North America Specialty Fertilizers Market Size

The demand for specialized fertilizers continues to increase as they prove to be an efficient alternative to conventional fertilizers. Specialty fertilizers are based on the principle of increasing the nutrient uptake in plants and reducing the nutrient losses to the environment. Compared to normal industrial fertilizers, the environmental effect of specialty fertilizers is less, and they are also resource- and labour-saving.

Growing cities require a perfect balance of the ‘concrete jungle’ and urban green spaces for the ideal living atmosphere. Urban green spaces such as lawns, parks, golf courses, and other recreational facilities call for the cultivation of high-quality horticulture and, as such, demand Specialty Fertilizers that are efficient in safeguarding the environment as well.

The major driver of the North American specialty fertilizers market is decreasing land availability. North America is the most developed region globally, and as such, the amount of cultivable land is very less. The population of the region is growing, and the region needs to feed itself. This demands a higher rate of production per acre, paving the way for the use of specialty fertilizers. The major restraint for the market in the region is the accumulation of salts in the soil. Although comparatively more environmentally friendly as compared to normal fertilizers, most specialty fertilizers are salt-based and, as such, pose the threat of increasing the salt content of the soil due to extensive use. This could hamper the productivity of the soil. The higher costs associated with the use of specialty fertilizers are also another factor.
