Major factors such as rising demand for grain crops across the globe coupled with continuously reducing arable land is expected to boost the market for fertilizers. Additionally, food demand is estimated to increase prominently over the forecast period, as global population shall double by 2050.
Furthermore, in countries such as Indonesia, India, China, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan, declining freshwater supplies combined with inadequate water infrastructure will drive the demand for wastewater treatment facilities, which would enhance calcium nitrate sales throughout the forecast period.
Segment Analysis
By Grade Type
The market is segmented as agriculture, greenhouse, fertigation, and liquid. In terms of value and volume, the agriculture segment accounted for more than 33% share of the market in 2021, and it is estimated to register the highest growth during the forecast period as well.
The growth of the segment is owing to the use of agricultural-grade calcium nitrate as a fertilizer ingredient, wherein it reduces soil acidity and aids in the enhancement of fruit quality and shelf life.
Furthermore, the demand for calcium nitrate in greenhouses is likely to skyrocket. This product grade is expected to see increased demand from places where greenhouse farming is common in the coming years.
By Application Type
The market is segmented as fertilizers, wastewater treatment chemicals, concrete manufacturing, explosives, and others. Fertilizers dominated the market in 2021, and the segment is expected to maintain its command over the forecast period as well.
The growth of the segment is owing to the fact that calcium nitrate is extensively used as fertilizer ingredient in the agriculture industry. Containing nitrogen and calcium, which are the important nourishment elements for plants, calcium nitrate fertilizers, increase yield and quality, extending the storage life of fruits, and build up resistance to disease and pests.
By Region
Asia-Pacific shares more than 40% market in 2021 and is estimated to maintain its supremacy during the forecast period. The growth of the region is supported by the increased demand for calcium nitrate as an ingredient for domestic fertilizer in industries in developing economies, such as China and India.
Furthermore, as the world's population continues to grow, so would the demand for food. And to meet this ever-rising demand, better agricultural goods would always be required; this, in turn, will drive the fertilizer product demand, assisting the growth of the market over the forecast period.
