Fertilizers in China

Demand for fertilizers in China will be supported by a growth in the amount of sown areas, the rise in income levels for rural farmers, and government subsidies to encourage additional use.

Demand to grow 3.3% per annum through 2015

Demand for fertilizers in China is forecast to increase 3.3 percent per annum through 2015 to 262 million metric tons. Sales of fertilizers will be supported by healthy expansion of agricultural activities as the amount of sown areas continues to grow and rural income levels rise. Farmers will continue to register steadily increasing incomes, the result of growing crop prices and government subsidies designed to supplement their revenues and reduce their material costs. Subsidies aimed directly at cutting the cost of fertilizers will encourage additional use. In addition, rising crop prices have encouraged farmers to invest in fertilizers to further boost crop yields. Advances will also be driven by increases in the hectarage of sown land dedicated to growing cash crops. However, increasing demand for organic food and improved understanding of the correct application of fertilizers will prevent demand from rising at a faster pace.

In value terms, fertilizer demand is expected to grow 6.0 percent per year to 548 billion yuan, outpacing gains in volume terms. Faster value growth will be driven by strong demand for highervalue multi-nutrient fertilizers. In addition, advances will be supported by continued growth in fertilizer prices as the cost of natural gas, oil, coal, and other raw materials continues to increase.

Fertilizer nutrients to rise 4.4% yearly through 2015

Demand for fertilizer nutrients in China is projected to grow 4.4 percent annually through 2015 to 98.1 million metric tons. Nutrient demand will be stimulated by increasing use of higher nutrient level products as income levels grow in rural areas in China. In addition, government efforts to promote multi-nutrient fertilizers will also support gains in fertilizer nutrient demand. Accounting for more than three-fourths of total fertilizer demand in 2010, single-nutrient fertilizers will remain the larger product type through 2015, despite a relatively low growth rate of 2.1 percent per year. Sales of singlenutrient fertilizers will continue to be supported by their relatively low prices. Multi-nutrient fertilizer demand will post a strong annual growth rate of 7.3 percent through 2015, fortified by government efforts to promote their utilization.

Central-South, Central-East regions to remain largest

The size, growth and composition of fertilizer demand in the six regions that make up China vary considerably. The Central-South and Central-East will remain the two largest regional fertilizer markets. Due to the comparatively high income levels in the Central-South and Central-East -- which enable residents to afford more expensive food items -- demand for cash crops such as fruits and vegetables will rise in these regions, which in turn will fuel demand for fertilizer. Sales in the Northeast and Northwest regions will outpace the average through 2015, benefiting from the Great Western Development Strategy, the Northeast Revitalization Policy, and increasing income levels for farmers.

Study Scope

This study analyzes the 22.5 million metric ton agricultural fertilizer industry in China. It presents historical demand data for the years 2001, 2006 and 2011, and forecasts for 2015 and 2020 by product (e.g., single-nutrient fertilizers, multi-nutrient fertilizers), crop (e.g., rice, corn, wheat, fruit, soybean) and geographic region.

The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 22 industry participants, including Sinochem, Yunnan Yuntianhua, and Hubei Yihua.
