Australia Micronutrient Fertilizers Market, By Crop Type [Cereals & Oilseeds, Fruits & Vegetables, Rest (Crops)], By Type [Zinc, Copper, Iron, Manganese, Boron, Molybdenum, Calcium, Others], By Form, By Application Mode, & By Geography, Trends and Forecast to 2019

The Australian micronutrient fertilizers market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2014 to 2019. Micronutrient deficiency in soil has emerged as one of the major constraints to crop productivity. While zinc, iron, boron, and manganese deficient areas are vast, copper and molybdenum deficiency has also been observed in many regions of Australia. The problem has emerged due to the increasing demand for food, which increases the demand for crops, and thus, agriculture production. This results in extensive use of soil, which makes the soil deficient in various micronutrients.

 
Micronutrient fertilizers are used to achieve better results by increasing the productivity of soil and fulfilling the deficiency of different micronutrients in soil. The major micronutrients that are essential for the normal growth and development of crops are zinc, copper, iron, manganese, boron, calcium, and molybdenum. Several other micronutrients, such as chlorine, nickel, and cobalt are also needed, but in very minute quantities.

The Australian micronutrient fertilizers market is dominated by New South Wales, followed by South Australia and Victoria. New South Wales is an economically important state in Australia. This area is involved in large scale production of wine grapes, which needs good supply of micronutrients from soil. This has increased the demand for micronutrient fertilizers in New South Wales. While the South Australian agriculture sector is flourishing, the soil in the region suffers from major micronutrient deficiency adding to the demand of micronutrient fertilizers. Queensland and Victoria are the other major shareholders in the agriculture sector of the Australian micronutrient fertilizers market. They contribute largely in the cereals, oilseeds, and fruits application segments of the market. 

The Australian micronutrient fertilizers market is a competitive market, with firms such as Yara International (Norway), The Mosaic Company (U.S.), AkzoNobel N.V. (Netherlands), BASF SE (Germany), Cheminova A/S (Denmark), Agrium Inc. (Canada), Incitec Pivot Fertilizers Ltd. (Australia), and Haifa (Israel) active in the market. And to gain the market shares, these companies adopt numerous market strategies that include innovative product development, partnerships, mergers & acquisitions, and expansion of existing facilities. Apart from these companies, there are various other local firms present in the Australian micronutrient fertilizers market.

The decline in fertility of soil due to extensive farming, resulting in increasing micronutrient deficiency in soil, has fueled the demand for micronutrient fertilizers. Australia suffers from large scale micronutrient deficiency due to variation in pH of soil in different states. The reducing availability of arable land area has added to the demand for micronutrient fertilizers to fulfill the demand of the ever-growing population. The increase in aeroponics and hydroponics crop production technology has also contributed to the demand of micronutrient fertilizers in Australia. 

Micronutrients are elements needed by plants in minuscule amounts; these elements are also known as minor elements or trace elements. Some major micronutrients are boron, copper, iron, calcium, manganese, molybdenum, and zinc. Micronutrient fertilizers tackle the deficiency of these micronutrients in soil by adding micronutrients to the soil applied by different application modes such as soil, foliar, and fertigation. The cereals & oilseeds and fruits & vegetables are the crop-types with the largest demand for micronutrient fertilizers in Australia.

The objective of this report is to identify various application modes and usage patterns across industries and to analyze the complete ecosystem of the Australia micronutrient fertilizers market. It involves an in-depth analysis of the market segmentation, which comprises micronutrient fertilizers type, crop-type, form, application mode, and geography covered. The report also provides a deep insight into the strategies of key players of the market.

The Australia micronutrient fertilizers market was valued at $111.3 million in 2014 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2014 to 2019. The concerned market is segmented with respect to different type, application mode, crop-type, form, and geography. The application mode includes soil, foliar, fertigation, and others. The soil application mode segment has the largest share in 2014. On the basis of different crop-type, the market is segmented into cereals & oilseeds, fruits & vegetables, and rest (crops). In 2014, cereals & oilseeds are the largest crop-type segment of the micronutrient fertilizers market in Australia.
