The chemical fertilizers space is witnessing substantial growth, owing to the growing demand for food production. With the exponential rise in global population, organizations are augmenting the use of effective and low-cost fertilizers for agricultural production. Moreover, the growing emphasis towards plant-based foods as a dietary supplement is compelling organizations to re-align their product offerings and meet the needs of the target audiences. The demand for crops used for biomass is another factor influencing the growth of the chemical fertilizers space.
Here are some of the factors curtailing the growth of the chemical fertilizers space:
- Rising concerns for health: The abundant use of chemical fertilizers, which contain substances such as nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium, is harmful to the human body. Consequently, consumers have become more informed and are shifting towards the use of more organic substances. These factors are compelling businesses to streamline their product offerings and reduce the production of fertilizers that affect the consumer’s safety.
- Sophistication in government regulations: The fatal environment impact caused by the use of chemical fertilizers is influencing governments to limit their production. These regulations are further spurring the need for the inclusion of organic crop harvesting processes with fewer chemicals. The rising shift toward more natural fertilizers is affecting the overall growth of the chemical fertilizers space.
To address such challenges and identify the most profitable segments, organizations are leveraging market segmentation strategies. A market segmentation solution helps businesses understand their target audience and efficiently sell their product offerings to meet the target demands. The solution also helps companies to adequately allocate their resources to meet the business requirements.
