India fertilizers market is expected to grow at a formidable rate during the forecast period. India is an agrarian economy and third largest producer and consumer of fertilizers. The India fertilizers market is driven by the growing need to meet the food demands of the country’s ever-increasing population. Additionally, decreasing soil fertility and increasing conversion of fertile land to barren lands is further expected to fuel the market growth through 2025. Besides, supportive government policies & schemes such as National Food Security Mission, Fertilizer Policy, subsidies for quality production of seeds, among others, is further expected to spur the market growth over the next few years.
