The global fertilizer bag market size is anticipated to reach USD 5.56 billion by 2033 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The global market is experiencing significant growth, driven primarily by rising seafood consumption and increasing demand for convenience foods. As global populations grow and dietary preferences shift toward protein-rich diets, the demand for packaged seafood, such as frozen fish, canned tuna, and ready-to-eat shrimp, has surged. For example, countries such as Japan and Norway, with strong seafood traditions, are seeing increased demand for pre-portioned, vacuum-sealed salmon fillets, while Western markets favor microwaveable seafood meals. Urbanization further amplifies this trend, where busy consumers prioritize easy-to-prepare, shelf-stable seafood products.
Granular fertilizers, widely used in cereals and oilseeds, demand sturdy, tear-resistant bags with strong stitching to withstand rough handling during transport and storage. For example, urea and DAP (Diammonium Phosphate) are often used in multi-layer woven PP bags with inner liners to prevent moisture absorption. On the other hand, powdered fertilizers, such as single superphosphate (SSP), require sealed, dust-proof packaging to minimize losses and ensure worker safety. Meanwhile, liquid fertilizers are increasingly packed in specialized pouches or barrier-coated bags to prevent leakage and chemical reactions. Diversifying fertilizer formulations, including micronutrient-enriched and slow-release variants, also pushes manufacturers to develop application-specific packaging solutions that enhance usability and shelf life.
The expansion of modern retail and e-commerce, which requires durable, tamper-proof, and visually appealing packaging, also contributes to the market growth. Supermarkets and online grocery platforms demand packaging that extends shelf life while maintaining product quality. For example, modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) keeps seafood fresh longer by controlling oxygen levels, making it ideal for online seafood delivery services such as HelloFresh or Amazon Fresh. In addition, attractive labeling and transparent packaging help brands differentiate themselves, as seen with Bumble Bee’s resealable pouches for tuna, which enhance convenience and reduce waste.
