This section covers the major market trends shaping the US Controlled Release Fertilizer Market according to our research experts:
Polymer Coated is the largest segment by Coating Type.
- The US controlled-release fertilizer market grew by 70.43% during the study period. The field crops segment was the largest market for controlled-release fertilizers in 2021, accounting for 82.06% of the United States controlled-release fertilizer market, followed by the turf and ornamental segment, accounting for 15.3%.
- The efficient release of nutrients, decreased leaching, and the volatilization of the nutrients are driving the coated controlled-release fertilizer market's growth in the United States.
- Compared to uncoated products, coated controlled-release fertilizers reduce leaching by 69.0% for nitrogen-based fertilizers and 82.0% for phosphate-based fertilizers on trials. Uncoated conventional urea loses up to 40% ammonia to volatilization. Multiple years of testing demonstrate that coated urea consistently reduced ammonia losses by at least 95.0%.
- Polymer coating was the largest segment in 2021, accounting for 62.0% of the United States controlled-release fertilizer market. The country is focused on field crop cultivation and majorly demands polymer-coated controlled-release fertilizers to meet environmental and cost-related concerns.
- The rising government regulations to reduce the environmental impact of over-accumulation of fertilizers are driving the demand for controlled-release fertilizers in the United States during the forecast period.
