen loss from volatilization. An example is AGROTAIN by Koch Agronomic Services, a popular addition for urea. Additives like these improve nitrogen retention in the soil and support higher crop yields by ensuring a steady nutrient supply. As a widely used fertilizer, urea benefits from additives that enhance its performance, including anti-caking agents, dust suppressants, and slow-release coatings. Along with volatilization, these additives actively address common challenges associated with urea, such as clumping, and nutrient loss, ensuring more efficient nutrient delivery to crops.
In 2024, Asia Pacific accounted for the largest market share of over 60.5%. Asia-Pacific remains the leading region in the fertilizer additives market as a result of its substantial agricultural industry and heavy dependence on farming to sustain increasing population in countries including India and China.
