The growth of the specialty fertilizers market is primarily driven by the diminishing availability of arable land, the increasing demand for food due to population growth, rising environmental concerns, and supportive government policies. However, high production costs remain a significant barrier to market expansion.
One promising aspect of this market is the increasing adoption of precision farming technologies, which presents growth opportunities. Nevertheless, a lack of awareness among farmers about these technologies poses a challenge for stakeholders. Additionally, the integration of nanotechnology in agriculture is emerging as a key trend.
