The fertilizer and compost manufacturing industry has experienced significant growth in the current period due primarily to changes in input prices, crop production and fertilizer pricing. In recent years, high fertilizer prices, driven by robust demand and input costs, have notably improved industry revenue and profit. Consistent increases in crop yields and production, particularly in core commodities like corn, wheat and soybeans, have bolstered fertilizer demand over the current period despite recent downward pressure from declining crop prices and farmer incomes. Even as the agricultural sector begins to deflate after extreme pricing highs in 2022, revenues for fertilizer manufacturers remain elevated and have grown at a CAGR of 6.3% over the current period to reach $35.4 billion after declining by 0.1% in 2025. Global markets have presented a complex landscape for US fertilizer manufacturers. As domestic producers step in to fill supply gaps created by global shortages and disruptions — such as those stemming from the Ukraine-Russia conflict — they have expanded their international market presence, bolstering the industry's global competitiveness and supporting profit growth, which has helped offset domestic market volatility. Strong demand for organic and specialty fertilizers has helped to propel this growth as manufacturers capitalize on shifting global preferences. However, ongoing supply chain disruptions and rising input costs, including the effects of tariffs on essential raw materials and finished fertilizer products, have placed some stress on operational stability and motivated a move toward expanded domestic production. While these higher costs have largely been passed on to consumers, bolstering revenue in the current period, they have also led to elevated expenses throughout the supply chain and diminished the price competitiveness of US-made fertilizers globally as costs rise. Looking ahead, the industry is poised for continued growth. Conflicts impacting global production hubs and trade conflicts are promoting increased investment in localized production capabilities. With governments and consumers increasingly prioritizing sustainability, demand for eco-friendly fertilizers will continue to surge. As climate change creates more uncertainty for farmers, shifting growing seasons and making harvests less predictable, it also means there will be a growing need for more advanced fertilizer solutions and application methods. Not only will producers need to lean on new, innovative products to maintain soil health and help crops cope with weather extremes, but they will also often have to use more fertilizer just to keep yields up. These conditions are pushing manufacturers to invest in research and development for long-term competitiveness. Precision fertilization also represents an evolving opportunity for producers to foster efficient, sustainable agricultural practices and open new market avenues. As the industry adapts to these trends, manufacturers' embrace of innovation and sustainability will be critical in meeting future demands and capturing emerging opportunities. Overall, industry revenue is projected to grow at a CAGR of 0.4% to reach $37.0 billion by 2030.
