The slow-release segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

The market for slow-release fertilizers has experienced steady growth due to their inherent benefits in enhancing agricultural sustainability and productivity. The controlled and gradual nutrient release of these fertilizers aligns with precision agriculture techniques, ensuring optimal nutrient uptake by crops and minimizing wastage. This approach has gained traction as farmers seek to improve resource management, reduce nutrient runoff, and comply with stringent environmental regulations. Additionally, the rising awareness of soil health, water quality preservation, and long-term crop viability have driven the adoption of these fertilizers, making them a key component of modern farming strategies aimed at achieving both economic and environmental objectives.

The non-agriculture segment by end use emerged as a driving force in the controlled-release fertilizer market in 2022.

The non-agriculture segment has contributed to the growth of the controlled-release fertilizers market. The urban landscape's growing reliance on controlled-release fertilizers is set to propel the market's expansion. Golf courses, municipal parks, residential complexes, and other non-agricultural areas seek sustainable solutions that controlled-release fertilizers can provide. This dominance aligns with the broader trend of urbanization and the corresponding need for environmentally friendly, efficient, and visually appealing landscaping solutions.

In urban areas, aesthetics and visual appeal hold significant importance. Controlled-release fertilizers contribute to lush and vibrant green spaces that enhance the overall aesthetics of urban environments. Moreover, the slow and controlled nutrient release of these fertilizers results in reduced application frequency, translating to fewer maintenance cycles for landscapers, golf course managers, and homeowners. This efficiency appeals to non-agricultural users seeking to streamline operations.
