The controlled-release fertilizers market was valued at USD 2,189.8 Million in 2014 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% for the period reaching a value of USD 3231.40 Million by 2020. In terms of volume, the coated & encapsulated fertilizers segment is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR of 6.6% for the forecasted period.

Controlled-release fertilizers are granulated fertilizers, usually packed in polymers or resins, and release nutrients over a specific period of time. They are even known as time-release fertilizers. These fertilizers follow the principle of covering a conventional soluble fertilizer with a protective layer of a water-insoluble, semi permeable material. Penetration of water can be controlled by such a coating, and hence the rate of dissolution of nutrition release is synchronized with the plant's need.

North American region was the largest market for controlled-release fertilizers, in 2014. However, the Asia-Pacific region market is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR of 7.7% from the period.

The market is driven by factors such as high efficiency in crop production, reduced application cost, environment-friendly properties; ease of application and others. Growth in population and the increasing demand for food products and shortage of arable land in countries in Asia-Pacific region has resulted in increase of the controlled-release fertilizers market in the region.

The key players of Controlled-Release Fertilizers Market are undertaking critical decisions of acquisitions, expansions, new product developments and investments to maintain their position in the market.
