Fertilizers: United States Report

Report Overview

This report forecasts US fertilizer demand in metric tons of nutrients to 2029. Total demand is segmented by fertilizer type in terms of: nitrogen, potash, phosphate, organic, and other fertilizers such as secondary nutrients and other micronutrients.

Animal feed and industrial uses for fertilizer, such as chemical production, are excluded from the scope of this report. Fertilizers derived from transforming other fertilizer products are excluded to avoid double-counting. Nitrogen is expressed in elemental form (N), whereas phosphate and potash are expressed as oxides, P2O5 and K2O, respectively.

Total demand is also segmented by application as follows: corn, soybean, wheat, and other applications such as cotton, fruits, vegetables, and landscaping.

To illustrate historical trends, total demand and the various segments are provided in annual series from 2019 to 2024.

Key macroeconomic indicators are also provided with quantified trends. Other various topics, including profiles of pertinent leading companies, are covered in this report. A full outline of report items by page is available in the Table of Contents.
