Vietnam Fertilizer Market

The market for fertilizers in Vietnam reached a value of $4.5 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach $5.7 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8% from 2023 to 2030.

Fertilizers play a crucial role in enhancing crop yield in agriculture. They provide essential nutrients like potassium, nitrogen, and phosphorus to plants, improving soil fertility and water retention capacity.

Several factors contribute to the growth of the Vietnam fertilizer market. Farmers' increasing focus on improving agricultural productivity, the country's large consumer base, and agriculture's significant contribution to Vietnam's economy are key drivers. However, climate change poses a challenge to market growth. Rising sea levels and their intrusion into farming areas can negatively impact agricultural activities and reduce farmers' income. As farmers are the end-users of fertilizers, this income decrease can hinder fertilizer demand. On the other hand, the growing trend of organic agriculture creates opportunities for organic fertilizers, driving demand and presenting lucrative prospects in the market.

The Vietnam fertilizer market is segmented based on type, form, application/crop type, nutrient content, and region. The type segment includes organic and inorganic fertilizers, while the form segment comprises dry and liquid fertilizers. Application/crop type is divided into crop-based and non-crop-based categories. Nutrient content is analyzed for organic and inorganic fertilizers. Regionally, the market is studied across Northern Vietnam, Central Vietnam, and Southern Vietnam. The market share of the Vietnam fertilizer market is analyzed across all these segments and regions.
