Crop Micronutrients Market – By Product Type , By Form , By Crop Type , By Application , By Geography - Opportunity Analysis & Industry Forecast, 2024-2030
Crop Micronutrients Market Overview
Crop Micronutrients Market size is forecast to reach US $8.5 billion by 2030, after growing at a CAGR of 8.1% during 2024-2030. Micronutrients play a significant role in plant growth in fertilization, flower initiations disease resistance and fruit set. Zinc, iron, manganese and chlorine are a few of the vital micronutrients for the optimum productivity of plants and development. The deficit in such micronutrients results in reduced productivity and defects in plants. The growth of agricultural production boosts the demand for micronutrients.A notable trend in the Crop Micronutrients market is micronutrient enriched fertilizers. Developing innovative fertilizers that combine essential micronutrients with macronutrients can help address deficiencies. These products can improve soil health and plant nutrition leading to higher yields and better quality crops. In August 2024, CHS Inc. introduced the New Trivar EZ, an enhanced granular micronutrient fertilizer blend that features the Levesol chelating agent, patented by CHS, that helps improve the availability of micronutrients to crops. Another trend is the use of nanotechnology. Using nanotechnology to deliver micronutrients directly to plant roots can improve nutrient uptake efficiency and reduce environmental impact.

COVID-19 / Ukraine Crisis - Impact Analysis:
- The agriculture sector felt the heat due to supply chain issues, pricing issues and market disruptions. Lockdowns impacted the restaurant, hospitality, and transportation sectors, causing the demand for fresh produce, sugar, and other raw and manufactured agricultural products to shrink as a result the demand for crop micronutrients also reduced during the pandemic.
- The market for crop micronutrients is significantly impacted by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Russia and Ukraine are both major exporters of agricultural products and raw materials. Due to supply chain disruptions caused by the conflict, the prices of agricultural inputs rose.
Key Takeaways
Zinc is the largest segment
Zinc holds a significant position in the crop micronutrients market due to several factors like, Zinc deficiency is a prevalent issue in many agricultural soils worldwide. It affects a wide range of crops, including cereals, oilseeds, and fruits. This deficiency can lead to reduced crop yields, poor quality, and increased susceptibility to diseases. Moreover, as the global population grows, there is a rising demand for increased food production. Zinc supplementation can help farmers achieve higher yields and better-quality crops, addressing this growing need. In May 2024, Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative Limited (IFFCO) received approval of zinc liquid and nano copper liquid by the Fertilizer Control Order (FCO). According to the IFFCO press release, these nanoformulations would help to address effectively the zinc and copper deficiencies in agriculture, enhancing crop production and crop quality and ultimately reducing micronutrient malnutrition.
Cereals and Grains are the Largest Segment
The largest application of crop micronutrients is in cereals and grains. This includes crops like wheat, rice, corn, and barley. According to United Nation, the world population is projected to reach 9.7 billion in 2050. Cereals and grains remain a cornerstone of the global food supply because these crops make up a substantial portion of daily caloric intake worldwide. Micronutrients play a significant role in improving the quality and quantity of these crops. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), rice, wheat and corn together account for over 90% of the world’s cereal production.. Zn deficiency is the most widespread micronutrient disorder in lowland rice and high-pH soils frequently require the addition of zinc for rice production.
APAC Dominates the market
APAC held the largest share of around 42% in the Crop Micronutrients Market in the year 2023. APAC is home to some of the world’s largest agricultural economies, such as India, China, Indonesia, and Japan. These countries have vast areas of arable land where crops are grown on a large scale. The region produces a wide variety of crops, including rice, wheat, corn, vegetables, fruits, and cash crops like tea, coffee, and cotton. As per the OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook, the Asia Pacific region is largest producer of agricultural commodities and is anticipated to account for 53% of global agriculture output by 2030. Crop production, which represents roughly 60% of total agricultural production value, is projected to grow by 22% by 2030. Micronutrients are essential for improving crop yield and quality across this diverse range of crops. Micronutrients such as zinc, boron, copper, and iron are crucial for the nutritional quality of crops, addressing both crop yield and human nutrition.
Need for Food Security to Drive the Market
The United Nations estimates that the world population will reach 8.5 billion by 2030, and by 2050 the population will be 9.7 billion. To cultivate crops on such a large scale, micronutrients are crucial. Agricultural practices are developing across the globe in order to meet the fast-increasing food demand and provide nutritious food. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a collection of 17 interlinked global goals designed to be a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. SDG2 of the UN aims for zero hunger. One of the key targets of this goal is to achieve food security through sustainability in agriculture. According to this, by 2030 the UN aims to ensure sustainable food production systems and implement resilient agricultural practices that increase productivity and production, to help maintain ecosystems and thereby improve land and soil quality. Micronutrients are used for the synthesis of vitamins and provide the required minerals. However, changing climatic conditions, the spread of crop diseases and new plant-breeding techniques require effective nutrients, and this, in turn, increases micronutrients market size.
High Cost of Micronutrient Fertilizers to hamper the Market
Micronutrient fertilizers can be costly compared to traditional fertilizers. For small-scale and resource-poor farmers, the high price of these fertilizers can be a significant barrier to adoption. In developing regions, particularly in countries with lower agricultural incomes, farmers may not be able to afford specialized micronutrient fertilizers, even though they are crucial for improving crop yields and soil health.
