The starter fertilizers market, estimated at USD 6.37 billion in 2015, is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.04%, to reach USD 8.33 billion by 2022. The market is primarily driven by factors such as increased area under forage & turf grasses, widening applicability of starter fertilizers, and increased expenditure in R&D by the starter fertilizer manufacturers. The high growth potential in the Asia-Pacific region and untapped regions provide new growth opportunities for the market players. One of the major restrain in the growth of the starter fertilizers market is limited usage of starter fertilizer solution in field crop production. In the production of field crops, the use of starter fertilizers is limited due to the availability of other suitable types of fertilizers. The application of these fertilizers is limited to the purpose of strengthening roots of a plant at the early stages of production.
