Lucintel, a leading global management consulting and market
research firm, has analyzed the global fertilizers industry and presents its findings in “Global Fertilizers
Industry 2012-2017: Trend, Profit, and Forecast Analysis.”
The
fertilizers industry is highly fragmented and is dependent upon crop yield, farmer awareness, and availability of
credit. Competitive rivalry is high due to inability of companies to differentiate their products, switching cost
is low, and fixed costs are high. APAC dominates the industry.
Lucintel’s research indicates that research and development costs continue to rise due to the increasing
regulatory burden, complexity of the products, and individual sales of various segments of fertilizers heavily
depend on climatic conditions and crop variance. The global population growth and the importance of a nutritious
diet are expected to drive the growth of the world fertilizer consumption.
