World Fertilizers to 2014 - Market Research, Market Share, Market Size, Sales, Demand Forecast, Market Leaders, Company Profiles, Industry Trends

World demand for fertilizers is projected to increase 3.8 percent per year through 2014. The Asia/Pacific will continue to control the largest portion of global fertilizer demand and post above-average gains. Single-nutrient fertilizers will remain the dominant product while multi-nutrient and organic types grow the fastest.

This study analyzes the 345 million metric ton world fertilizer industry. It presents historical demand data for the years 1999, 2004 and 2009, and forecasts for 2014 and 2019 by type (e.g., single-nutrient, multi-nutrient), market (agriculture, consumer and commercial), world region and for 30 countries.

The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 33 industry participants, including Yara, Agrium and Mosaic.
