增加肥料的需求以提高生產力
隨著世界人口和糧食需求的增加,對提高農產品產量和產量的方法的需求不斷成長。聯合國糧食及農業組織預計,2021年全球農業用地面積約為478120.49億平方公里。全球各地的生產者廣泛使用化學肥料來提高農業產量。
根據聯合國糧農組織統計,2021年全球每公頃耕地化肥消耗量達139.8公斤。化肥消耗量佔全球化肥料總產量的91.1%。過度使用合成肥料會導致土壤退化和環境污染。矽肥為提高作物產量提供了更永續的方法。它們可以幫助植物更有效地利用水和養分,從而在不損害環境的情況下提高產量,並推動市場成長。
矽肥的永續發展方法
與傳統肥料相比,矽肥料提供了一種更環保的方式來提高產量。它們透過減少淋濾而減少環境足跡,促進土壤健康,並有可能減少肥料的整體使用。它們可以幫助植物更有效地利用水和養分,從而在不損害環境的情況下提高產量。透過強化植物細胞壁,矽可以增強作物對乾旱和高溫等各種環境壓力的適應能力。
矽可以改善水果和蔬菜的物理特性,使其在運輸和儲存過程中更能抵抗損壞,從而減少採後損失並提高利潤。它們改善植物健康和復原力,增強抗逆性並提高水分利用效率。矽肥產量的持續提高推動了市場的成長。
對矽肥缺乏認知
許多農民,特別是那些小規模經營的農民,依賴傳統做法和既定的施肥程序。大多數地區農民習慣使用一些氮、磷、鉀肥料,對採用新產品猶豫不決。此外,對矽益處的科學認知與其在農場的實際應用之間存在差距。關於矽肥的研究可能無法有效地惠及農民。
矽肥的好處(例如提高抗逆性和抗病性)可能不會立即明顯或容易量化。這使得農民很難將矽肥的使用與產量或利潤的直接提高聯繫起來。農民意識和成本意識的缺乏阻礙了各地區的市場拓展。

Fertilizers help in plant growth enhancement by providing them with proper nutrients. Silicon strengthens plant cell walls, making them more resistant to various environmental stresses, and can help farmers increase yields. According to NIH, silicon is the second most abundant element in the earth's crust with a mean share of 28.8% mostly ranging between 50 and 400 g Si kg-1 of soil. It is a bioactive beneficial element and a versatile player in plant growth.
The use of silicon fertilizers for the sustainable approach to higher yields along with its ability to improve stress tolerance and enhance the quality of crops are positively impacting the market expansion. Growing research and development activities and investigation studies that show the beneficiary effects of silicon fertilizer on the agricultural yield are improving the market penetration in various regions.
Asia-Pacific dominated the market with government support in the region by providing sufficient funds for fertilizer subsidies for developing countries. For instance, according to the Fertilizer Association of India, the government had budgeted Rs.1,05,222 crores for fertilizer subsidies during the year 2022-23. The Budget allocation for fertilizer subsidy is Rs.1,75,103 crore for the year 2023-24. The high support from the government agencies is improving fertilizer use in India.
Dynamics
Increasing Demand For Fertilizers To Improve The Productivity
With the increasing world population and food demand, there is a growing demand for approaches to improve the production and yield of agricultural produce. Food and Agriculture Organization estimated that the world's agricultural land accounted for about 47,812,049 million sq. km in 2021. Farmers widely use fertilizers are producers around the globe to improve the output of farming.
According to FAO, the world fertilizer consumption reached 139.8 kilograms per hectare of arable land in 2021. 91.1 % of fertilizer is consumed to the total fertilizer produced in the world. Overuse of synthetic fertilizers can contribute to soil degradation and environmental pollution. Silicon fertilizers offer a more sustainable approach to improving crop yields. They can help plants utilize water and nutrients more efficiently, leading to higher yields without harming the environment, and driving the market growth.
