The water-soluble NPK segment held the largest revenue share of 19.9% in 2024 due to its balanced nutrient composition, high compatibility with fertigation systems, and wide applicability across various crops and soil types
The horticultural open-field segment accounted for the largest revenue share of 38.2% in 2024, primarily due to the extensive global cultivation of fruits, vegetables, and other high-value crops in open-field conditions
By application, fertigation segment dominated the market share with 38.2% in 2024 due to its efficiency in delivering nutrients directly through irrigation systems, ensuring uniform distribution and optimal absorption by plant roots
On the other hand, the foliar application segment is gaining prominence for its ability to provide quick nutrient uptake, especially during critical growth stages or when root absorption is limited due to soil constraints
Asia Pacific held the largest revenue share, 36.7%, in 2024, fueled by increasing population-driven food demand, shrinking arable land, and rising adoption of modern agricultural practices.
