What Are The Key Drivers Fueling Growth In The Agricultural Coatings Market?
The rise in crop production is projected to spur the growth of the agricultural coatings market. This refers to the augmentation and reaping of crops for nutritional, fibrous, and a variety of agrarian products. The upward trend in crop production is propelled by factors like burgeoning population, necessity for food security, and economic expansion. Coatings specially engineered for gradual nutrient dispatch make sure that plants acquire crucial elements like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium throughout their developmental stages, optimizing nutrient absorption and curbing waste, which plays a part in superior crop growth. For example, in June 2024, the Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs, a government department based in the UK, reported that the highest value surge in a crop item in 2023 was in potatoes, which noted an elevation of £237 million ($296.25 million), or 30.8%, from 2022, making the total £1,005 million ($1.26 billion) in 2023. As a result, the surge in crop production is fueling the expansion of the agricultural coatings market.
