Fertilizer additives are the substances that are added to a fertilizer to enhance its efficiency by releasing the necessary nutrients required for the growth of a crop. These components act by slowing down the release of excess nutrients into soil. Fertilizer additives also inhibit biological activity that can impact the nitrogen cycle in the soil. For instance, nitrogen fertilizer additives are the substances that are added to a water-soluble or readily available fertilizer to extend the time a particular form of nitrogen remains in the soil. The loss of nutrients from the soil has led to rise in the demand for fertilizer additives. These compounds can also be used for improving the shelf life or the storage of fertilizers by preventing lump formation, caking, which can degrade the quality of the fertilizers. The use of fertilizers is one of the oldest methods of improvising agriculture processes. Modern chemical fertilizers contain three essential elements that are important for the nutrition of a plant those are nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus (NPK).

The anti-caking agent accounted for the largest share of the global fertilizer additive market in 2018. Anti-caking agents are used so that the powdered or granulated content does not form lumps in moist conditions and can be packed comfortably. This anti-caking agent prevents the development of lumps, making it easy for transportation, consumption, and packaging.

The anti-caking agent segment dominated the global fertilizer additive market whereas dust control agent segment is expected to register an exceptional growth rate during the forecast period.

The rise in the consumption and demand for premium fertilizer additive lead to an increase in the super-premium glass bottles and is forecasted to grow higher in the coming years. Triple super phosphate (TSP) is used in conditions where several solid fertilizers are mixed for broadcasting on the soil surface or for application in a concentrated band underneath the surface. It is also appropriate for fertilization of leguminous crops where no additional N fertilization is needed.
