The report "COVID-19
Impact on NPK Fertilizers Market by Nutrient Type (Nitrogenous,
Phosphate, and Potash), Crop Type (Cereals & Grains, Oilseeds & Pulses,
and Fruits & Vegetables), and Region - Global Forecast to 2021", Post
COVID-19, the NPK fertilizers market size is estimated to grow from USD 87.2
billion in 2020 to USD 88.7 billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 1.8% from 2020 to
2021. The major driving factors for this market include increasing reliance on
fertilizers for crop productivity enhancement and rising crop demand for animal
feed production.
The increasing population and rising focus on food security
have made fertilizers an indispensable part of the farming system. The use of
fertilizers is also likely to increase with the expansion of farming to less
fertile areas because of competing demand for land use.

Supply chain
disruptions have affected the NPK fertilizers market.
Supply chain disruptions in the NPK fertilizers market have
affected farmers at the very beginning of the food production process, which
begins at the farm level. In some regions, lockdowns have been announced to
control the spread of COVID-19, thus hampering the movement of vehicles,
containers, and raw materials. Raw material price volatility is also a major
challenge faced by the manufacturers of NPK fertilizers due to the COVID-19
pandemic.
Shutdowns resulting
in production losses have a substantially negative impact on the NPK
fertilizers market.
Countries have entirely shut down various business and trade
operations to control the spread of COVID-19. These shutdowns have a direct
impact on the fertilizer value chain. Currently, fertilizer manufacturers are
relying on emergency stocks of raw materials, which will soon be over if the
current scenario continues to persist. The shipping industry has already been
reporting slowdowns due to the lockdown and port closures, along with further
logistical hurdles, which are projected to disrupt the supply chains in the
coming months.
