Fertilizers Market in Thailand 2015-2019

Market outlook of the fertilizers market in Thailand
Fertilizers are used to prompt the growth of plant and also in increasing the crop yield. They help plants in holding the soil, thereby reduce soil erosion. Technavio’s market research analyst has estimated that the consumption of fertilizers in Thailand was 2.74 million metric tons in 2014 and is expected to reach a volume of 3.34 million metric tons in 2019, growing at a CAGR of more than 4%. Agriculture is one of the major source of the economy in Thailand, wherein more than 60% of the population is involved in agriculture.

The increasing population in Thailand every year has increased the demand for food, thereby increasing the production and consumption of fertilizers in the country. The consumers are expanding their diets with these dietary changes manifested in the form of increased demand for grain-intensive animal protein and dairy products. However, with the decline in arable land, it is difficult for farmers to increase productivity enough to cater to the high demand for food. Therefore, farmers are increasingly depending on fertilizers to improve plant growth and yields.
