Japan Controlled Release Fertilizers Market Size, Trends & Analysis - Forecasts to 2029 By Coating Type (Polymer Coated, Polymer-sulfur Coated, and Others) and By Crop Type (Field Crops, Horticultural Crops, and Turf & Ornamental), Competitive Landscape, Company Market Share Analysis, and End User Analysis
The Japan controlled release fertilizers market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2024 to 2029.
Japan's agricultural sector tries to increase productivity to fulfill demographic demands. Controlled release fertilizers (CRF) provide a precise nitrogen delivery strategy, maximizing crop uptake and yields. This method optimizes nutrient consumption throughout the plant's growth cycle, reducing waste and environmental effects. CRF, which reduces runoff and improves soil health, accords with Japan's priorities for sustainable practices. With the rising demand for high-quality produce, CRF offers a solution for increased agricultural efficiency and environmental stewardship in Japan's farming landscape.
CRF technology reduces nutrient runoff and leaching, which helps minimize environmental pollution and protect water bodies. Given Japan's emphasis on sustainability and environmental care, CRF adoption is consistent with these objectives. CRF's controlled release technique guarantees crops absorb nutrients efficiently, improving soil health and reducing waste.
Government activities supporting sustainable agriculture and environmental protection encourage the use of CRF. Subsidies, incentives, and legislation that promote ecologically friendly agriculture methods encourage farmers to switch to CRF. These measures help to link farming methods with environmental goals, resulting in effective fertilizer management and reduced environmental impact. Governments encourage the implementation of CRF by providing financial support and regulatory frameworks, supporting sustainable agriculture and resolving environmental issues.
CRF technology sometimes demands a greater initial investment than conventional fertilizers, which may dissuade some farmers, mainly small-scale farmers, from using it.
The polymer coated segment is expected to hold the largest share of the market over the forecast period. This expected growth is due to the polymer coated CRF's capacity to provide controlled nutrient delivery over a long period, enabling efficient crop absorption. Polymer-coated CRF offers benefits such as reduced nutrient leaching and increased soil health, which are consistent with Japan's emphasis on sustainable farming techniques and environmental preservation.
The polymer-sulfur coated segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment in the market from 2024 to 2029. The growth is attributed to the segment's capacity to deliver a steady and consistent release of nutrients, particularly sulfur, which is critical for crop health. Furthermore, the polymer-sulfur coating improves nutrient efficiency and soil fertility, prompting its growing popularity among Japanese farmers looking to improve agricultural production and sustainability.
The horticultural crops segment is anticipated to be the fastest-growing segment in the market from 2024 to 2029. This growth is driven by rising demand for high-value crops such as fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals. Horticultural crops require precise nutrition management for optimal development and quality, making CRF technology appealing. The use of CRF in horticulture corresponds with Japan's emphasis on sustainable agriculture and high-quality food.
The field crops segment is expected to hold the largest share of the market. In Japan, field crops such as rice, wheat, and barley are heavily cultivated, driving this trend forward. With the need to improve productivity and sustainability in field crop cultivation, the use of CRF technology provides better nutrient management, higher yields, and lower environmental impact, all of which contribute to the segment's growth.
Nufarm,Seiwa Fertilizer Ind. Co., Ltd., JNC Corporation, JCAM Agri. Co., Ltd., ICL Specialty Fertilizers, Koch Industries, Haifa Chemicals, SK Specialties, AgroLiquid, and Helena Chemical, among others, are some of the key players operating in the Japan controlled release fertilizers market.
Please note: This is not an exhaustive list of companies profiled in the report.
In September 2022, ICL introduced eqo.x, a ground-breaking controlled-release urea technology designed for open-field agriculture to boost crop performance while reducing environmental impact. This innovative solution, achieved through a rapidly biodegradable coating, enhances nutrient use efficiency by up to 80%.
