Global Agricultural Chelates Market to Surpass US$1.5 Billion by 2032, Driven by Sustainable Farming and Precision Agriculture
Industry Experts, Inc. has introduced a new study, "Agricultural Chelates - A Global Market Overview," estimating that worldwide revenues for agricultural chelates will advance from US$1 billion in 2025 to exceed US$1.5 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period.
The global agricultural chelates market is steadily expanding as farmers worldwide seek efficient micronutrient solutions to boost yields, enhance plant quality, and ensure soil sustainability. Chelates such as EDTA, DTPA, and EDDHA protect iron, zinc, manganese, and copper from soil fixation, enabling higher absorption across alkaline and nutrient-stressed soils. The shift toward precision agriculture, driven by GPS, sensors, drones, and advanced data analytics, has accelerated the adoption of chelates, supporting site-specific nutrient management and minimizing losses. Meanwhile, the growth of organic and sustainable farming, coupled with R&D into bio-based and biodegradable chelates, is reshaping the market landscape.
Regionally, Asia-Pacific stands as the largest market, expected to account for 31.2% of global demand in 2025, led by China and India where food security concerns and government initiatives fuel adoption. At the same time, North America is forecast to post the fastest CAGR of 6.5% between 2025 and 2032, supported by high-value horticultural crops, advanced controlled-environment farming, and heightened awareness of soil nutrient deficiencies.

By type, EDTA dominates with a projected 35.3% share in 2025 due to its versatility and affordability across crops and soils, while EDDHA will register the fastest CAGR of 6.9% thanks to its superior performance in alkaline soils. From an application standpoint, foliar spray leads with 41.8% share in 2025, offering rapid nutrient correction and yield improvements, whereas fertigation will grow the quickest at 6.5% CAGR, driven by hydroponics and greenhouse cultivation. Among crops, cereals and grains represent the largest segment with 35% share in 2025, while fruits and vegetables will expand fastest at 6.7% CAGR, propelled by demand for nutrient-dense, high-quality produce.
The report segments the global agricultural chelates market by type (EDTA, EDDHA, DTPA, IDHA, and others), crop type (cereals & grains, fruits & vegetables, oilseeds & pulses, others), and mode of application (foliar spray, soil treatment, fertigation, others). Geographic scope spans five regions with detailed data for 10+ countries. It profiles 16+ key players, including BASF, Yara International, Syngenta, ICL Group, Haifa Group, Wilbur-Ellis, Aries Agro, and Compo Expert.
