Germany Fertilizer Market Research Report, 2027

Throughout human history, fertilisers have been the main source of nutrients for plant cultivation. The plant produces more biomass as a result of fertiliser application, increasing yields. The concept of product and nutrient stewardship has been established and prioritised by the fertiliser industry in Germany. In addition, the industry optimises fertiliser use to reduce harmful effects and sets guidelines for the environmental footprint of various products. Interestingly, the fertiliser market is currently quite competitive. Furthermore, because of the extensive international commerce in fertilisers, German producers of fertilisers compete not only within the continent but on a worldwide scale. The country of Germany is the fourth largest producer in the agricultural sector in the European Union. They also have more than 200 million farm animals for which 50% of the farming land comprises of grasslands and arable land that is used for feeding purposes. According to the research report titled "Germany Fertilizer Market Research Report, 2027", published by Actual Market Research, the market is expected to grow in the future with a CAGR of 4.75% till the year 2027. This growth rate is an increase from the previous period of 2016 to 2021, which shows that the market is still creating opportunities for businesses. Contradictory to the global trend in other markets, the German fertiliser market has the majority of the fertilisers being manufactured by potash, which is a category of fertiliser in the segment by nutrients, which also includes other categories such as nitrogenous, phosphatic and complex nutrients. Potash fertilisers make up the majority of the market segment due to the fact that these kinds of fertilisers help with increasing disease resistance, drought tolerance, and improving the plumpness of the grains and seed. And as the country majorly produces grains in the agricultural sector, this specific nutrient type is in demand. These grains include barley, wheat, and rye, all of which are from the same family. This high production of grains makes the cereals and grains segment by application type one of the largest segments, with a market share pertaining to around 40% of the total market in the year of 2022. This segment further includes categories like vegetables & fruits, oilseeds & pulses, along with the other categories where crops produced for other industries are taken into account, for example, cotton for the textile industry. Other than grains, some of the prominent crops in Germany are vegetables like potatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers. It is clear from the above context that the fertiliser market produces different products with different nutrients for various different agricultural products, thus giving rise to another segment, which is the product type. This segment includes AS, Urea, CAN, DAP, MAP, and MOP, complex products and other segments. Out of all of these, the most prominent fertiliser product in the country is that of the MOP fertilizers, which stands for Muriate of Potash. These fertilisers are used to stimulate strong stems and give the plant some disease resistance by thickening the outer cell wall. This is the reason this product sits well with grain production, which is a highly produced agriculture product in the country and in turn increases their demand for the fertilizer. Climate change is one of the major factors driving the fertiliser market in the future, as Germany is said to experience longer dry seasons and more areas affected by draught. Potash and phosphate fertilisers help with making these plants more resistant to drought, providing longer health for the dry seasons. This is also accompanied by the country's increasing population, which demands increased cultivation of crops, which in turn positively affects the fertiliser market. Like the rest of Europe, the German fertiliser market is also affected by the rising prices of the minerals used for making fertilizers, which in turn drive the cost of the crops and vegetables, which circulate back into the economy. Further, the rising prices of natural gas used for the application of fertilisers is going up day by day, because of which the farmers are choosing to cut costs along with using fewer fertilizers, which decreases the demand. Due to the commodities' priority status, COVID-19's impact on the fertiliser market in Germany has been negligible. But the supply of the raw materials and the export of fertilisers from the German market have been significantly impacted by supply chain disruptions brought on by trade restrictions. However, in 2021, the market continued to grow during the pandemic because of the vaccine rollout's good pace, low third wave impact, and insignificant impact of supply chain interruptions.

Initially, secondary research was used to get an understanding of the market and listing out the companies that are present in the market. The secondary research consists of third party sources such as press releases, annual report of companies, analysing the government generated reports and databases. After gathering the data from secondary sources primary research was conducted by making telephonic interviews with the leading players about how the market is functioning and then conducted trade calls with dealers and distributors of the market. Post this we have started doing primary calls to consumers by equally segmenting consumers in regional aspects, tier aspects, age group, and gender. Once we have primary data with us we have started verifying the details obtained from secondary sources. Intended audience This report can be useful to industry consultants, manufacturers, suppliers, associations & organizations related to fertilizer industry, government bodies and other stakeholders to align their market-centric strategies. In addition to marketing & presentations, it will also increase competitive knowledge about the industry.
