The Asia Pacific controlled release fertilizers market is led by China and India. In 2014, China accounted for the majority share of the overall consumption of controlled release fertilizers and was closely followed by India and Japan. Together, these countries held a share of around 87% of its overall demand in this region that year.
Over the coming years, the demand for controlled release fertilizers is expected to increase at a faster rate than conventional fertilizers in these countries. However, the lack of awareness regarding the benefits offered by these fertilizers and their high cost will limit their application in other regions, which is why they are likely to witness a moderate growth in their adoption in the agriculture and the horticulture sectors.
Controlled release fertilizers are heavily utilized in the cultivation of oilseeds and pulses, cereals and grains, and fruits and vegetables. These fertilizers are also used to grow turf and ornamental plants. Among these, farmers mostly use these fertilizers in cereals and grain crops.
