Global Nitrification Inhibitors Market Size (2024 to 2032)

The global nitrification Inhibitors market was valued at USD 1800.4 million in 2023 and is anticipated to reach USD 1861.61 million in 2024  from USD 2432.51 million by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 3.4% from 2024 to 2032.

CURRENT SCENARIO OF THE GLOBAL NITRIFICATION INHIBITORS MARKET

Nitrification inhibitors are widely used and are added to approximately 50% of anhydrous ammonia applied in drops in US states, such as Illinois.

Nitrification inhibitors are chemical compounds used to reduce the nitrification of ammonia, fertilizers that contain ammonia, and urea. These inhibitors help reduce nitrogen losses to the soil that would otherwise be consumed by crops. They are generally effective in increasing nitrogen fertilizer recovery in row crops, but the level of effectiveness is dependent on outdoor conditions, and their benefits are more likely to be seen at lower than optimal nitrogen levels. Ammonium (NH4 +) is a positively charged ion (cation) that can be retained at negatively charged exchange sites in the soil, present in clays and organic matter. This negatively charged nitrate anion (NO3-) can be converted to N2O or N2 gas under anaerobic (flooded) conditions, or it can be leached under the rainy root zone with well-drained soils. 

MARKET DRIVERS AND RESTRAINTS

According to the IPCC, about 1% (but potentially up to 5%) of ammonia is converted to nitrous oxide.

Growing concern about the negative impacts associated with the release of reactive nitrogen from highly fertilized agricultural ecosystems is driving the global nitrification inhibitors market. Therefore, a 65% increase in ammonia releases from fertilizers and manures could have important implications for nitrous oxide emissions. In addition, increased adoption of nitrogen stabilizers would drive the growth of the global nitrification inhibitor market during the forecast period. Nitrification inhibitors have great potential to reduce nitrous oxide emissions, but their effectiveness is not consistent across different soils, crops, and climates. Information on the efficacy and ability of inhibitors to reduce nitrous oxide production under Australian conditions is also minimal. The unproven effectiveness of nitrification inhibitors could hamper market growth.

SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS

Global Nitrification Inhibitors Market By Type 

DCD and DMPP were also effective in modifying the inorganic nitrogen content of the soil at the field scale for their overlapping confidence intervals. On average, the application of DCD and DMPP increased the NH4 + -N of the soil by 25.3% and 41.1% and decreased the NO3 -N content of the soil by 17.0% and 20.7. %, respectively. DCD and DMPP applications have shown that they can reduce gaseous emissions from soil, including NH3, N2O, NO, CH4, and CO2. Both DCD and DMPP significantly reduced N2O emissions to the soil by 44.7% and 47.6%, respectively.

REGIONAL ANALYSIS

North America holds the dominant share of the nitrification inhibitors market. Nitrapyrin and DCD are currently used extensively in agriculture in North America. Guardian-DF and Guardian-DL are designed for application with nitrogen solutions or slurries. Additionally, Guardian DF can be impregnated in dry nitrogen fertilizers. Agrotain Plus contains a urease inhibitor as well as the nitrification inhibitor DCD, which will be discussed in a later section. Its active ingredient is dicyandiamide (DCD). These products are considered important in reducing the impact of nitrogen losses on the environment, and considerable investment has been made in researching their use on farms. New Zealand has shown that DCD applied to grasslands reduced nitrate leaching from urine patches by 59% and nitrous oxide emissions by 82% while increasing grass production by 30%.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE GLOBAL NITRIFICATION INHIBITORS MARKET

  • In January 2018, Koch Agronomic Services launched two new products, the nitrification inhibitor Centuro and the urease inhibitor Anvol. This nitrification inhibitor will help reduce nitrogen loss.
  • In October 2017, Solvay's AgRho NH4 Protect, an innovative nitrification inhibitor solution, obtained marketing authorization in France from the National Agency for Health, Food, Environment, and Occupational Safety (Anses). AgRho NH4 Protect is part of a proprietary range of easy-to-use and environmentally friendly urease inhibitor and nitrification solutions developed and marketed by Solvay under the AgRho N-Protect brand.
  • In May 2017, Eco Agro Resources announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office had authorized three patents: application numbers 14 / 553,107, 14 / 689,470, and 13 / 890,082.
  • Independent research has shown that two upcoming nitrogen stabilizing products containing new active ingredients developed by Koch Agronomic Services (KAS) will help growers dramatically improve Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) to increase crop production and minimize losses. Environmental Centuro Nitrification Inhibitor and Anvol Urease Inhibitor represent KAS 'commitment to discovering and delivering new tools to help advance agriculture, providing unmatched protection against nitrogen for potentially improved performance and return on investment. Rigorous testing of both products at land-granting universities during the development phase demonstrated a significant increase in EUN and plant performance. Both products are expected to be available in the United States in 2018.
