DUBLIN, September 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
The "Global Liquid Fertilizers Market - Growth, Trends and Forecasts 2017 - 2022" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.
The latest news of a possible merger between the two Canadian fertilizer giants Agrium Inc. and Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc. would result in a crop nutrient giant worth USD 27 billion.
Liquid fertilizers are the most efficient way of delivering the required nutrients to plants at the correct time and in optimal concentration. Some of the major factors driving the market are the demand for increased crop yield to feed the expanding population, need for high-efficiency organic fertilizers, easy usage and application of liquid fertilizers and adoption of sustainable agricultural practices by farmers.
Restrictions in the supply chain, increasing concerns over health and environmental degradation, the high cost of handling and storage, inadequate awareness among the farmers and strict regulatory framework are some of the restraints of the market. Major opportunities for market growth lie in the emerging economies of the developing countries.
Top companies are making strategic investments in the liquid fertilizer markets. Tessenderlo Groups business unit Tessenderlo Kerley International (TKI) has been continuously expanding its capacity of liquid sulfur-based fertilizers in the US.
Most recently, it has made a strategic investment in liquid fertilizers in Europe to strengthen its market position by constructing a Thio-Sul (ammonium thiosulphate / ATS) manufacturing plant in France which is due for operation in 2017, indicating the high demand of liquid fertilizers in the coming years.
