How Will The Fertigation & Chemigation Market Size Evolve In The Foreseeable Future?
The fertigation & chemigation market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market for fertigation and chemigation is predicted to experience robust growth in the upcoming years, expanding to "$65.69 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%.
This projected growth during the forecast period can be linked to factors such as adaptation to climate change, the increased need for controlled-release fertilizers, a growing horticulture sector, worldwide population growth, and the surge in acceptance of greenhouse farming. Notable trends to look out for during this period include the rise of digital farming platforms, the adoption of advanced agriculture technologies, customized nutrient plans, variable rate technology (VRT), remote tracking & management, as well as an increase in automation and smart farming.
Which Key Drivers Are Propelling The Fertigation & Chemigation Market's Growth?
The projected rise in vegetable production is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the fertigation and chemigation market. Vegetables pertain to edible sections of plants, like roots, leaves, flowers, and stems. In farming vegetables, drip irrigation is extensively utilized for fertigation as it decreases water interaction with above-ground crop growth (leaves, stems, and fruits), thereby reducing the potential for many crop diseases. For example, in June 2024, data from the Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs, a UK government department, revealed that the most significant value rise in crop items in 2023 was in potatoes, with an increment of £237 million ($296.25 million) or 30.8% from 2022, taking the total to £1,005 million ($1.26 billion) in 2023. Hence, the escalating demand for vegetable cultivation is contributing to the growth of the fertigation and chemigation market.

How Are New Trends Impacting The Size Of The Fertigation & Chemigation Market?
Technological evolutions are becoming an increasingly prominent trend in the chemigation and fertigation industry. To maintain their competitiveness, dominant businesses in this field are introducing innovative disc models. Take for example, the Tel Aviv-based specialty minerals company which revealed eqo.x in September 2022. This revolutionary technology that swiftly biodegrades is meant for open field agriculture, aiding farmers in enhancing crop yields and mitigating environmental impact through the reduction of nitrogen waste and the boost of nutrient use efficiency (NUE) by up to 80%. It holds the unique distinction of being the sole market product providing a controlled release fertilizer (CRF) coating for urea, which disintegrates more speedily. This new method will be employed to diminish nitrogen losses in ICL's agricultural crops CRF products, such as those under the Agromaster and Agrocote brands.
