According to the report, the global fertilizer additives market is likely to grow from USD 3.4 Billion in 2025 to USD 4.9 Billion in 2035 at a highest CAGR of 2.6% during the time period. As precision agricultural techniques are increasingly being used, such as variable-rate technology, it becomes possible to make good use of fertilizers, which would generate less waste and result in higher crop yields. One such example is when Corteva Agriscience introduced a new set of slow-release nitrogen stabilizers, which make nutrients more efficient and less harmful to the environment in March 2025.
Moreover, the growing concern regarding environmental sustainability has prompted an interest in green additives which can be applied to contain nutrient run-off and improve soil health. In April 2025, BASF launched a biodegradable anti-caking agent, which not only prevents the formation of clumps, but also decomposes itself, and is in line with the principles of sustainable agriculture. Moreover, the increased need to feed the rapidly increasing world population has led governments and agricultural institutions in investing in technologies that would maximize the use of fertilizers.
In May 2025, the International Fertilizer Association announced that the world will need to use 2.5 percent more fertilizer each year, another factor that drives people to use efficient additives. Fertilizer additives market is growing due to the technological progress and sustainability projects that contribute to the implementation of efficient and environmentally friendly solutions in agriculture.
“Key Driver, Restraint, and Growth Opportunity Shaping the Global Fertilizer Additives Market
The increased use of digital agriculture systems that combine soil nutrient analysis is leading to the need to demand fertilizer additives. To illustrate the role of data-driven agriculture in enhancing the utilization of sophisticated nutrient enhancers, in March 2025 the Yara piloted a precision farming initiative in Australia that relied on sensor-based soil monitoring to optimize the application of additives.
The high costs of the raw materials of specialty additives are still a hindrance to large-scale uptake, particularly with smallholder farmers. During early 2025, multiple European fertilizer producers announced higher costs of urea and polymer that limited manufacture of micronutrient and anti-caking additives, and postponed their implementation in cost-sensitive arable lands.
The growth of interest in bio-based and organic fertilizers is an excellent opportunity to innovate in terms of additives. Nutrien also demonstrated the ability of environmentally friendly solutions to generate market share in sustainable and certified organic farming niche markets by launching a bio-stimulant additive in April 2025 that is compatible with organic fertilizer formulations.
