Zinc Agricultural Micronutrients Market by Mode of Application (Soil, Foliar and Fertigation), Form (Chelated and Non-Chelated Micronutrients), Crop Type and Region - Global Forecast to 2030

The global zinc agriculture micronutrients market is estimated to be valued at USD 1.26 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 1.89 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5% during the forecast period. The market is witnessing strong growth potential, driven by increasing awareness among crop producers about the critical role of zinc in plant enzymatic activity, hormone regulation, chlorophyll synthesis, and overall crop development. Zinc deficiency remains the most prevalent micronutrient imbalance worldwide, particularly in intensively cultivated soils, degraded soils, and high-pH soils. This widespread deficiency has led to a significant rise in the adoption of zinc-based micronutrient fertilizers as farmers increasingly embrace balanced and precise fertilization practices.

Additional growth drivers include the expanding focus on high-value horticultural crops, supportive government initiatives promoting micronutrient application, and the rising use of precision agriculture techniques, such as foliar spraying and fertigation, to enhance nutrient efficiency and crop productivity.

Asia Pacific Leads Global Market Growth

The Asia Pacific region is projected to account for the largest share of the zinc agriculture micronutrients market over the forecast period. The region benefits from a vast agricultural land base, diverse crop cultivation, and strong potential for productivity improvement. Developing economies, including China, India, and ASEAN countries, are experiencing notable growth in zinc fertilizer consumption due to widespread soil zinc deficiency, increasing efforts to improve farm profitability, and active government programs encouraging the use of micronutrient-enriched fertilizers. The expansion of commercial farming, coupled with robust support from agricultural extension services and major agri-input companies, continues to strengthen regional demand.

Fruits & Vegetables Segment to Witness Highest Growth

By crop type, the fruits & vegetables segment is expected to register the fastest growth in the coming years. Rising consumer demand for high-quality, nutrient-rich produce has prompted growers to incorporate zinc micronutrients into comprehensive crop nutrition programs. Moreover, the increasing adoption of greenhouse and protected cultivation systems and the cultivation of high-value horticultural crops are creating new opportunities for market expansion. Given the high susceptibility of horticultural crops to zinc deficiency, demand for zinc agricultural micronutrients is anticipated to rise steadily.

Non-Chelated Forms Remain Dominant

By form, the non-chelated segment is expected to maintain its dominant position, particularly in developing agricultural regions where cost-effectiveness remains a key purchasing criterion. Non-chelated zinc micronutrients continue to see strong demand in large-scale farming due to their proven efficacy at affordable prices. However, growth in this segment may face gradual constraints as high-value agriculture increasingly shifts toward advanced and chelated formulations.

The report profiles several leading companies operating in the global zinc agriculture micronutrients market, including BASF SE (Germany), Nouryon (Netherlands), Nufarm (Australia), Yara International ASA (Norway), Coromandel International Limited (India), The Mosaic Company (US), Syngenta AG (Switzerland), Haifa Negev Technologies Ltd (Israel), Manvert (Spain), Zuari Agrochemicals Ltd (India), Stoller Enterprises, Inc. (US), Balchem Corp. (US), and ATP Nutrition (Canada).

Recent Developments in the Zinc Agricultural Micronutrients Industry:

  • October 2025: BASF expanded its micronutrient portfolio with a new chelated zinc-iron blend fertilizer, enhancing corn yield by 15% in Midwest trials amid soil deficiency challenges. This launches targeted high-demand row crops, integrating drone-compatible formulations for precision application.
  • October 2025: Sumitomo Chemical launched a specialized rice micronutrient pack with zinc and manganese, tailored for paddy soils deficient from volcanic ash. This innovation improves grain nutrition and yield stability, aligning with Japan's food security initiatives.
  • May 2025: Syngenta, a leading global crop protection and seed company, completed the acquisition of Intrinsyx Bio, a biotechnology firm specializing in nutrient use efficiency (NUE) technologies. This acquisition strengthened Syngenta’s R&D capabilities in advanced nutrient solutions, including technologies that enhance micronutrient uptake and efficiency, aligning with broader precision agriculture and sustainability goals in crop nutrition.
