Market Overview
The India fertilizers market is projected to register a CAGR of 11.9% during the forecast period (2021-2026). The impact of global pandemic Covid-19, on the Indian fertilizer market, is low, as the national government exempted this sector from lockdown restrictions. But the sector faced challenges in terms of shortage of labor and raw materials due to lockdown. The government of India took measures to ensure fertilizers are available to the farmers in the midst of lockdown which resulted in the increased sales of fertilizers. India is the second-largest consumer of fertilizers in the world with an annual consumption of more than 55.0 million metric tons. Among the various type of fertilizers used in India, Urea is one of the highest consumed fertilizers in the country as a source of Nitrogen. The consumption of Urea in the country as of March 2018 was 29.0 million metric ton. DAP is the second majorly consumed fertilizer in the country. According to the Department of Fertilizers, the total production of Urea in India was 20.7 million metric ton in 2017 and DAP was 14.6 million metric tons in 2017, which was 1.36% higher compared to 2016.

Increase in production of DAP and Complex Fertilizers
Urea is the major consumed fertilizer in India followed by DAP. According to the Department of fertilizer of India, the production of DAP and Complex fertilizers is increasing in the country. The production of DAP reached 3.9 million metric ton and the production of complex fertilizers reached 9.0 million metric ton in 2019. The increase in production has resulted in the decline of DAP imports by 26.0% in 2019. The production of DAP has increased in the period of 2017-2018 when the global prices for phosphate raw materials fell. This boosted the production of DAP in the country owing to the higher demand for fertilizer.
