The fertilizing and plant protection equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $71.76 billion in 2023 to $76.79 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The historical growth in this period can be attributed to the increase in commercial farming, government subsidies and policies, environmental concerns, the adoption of precision agriculture, and regulations on chemical pesticides.
The fertilizing and plant protection equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $97.81 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to a shift towards sustainable agriculture, the growth of precision agriculture, regulatory changes in pesticides, an increasing adoption of organic farming, and the integration of automation and AI. Major trends in the forecast period include the emergence of smart sensors, remote monitoring and control, efficiency in application techniques, advanced biological pest control, and a demand for customization.
The anticipated growth in fertilizing and plant protection equipment is expected to be driven by the increasing global food consumption and population. Global food consumption, representing the total amount of food and calories consumed by people, is on the rise. Fertilizing and plant protection equipment play a vital role in protecting plants and enhancing crop yields. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, the world population grew by 0.9% in 2021 and is projected to surpass 8 billion in 2022. Additionally, the United States Department of Agriculture reported that US food production reached 182.7 million hundredweight, with a projected 10% increase in imports, reaching a record 38.0 million hundredweight in 2022. Hence, the increasing inclination toward global food consumption and population growth is expected to be a driving force for the fertilizing and plant protection equipment market.
The growth of the fertilizing and plant protection equipment market is expected to be fueled by the emphasis on increasing crop yield. Crop yield, denoting the quantity of agricultural produce harvested from a specific area over a defined period, is a critical factor in agriculture. Advanced technologies, including fertilization and plant protection equipment, are integral to optimizing nutrient delivery, managing pests, and improving overall crop health. These technologies enable efficient and sustainable practices aimed at maximizing yields. For example, according to a report by gov.uk in October 2023, the UK witnessed a 6.1% increase in the harvest of barley to 7.4 million tonnes in 2022, and the harvest of wheat saw an 11% rise to 15.5 million tonnes compared to the previous year. Thus, the increasing focus on enhancing crop yield is identified as a significant driver for the growth of the fertilizing and plant protection equipment market.
Technological advancements emerge as a prominent trend in the fertilizing and plant protection equipment market, with major companies actively pursuing innovative agricultural technologies to fortify their market positions. An example of this trend is illustrated by Greeneye Technology, an Israel-based agriculture and crop protection technology company. In October 2021, the company introduced an AI-enabled precision spraying technology that can accurately detect and spray weeds. This technology contributes to reducing chemical usage in agriculture, enhancing productivity, and increasing profitability for farmers. It stands out with its precision spraying capabilities, ensuring accuracy even at the travel speed of broadcast spraying, which is 20 km/h, without compromising productivity.
Companies operating in the fertilizing and plant protection equipment market are also focusing on product innovation to enhance profitability. A notable development is seen in the introduction of insecticide/biofungicide premixes. These are crop protection products that combine insecticides and biofungicides to safeguard crops from pests and diseases. The integration of insecticide/biofungicide premixes with fertilizing and plant protection equipment aims to strike a balance between crop nutrition and effective pest and disease control, promoting sustainable and efficient farming practices. For instance, FMC Corporation, a US-based chemical company, launched Ethos Elite LFR in November 2023. This insecticide/biofungicide premix, formulated with FMC's Liquid Fertilizer Ready (LFR) technology, allows mixing in a tank with pop-up fertilizers, liquid starters, and water, and is compatible with other crop protection products.
In July 2022, CNH Industrial, a UK-based agricultural machinery company, acquired Specialty Enterprises LLC, a US-based agricultural spray boom and sprayer boom accessory manufacturer, for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition is expected to enhance CNH Industrial's in-house capabilities, facilitating the accelerated development and deployment of new technologies in the agricultural machinery sector.
