One of the most important nutrients for plants is nitrogen. Although it is naturally present in the air, only a small number of plants can absorb it. It is therefore synthetically supplied to plants in the form of nitrogenous fertilizers. Because they can support rapid growth, nitrogenous fertilizers are rapidly gaining popularity in the global agriculture sector. These fertilizers also promote healthy growth of both foliage and fruits. You can find nitrogenous fertilizers in liquid, solid, or other forms, such as pelleted or granular.

Inorganic nitrous compounds are nitrogenous fertilizers. They are used primarily to increase the quality, growth, and texture of crops. The primary building block of protoplasm, nitrogen, is also involved in photosynthesis. These fertilizers typically contain various amounts of ammonium, ammonium sulfate, calcium ammonium-nitrate and urea. They are also mixed with animal manure. They can be used in small amounts to enhance flower differentiation, stimulate shoot growth, produce healthy flower buds, and improve the quality of fruit.

According to Market.us, “The nitrogenous fertilizer market size is expected to be worth around USD 117.20 billion by 2032 from USD 56.84 billion in 2021, growing at a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2032.

Anurag Sharma, the senior research analyst at market.us, said, Market growth is driven by the increasing population and shrinking arable land around the world. Another factor that drives growth is the adoption of favorable government policies encouraging the use of advanced fertilizers for higher yield. A significant rise in crop demand has also been experienced to meet the rapidly growing global population. This has led to a greater adoption of advanced fertilizers to improve soil fertility and increase yields of crops like corn, rice, and sugarcane.”

Urea-ammonium-nitrate is a popular type of nitrogenous crop growth enhancer. This is due to its compatibility with pesticides and herbicides as well as other nutrients. Liquid fertilizers allow farmers to save money by using multiple crop protection and production products at once, rather than applying them in separate applications. 

Because they are easier to apply than other forms of nitrogenous fertilizers, urea-ammonium-nitrate solutions have been widely used as a source for nitrogen for plants. Urea-ammonium nitrogen nitrate is compatible with many agricultural chemicals. It is often mixed with solutions that contain phosphorus, potassium and other essential nutrients.

Anhydrous ammonia contains the highest amount of nitrogen (82.0%) of all the nitrogenous fertilizers. It also has readily available nitrogen in NH3. Anhydrous ammonia had a global market worth USD 1.36 billion in 2021. It consumed 2.8 million tons. Anhydrous ammonia is not permitted to be used as fertilizer in North America. It is most commonly used in the corn belts of the region, which is a high-nitrogen-consuming crop.

Commercial agriculture is the main driver of the global market for nitrogenous fertilizers. The demand for food products is growing rapidly due to the increasing population. The demand for nitrogenous fertilizers is increasing worldwide because they provide the necessary nutrition to crops and increase yields. 

Market growth is being accelerated by the increasing use of nitrogenous fertilizers in various agricultural products, such as vegetables, cottons and fruits. Because there are so many seasonal crops, there is a demand for nitrogenous crops. Climate is a major factor in the production levels of the crops. It determines the demand and supply for nitrogenous fertilizers based on the season.

The market for nitrogenous fertilizers is expected to grow due to rising knowledge among farmers about soil characteristics and nutrition balance, increasing popularity of commercial agriculture worldwide and low-cost fertilizers production. There are also rising demands for agrochemicals. The market will be protected by an increase in productivity and the need to close the gaps between fertilizer intensity and yield across nations.

All over the globe, major farmers are increasing their use of nitrogenous fertilizers. This is due to a growing awareness of soil profile and nutritional balance. In the coming years, nitrogenous fertilizers will be more popular due to the increasing need to increase productivity and fill in the fertilizer intensity gaps.