Sustainable Approach of Silicon Fertilizers
Silicon fertilizers offer a more eco-friendly way to boost yields compared to traditional fertilizers. They have a lower environmental footprint by less leaching, promoting soil health, and potential for reduced overall fertilizer use. They can help plants utilize water and nutrients more efficiently, leading to higher production without harming the environment. By strengthening plant cell walls, silicon enhances a crop's resilience to various environmental stresses like drought and high temperatures.
Silicon can improve the physical properties of fruits and vegetables, making them more resistant to damage during transport and storage, leading to reduced post-harvest losses and higher profits. They improve plant health and resilience, enhance stress tolerance and improve water use efficiency. The sustainable yield improvement of silicon fertilizers drives market growth.
Lack of Awareness About Silicon Fertilizers
Many farmers, especially those with small-scale operations, rely on traditional practices and established fertilizer routines. Most regional farmers are habituated to the use of some nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers and are hesitant to adopt a new product. In addition, there is a gap between the scientific understanding of silicon's benefits and its practical application on farms. Research on silicon fertilizers might not be reaching farmers effectively.
The benefits of silicon fertilizers like improved stress tolerance and disease resistance might not be immediately noticeable or easily quantifiable. This can make it challenging for farmers to connect the use of silicon fertilizer to a direct improvement in yield or profit. Lack of awareness and cost-conscious among farmers is hindering the market expansion in various regions.
The global silicon fertilizer market is segmented based on type, product, form, nature, distribution channel, application, and region.
Ease of Application and Uniform Distribution of Liquid Silicon Fertilizers
The global silicon fertilizer market is segmented based on form into liquid and solid. The liquid silicon fertilizer segment accounted for the largest share. Liquid fertilizers are much easier to apply compared to solid forms. They can be directly sprayed onto crops or injected into irrigation systems, ensuring a more even distribution of silicon throughout the field. This is crucial for maximizing the fertilizer's effectiveness.
Liquid silicon fertilizers are typically water-soluble, making the silicon readily available for plant uptake. This is particularly beneficial for crops with a short growing season or those that require silicon early in their development. These forms of fertilizers can often be mixed with other liquid fertilizers and pesticides in a single application, saving farmers time and resources. This convenience is a major advantage for large-scale farming operations.
Rising Agriculture Sector in Asia-Pacific
Asia-Pacific dominated the market growth with a booming agriculture sector. The rapidly growing population in developing countries including India and China is highly increasing the demand for the high agricultural sector in the region. According to the World Bank Organization, India's population reached 1.42 billion in 2022. World Data info indicates that this is a growth of 216.5 percent in 63 years, increasing the demand for various resources rapidly.
Population growth and rising food needs, are driving demand for high-performance fertilizers to boost crop yields to meet the increasing demand. The Fertiliser Association of India, the production of total fertilizer products at 48.68 million MT during 2022-23 showed an increase of 11.3% over 2021-22. Total consumption of all fertilizer products is at 63.76 million MT during 2022-23.
Further, consumption of fertilizer nutrients is estimated at 29.84 million MT during 2022-23. As more farmers become aware of the benefits of silicon fertilizers, they are more likely to integrate them into their crop management practices. The high use of fertilizers in this region along with the developing agricultural sector with the incorporation of new and effective fertilizers use is positively shaping the regional market growth.
The major global players in the market include Deepak Fertilisers and Petrochemicals Corporation Limited, Denka Company Limited, Edw. C. Levy Co., Redox Bio-Nutrient, Agripower Australia Ltd, MaxSil Pty Ltd., GREENCHEM BIOTECH, Jaipur Bio Fertilizers, Nousbo Co., Ltd. and Peptech Biosciences Ltd.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a mixed impact on the global silicon fertilizer market. The pandemic has disrupted the global supply chain, including transporting fertilizers and raw materials. Lockdowns and travel restrictions caused disruptions in the production and transportation of silicon fertilizers leading to temporary shortages and price fluctuations. The pandemic's economic slowdown reduced demand for agricultural products in some regions and decreased fertilizer use, including silicon fertilizers.
With the increased need for the need for sustainable practices. There was a high focus on food security. In some regions, the pandemic heightened concerns about food security. This led to an increased focus on agricultural production, which in turn drove up the demand for fertilizers, to produce the required yield of various agricultural products.
