FERTIGATION & CHEMIGATION MARKET OVERVIEW

The global fertigation & chemigation market size was valued at USD 3.29 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 4.99 billion by 2034, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 4.72% from 2025 to 2034.

The United States Fertigation & Chemigation Market size is projected at USD 1.05 Billion in 2025, the Europe Fertigation & Chemigation Market size is projected at USD 0.79 Billion in 2025, and the China Fertigation & Chemigation Market size is projected at USD 1.03 Billion in 2025.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the Global Fertigation & Chemigation Market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The slow delivery of nutrients and water on or below the soil using surface drip, subsurface drip, bubbler, and micro-sprinkler systems is known as fertilization and chemigation. Fertigation and chemical treatments have several benefits, including little water waste, little labour demand, and the ability to defend against drought circumstances, all of which contribute to the market's expansion. The market for fertigation and chemigation has been growing as a result of the world's growing water shortage, as well as the significant advancements and initiatives made by emerging economies through water replenishment and programs.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

 Imposed Restrictions in the Economy Resulted in Decline in the Market

The COVID-19 outbreak caused temporary business closures as well as supply chain and manufacturing disruptions, which in turn reduced the development of telecom infrastructure and had a negative effect on the sales and marketing efforts of rugged phone companies competing in the market. The effects were severe, particularly for startups and small- to medium-sized businesses operating in this industry. Companies did, however, make a lot of restructuring efforts to address the supply chain difficulties and improve collaboration with suppliers and partners to lessen the negative market impact.

LATEST TRENDS

Growth of the market in recent years

Fertigation is a technique for applying fertilizer in which the nutrients are infused into irrigation water and delivered via a drip system. Micro irrigation and fertilization provide the potential to control nutrients specifically in addition to water. A key advantage of fertigation over traditional broadcast treatments is that it offers more flexibility and control over the applied nutrients. Fertilizer solution is dispersed during fertigation via the irrigation system. The extremely high availability of the nutrients boosts this method's effectiveness. This method uses both liquid and water-soluble fertilisers, and both are more effective since the nutrients are delivered through fertigation close to the active root zone, resulting in increased absorption by the plant.

• According to government subsidy programs (e.g. India’s PMKSY micro‑irrigation scheme), over 2 million hectares of farmland were registered for drip or fertigation installations in recent years, reflecting a strong national push toward efficient nutrient delivery.

• Per a UNFCCC and FAO advisory report, real‑time moisture and nutrient sensors are present in over 25% of new fertigation deployments among commercial horticulture farms, enabling precision dosing and reducing waste.

FERTIGATION & CHEMIGATION MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the Global Fertigation & Chemigation Market is classified as Fertilizer, Herbicide, Insecticide, Fungicide

By Application

Based on application the Global Fertigation & Chemigation Market is classified as Agricultural, Landscape, Greenhouse

DRIVING FACTORS

The Utilization as a Catalyst to Boost the Market Growth

These more advanced methods of fertilization and nutrient supply use less water and labour than older ones. Thus, by improving fertilizer usage efficiency, lowering fertiliser application, and increasing returns on fertilizer investment, these strategies provide a significant potential to maximise agricultural output and decrease environmental pollution. Additionally, since many countries are already experiencing groundwater depletion, the planet faces a significant risk of future water scarcity. Since there will be less water available for agriculture in the future, it is crucial to use it effectively. As a result, the market is anticipated to grow throughout the forecast period.

• Studies by FAO and USDA show fertigation systems deliver 80–90% fertilizer utilization, compared to lower efficiency in broadcast methods, reducing both input waste and environmental runoff

• In India, more than 70% of smallholder farmers adopting fertigation systems benefit from 50% equipment subsidies under national micro‑irrigation subsidy schemes.

Extensive Application in Laundering Process to Multiply the Production and Market Growth

The market segment for drip irrigation is anticipated to experience the greatest CAGR over the forecast period. Subsurface drip irrigation techniques are mostly employed in these nations to increase the production of feed corn. The market for micro-irrigation systems has seen greater revenues globally as a result of the significant financial savings that emerge from this. In China, drip fertigation is commonly used to grow fruit and vegetable plants, however there isn't a reliable, practical, or affordable drip fertigation system for growing maize. However, it has been discovered that in sandy soil, fertigation of maize increases maize production, water and nutrient usage efficiency, and economic benefit simultaneously. The demand for these fertigation solutions is predicted to increase in the upcoming year along with the adoption of irrigation practises.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Several Challenges Associated with the Local Irritation to Restrain the Market

In developing nations like India, China, and Brazil, the government is attempting to implement various innovations to minimize water usage and increase agricultural productivity. Nearly 48.8% of India's agricultural land is under irrigation. The Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana's (PMKSY-PDMC) Per Drop More Crop Component was put into place by the Department of Agriculture, Cooperation, and Farmers' Welfare. Through micro irrigation, including drip and sprinkler irrigation systems, the PMKSY-PDMC aims to increase water use efficiency at the farm level. Therefore, there are several potentials for this fertigation and chemigation products to grow as farmers depend more on irrigation methods.

• Industry analyses indicate that setting up fertigation systems (including pumps, filters, dosing units) can cost up to 30–40% more per hectare than conventional irrigation, limiting uptake among small-scale farmers.

• Reports estimate 25–30% of system failures arise from improper calibration or lack of trained operators, particularly in rural regions lacking technical support.
