The product types are complex fertilizers, dap, mop, urea, ssp, and other product types. The methods of application are broadcasting, drop spreading, fertigation, and foliar spray. The global chemical fertilizers market is segmented - 1) By Type: Nitrogen Fertilizer, Phosphate Fertilizer, Potash Fertilizer 2) By Crop Category: Cereals, Oilseeds, Vegetables, Fruits, Other Crop Categories 3) By Method of Application: Broadcasting, Drop Spreading, Fertigation, Foilar Spray 4) By Form: Solid, Liquid, Gaseous 5) By Product Type: Complex Fertilizers, DAP, MOP, Urea, SSP, Other Product Types The global chemical fertilizers market grew from $159.16 billion in 2022 to $169.17 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The chemical fertilizers market is expected to grow to $214.07 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 6.1%. Farmers all around the world are adopting intensive farming techniques to increase productivity per hectare. Intensive farming is an agricultural intensification and mechanization system that aims to maximize yields from available land through various means, such as heavy use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. These techniques help to meet the rising demand for food of the growing population and help to prevent food shortages. Some intensive farming techniques, such as monoculture, drive the demand for fertilizers. Monoculture is the practice of growing one type of crop intensively over a large area, thus depleting nutrients in the soil and making it heavily dependent on synthetic fertilizers. Major companies in the chemical fertilizers market include Sinopec Limited, Yara International ASA (ADR), Guardian Industries LLC, Nutrien Ltd., Marubeni, Mitsui, BASF SE, CF Industries Holdings Inc., Israel Corp Ltd., and Sinofert Holdings Limited. The fertilizer market is likely to be affected by the rising use of bio-fertilizers due to the adverse impact of synthetic fertilizers on soil and other environmental concerns. A bio-fertilizer contains living microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and algae, which are capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen or converting soluble phosphate and potash in the soil into forms available to the plants. Bio-fertilizers promote growth in plants by increasing the supply or availability of primary nutrients to the host plant. The negative effects of long-term chemical fertilizer use on the soil boosted the use of bio-fertilizers. Phosphorus is being recovered from sewage, manure, and other sources and made available as a fertilizer. Since phosphorus is a finite source, companies are looking for ways to recycle or recapture phosphorus to be used in agriculture. Plant-available phosphorus content is increased through anaerobic digestion and composting and in sludge from sewage through acid treatment and oxidation. According to research conducted by the Luke Research Agency in Finland, manure and sludge when treated appropriately can provide more phosphorus than traditional inorganic fertilizers.

Fertilizer additives are a type of chemical additive or material that is mixed with fertilizers such as urea, ammonium nitrate, calcium ammonium nitrate, and others to improve the quality and performance of the fertilizers. It is also used to prevent the loss of important macro- and micronutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, manganese, and iron, from soil and the environment. Farmers widely use it to develop healthy, nutrient-dense crops and ensure soil fertility in the long run. The main types of fertilizer additives include dust control agents, anti-caking agents, anti-foam agents, granulation agents, colorants, corrosion inhibitors, and hydrophobing agents. The term "dust control" refers to an ecological agent that is used to solidify and stabilize any soil.

The fertilizer catalysts are used in the production of fertilizers to speed up the chemical reaction. Fertilizer catalysts refer to catalyst substances that are used in fertilizer manufacturing to increase the rate of reaction and reduce the production time of fertilizers. A catalyst lowers the activation energy and allows the bonds of nitrogen and hydrogen to be more easily broken. The main products of fertilizer catalysts are iron-based, vanadium-based, platinum-based, rhodium-based, nickel-based, palladium-based, ruthenium-based, zinc-based, cobalt-based, molybdenum-based, chromium-based, and copper chromite. Molybdenum-based refers to a metallic element that resembles chromium and tungsten in many properties, is used especially in strengthening and hardening steel, and is a trace element in plant and animal metabolism. The processes used are the Haber-Bosch process, the contact process, nitric acid production, potassium fertilizer production, and urea production. The various applications involved are nitrogenous fertilizers, phosphatic fertilizers, and other applications.
