The global fertilizer spreader market size was valued at USD 757.1 million in 2023. The market is projected to grow from USD 792.8 million in 2024 and reach USD 1,172.4 million by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period.


A fertilizer spreader is a commonly used agricultural tool for spreading and distributing fertilizers, seeds, ice melt, lime, sand and other materials. Fertilizer spreaders adjust different application rates depending on the spreading material used. Generally, this is a compound made of dry, pelletized, free-flowing material that requires a constant application rate. It is an alternative to agricultural seed drills. Spreaders are used to spread fertilizer and lawn seed evenly across the lawn.


The demand for improved quality crop production has increased the demand for fertilizer spreaders. As the amount of land available for agriculture continues to decline, numerous technologies are being developed and deployed to increase farm yields and production, including autonomous systems and precision agriculture. Additionally, the demand for higher-quality crop production has led farmers to choose potassium and phosphorous fertilizers. This has increased the market demand and push industry expansion over the coming years.


With increase in population, the cultivation of crops is growing drastically, which, in turn, generates the need for autonomous and semi-automatic spreader products. According to the California Farm Bureau survey, it has been anticipated that more than 40% of the farmers have faced shortages for various farm operations over the past five years, which led to a rise in the adoption of automated fertilizer spreading equipment for agricultural and landscaping applications. Benefits associated with these products, such as less human interaction, less time-consuming process, and increase in efficiency, are projected to boost the fertilizer spreader market growth.


The market players witnessed a significant decline in revenue generated during 2020. For instance, Kubota Corporation registered a decline of around 3.5% in total revenues generated in 2020 as compared to 2019. The farm & industrial machinery segment witnessed a decline of around -4.1% in 2020. In the long term, the COVID-19 pandemic is estimated to have a positive effect on the global market. According to various secondary sources, from the 2nd quarter of 2020, the demand for these technologically advanced products kept on growing and is further projected to register significant growth.

Fertilizer Spreader Market Growth Factors


Rise in Demand for Fertilizers in Farming to Boost Market Growth


There has been a rise in demand for fertilizers across farms globally. In addition, an increasing demand to consume vegetables & fruits with minimal use of fertilizers is anticipated to give rise to demand for fertilizer spreading equipment. Furthermore, rise in demand for potassium fertilizers and phosphorus fertilizer for agricultural activities is anticipated to encourage the use of fertilizer spreading equipment and boost the market growth. Shortage of labor across developing countries, such as India, Brazil, South Africa, and others, is anticipated to drive the growth of the market.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Fluctuation in Raw Material Prices to Decrease Product Demand


Metal alloys, stainless steel, and other metals are vital raw materials used by manufacturers. Prices of raw materials, such as metal and stainless steel, are volatile. The volatility in the prices of raw materials can affect the prices of these products and also affect the profitability of manufacturers. For example, if there is a rise in the prices of steel, metal, and alloys, this fluctuation can increase the prices of the fertilizer spreading equipment, which could affect the sales. Hence, fluctuation in raw material prices is anticipated to act as a restraint for the growth of the market.


Fertilizer Spreader Market Segmentation Analysis


By Type Analysis


Substantial Improvement in Fertilizer Spreading Equipment to Provide Considerable Growth of Drop Spreader Segment


On the basis of type, market is segmented into drop spreader and broadcast spreader. The broadcast spreader segment is expected to exhibit the highest CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period. Broadcast spreader is a chief contributor to the market growth. It is credited to continuous product development that is complimentary for spreading fertilizers across farms, public gardens, commercial turf application, and home lawns. Broadcast spreader has hopper capacity larger than drop spreader.


The drop spreader segment is anticipated to observe an extensive growth rate, owing to the fact that it takes extra care to make sure different parts of the lawn receive an even coverage. It is easy to use and more accurate as compared to broadcast spreader. It can work well on lawns or spaces that are under 5,000 square feet in size.

Farm Segment Set to Observe Significant Growth Owing to Rise in Agricultural Automation


By application, the market is divided into farm, public gardens, and others (commercial turf application and home lawns).


The farm segment is projected to observe a robust growth due to shortage of farm workers and rise in the use of these equipment in farming operations. Majority of the land uses such products to spread fertilizers. It leads to even distribution of fertilizers, thereby aiding in sustainable production throughout the year. Small and big farms are using these products as well.


The public gardens segment is expected to witness a steady growth, especially in countries such as France, Italy, India, and others. Small spreaders or handheld spreaders are used in public gardens to spread chemicals or fertilizers.


The others (commercial turf application and home lawns) segment is expected to witness a substantial growth rate due to rising preference of these fertilizer spreaders to increase agricultural production, which is expected to drive the growth of the market.
