Nitrification & Urease Inhibitors Market Segment Analysis – by Product Type
Nitrification Inhibitor held the largest share of the Nitrification & Urease Inhibitors Market in 2021 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.0% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Nitrification inhibitors such as nitrapyrin and dicyandiamide have wide usage in agrochemicals and bactericides as they minimize nitrogen leaching in the soil to enhance crop fertility and crop yield. Unlike N-(n-butyl) thiophosphorictriamide (NBPT), nitrapyrin is very persistent and can be used in cool soil also to maintain its quality. Raid development in agriculture production has boosted nitrification inhibitor usage, thereby improving its segmental growth in the Nitrification & Urease Inhibitors Market.
Nitrification & Urease Inhibitors Market Segment Analysis – by End-use Industry
Food crop held the largest share of the Nitrification & Urease Inhibitors Market in 2021 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 2.5% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Inhibitors such as nitrapyrin, dicyandiamide and N-(n-butyl) thiophosphorictriamide (NBPT) have high applicability in improving the food crops production, as they retain the essential nutrients required for the growth of fruits and vegetables. Food crops have increased significantly over the years due to growing food demand resulting from population growth and an increase in disposable income. According to the 2021 report by the Food and Agriculture Organization, the production of primary fruits was 9.4 billion tons in 2019, showing a 53% increase from 2000. Also, according to the same report, global vegetable production went up to 1128 million tons in 2019, showing an increase of up to 65%. Such an increase in production has boosted the growth of the Nitrification & Urease Inhibitors Market.
Nitrification & Urease Inhibitors Market Segment Analysis – by Geography
Asia-Pacific held dominated the Nitrification & Urease Inhibitors Market with a share of up to 44%. The region is the major hub for the agriculture sector and on account of growing government policies and investment inflows, the production scale has grown in major Asia-Pacific countries. According to the Indian Brand Equity Foundation, in 2021, India’s agriculture activities recorded a 3.9% growth in comparison to the previous year. Furthermore, according to the U.S. Department of Food and Agriculture, in 2021, China’s wheat production stood at 136 million metric tons, showing an increase of 2% in comparison to 2020. With a robust growth of agricultural production in such major crop-producing Asia-Pacific countries, the demand for Nitrification & Urease Inhibitors for improving soil quality is also anticipated to increase. This further boosts the Nitrification & Urease Inhibitors Market growth.
Technological advancement has revolutionized agriculture activities by introducing more efficient tools and techniques relating to fertigation and irrigation that improve farm productivity. For instance, according to the statement of Soilgenic Technologies LLC, in June 2022, the company launched next-generation, enhanced efficiency fertilizer technologies for urea. Furthermore, in July 2021, RainAg and Moleaer announced a nanotube-infused fertigation technique to improve crop yield. Such launches of advanced fertigation technologies would boost the demand and usage of Nitrification & Urease Inhibitors, thereby accelerating their market growth during the forecast period.
Nitrification & Urease Inhibitors Market Challenges
Stringent Government Regulations:
Nitrification & Urease Inhibitors have high applicability in agrochemicals. However, such fertilizers are nitrogen-based and their excessive usage can lead to water pollution. To prevent such events, certain regulations have been imposed by the governing authorities. For instance, the Groundwater Protection Rule by the US EPA and the National Standard Guidelines of China for Agrochemicals impose certain restrictions regarding the usage of chemicals in fertilizers. Such regulations can hamper the Nitrification & Urease Inhibitors Market size during the forecast period by restraining their usage in agriculture activities.
Nitrification & Urease Inhibitors Market Drivers
Bolstering Growth in Horticulture:
Nitrification & Urease Inhibitors, being effective fertilizers, hold major uses in horticulture which requires rapid use of insecticides to control a variety of agricultural pests that can damage crops and reduce farm productivity. The high demand for fruits and vegetables that provide critical nutrients for a balanced diet is increasing horticulture production. According to the Agriculture Ministry of India, the horticulture production in India was 330 million tons in 2020, showing an increase of 3% from 2019. Furthermore, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, in 2022, horticulture crop production is projected to increase by 1.4% in the U.S. Such an increase in horticulture production would propel the growth of the Nitrification & Urease Inhibitors industry during the forecast period.
