Fertilizing and Plant Protection Equipment Market Report 2026

The fertilizing and plant protection equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $80.05 billion in 2025 to $84.78 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of commercial agriculture, rising use of pesticides and fertilizers, availability of mechanized farm equipment, increasing focus on crop protection, growth of horticulture farming.

The fertilizing and plant protection equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $109.63 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for sustainable crop management, rising adoption of precision spraying technologies, expansion of high-value crop cultivation, growing integration of automation in farming, increasing regulatory focus on efficient chemical use. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of integrated crop nutrition equipment, rising use of multi-function plant protection machinery, growing demand for precision spraying systems, expansion of mechanized crop protection practices, enhanced focus on sustainable input application.

Rising agricultural output is anticipated to support the expansion of the fertilizing and plant protection equipment market in the coming years. Crop yield denotes the amount of agricultural production obtained from a specific land area within a defined timeframe, typically measured by weight or volume per unit area. Modern agriculture increasingly depends on advanced fertilization and plant protection equipment to improve nutrient application, control pests, and promote overall crop vitality, enabling efficient and sustainable methods to achieve higher productivity. For example, in February 2024, a report released by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), an Italy-based intergovernmental body, revised global cereal output upward by 13.2 million tonnes to 2.836 billion tonnes, reflecting a 1.2% rise compared with 2022-23. As a result, rising crop yields are contributing to the growth of the fertilizing and plant protection equipment market.

Major companies in the fertilizing and plant protection equipment market are pursuing strategic partnerships to enhance product innovation, expand market reach, and promote sustainable agricultural practices. Strategic partnerships involve companies leveraging each other's strengths and resources to achieve mutual benefits and success. For example, in September 2023, John Deere, a U.S.-based manufacturer of equipment for the agricultural and construction industries, collaborated with Yara International ASA, a chemical company also based in the U.S., to improve fertilization efficiency. This partnership aims to empower farmers to increase yields and optimize fertilizer usage, aligning with the objectives of the European Union's Farm to Fork Strategy.

Companies operating in the fertilizing and plant protection equipment market are also focusing on product innovation to enhance profitability. A notable development is seen in the introduction of insecticide/biofungicide premixes. These are crop protection products that combine insecticides and biofungicides to safeguard crops from pests and diseases. The integration of insecticide/biofungicide premixes with fertilizing and plant protection equipment aims to strike a balance between crop nutrition and effective pest and disease control, promoting sustainable and efficient farming practices. For instance, FMC Corporation, a US-based chemical company, launched Ethos Elite LFR in November 2023. This insecticide/biofungicide premix, formulated with FMC's Liquid Fertilizer Ready (LFR) technology, allows mixing in a tank with pop-up fertilizers, liquid starters, and water, and is compatible with other crop protection products.
