Europe Pelletized Fertilizer Market to Reach USD 14.73 Billion by 2035, Driven by Precision Agriculture and Regulatory Shifts

Europe's farms are experiencing a quiet revolution. Across the continent, from the intensive farming regions of Belgium to the expanding agricultural zones of Poland, farmers are making a fundamental shift in how they feed their crops. Traditional granular fertilizers are giving way to pelletized alternatives-and the numbers tell a compelling story.

The Market at a Glance

European farmers are switching to pelletized fertilizers in a big way. These aren't your traditional granular fertilizers-pellets offer better handling, uniform nutrient distribution, and work perfectly with modern precision farming equipment. The market was worth $7.85 billion in 2025 and should hit $14.73 billion by 2035, growing at 6.5% annually. Germany's the biggest player, while Poland's growth is accelerating fast.

Why Pellets Are Winning

EU Regulations Changed Everything: The Common Agricultural Policy incentivizes efficiency, while the Farm to Fork Strategy targets a 20% fertilizer reduction by 2030. Nutrient management is now mandatory in nitrate-vulnerable zones. Rising labor costs pushed farmers toward more efficient application methods.

The Math Works: Pelletized fertilizers deliver 20-30% higher nutrient-use efficiency and cut application costs by 15-25% compared to conventional granular products. Here's the key insight-even though total fertilizer use is declining, pelletized products are growing because farmers get higher yields using smaller, more precise inputs. That's a complete shift in how agriculture operates.

Precision Farming Needs Pellets: GPS-guided spreaders, variable-rate application, soil mapping, and crop sensors let farmers cut fertilizer use by 20-30% without hurting yields. But these systems need uniform pellet size and density for accurate calibration. Pellets fit perfectly. Europe is investing over €3.5 billion annually in precision agriculture infrastructure, much of it co-financed through CAP funds.

Key Players

The key companies operating in the palletized fertilizer market are Yara International ASA, ICL Group Ltd., K+S AG, Borealis AG, Grupa Azoty S.A., OCI N.V., EuroChem Group AG, Fertiberia S.A., Rosier SA, BASF SE, Van Iperen International B.V., Haifa Group, COMPO EXPERT GmbH, Frayssinet SAS, ILSA S.p.A., De Sangosse SAS, Koppert Biological Systems, Agrium Europe (Nutrien), and SKW Stickstoffwerke Piesteritz GmbH among others.

What's in the Pellets

Inorganic Still Dominates: Inorganic pelletized fertilizers hold 50-60% market share. They've got established supply chains, predictable nutrient release, and work well with intensive farming systems. They're especially good for cereals and grains across Europe's big arable regions.

NPK Complex Pellets Lead: These balanced multi-nutrient pellets account for 40-45% of the nutrient segment. Farmers love getting all their nutrients in a single pellet. The Benelux region-particularly the Netherlands and Belgium-shows how this works at scale. They achieve incredibly high yields while staying compliant with strict EU nitrogen limits.

Organic and Bio Options Growing: Organic pelletized fertilizers and biofertilizer pellets are gaining ground as sustainability becomes non-negotiable. Investment in biodegradable coatings and microbial-enhanced pellets is accelerating, especially in advanced markets.

Regional Dynamics

Benelux Is the Innovation Hub: Belgium leads Europe with 40% of fertilizer use in pelletized form. The Netherlands achieves exceptional yields using precision nutrient systems. Antwerp and Rotterdam ports handle millions of tons annually. This region is shaping sustainable fertilizer practices for all of Northwestern Europe.

Eastern Europe's Racing Ahead: Poland's growing at 8.8% annually, Romania at 8.5%, and Spain at 7.8%. These countries are modernizing farms rapidly and adopting efficient nutrient management. They're where the growth story is happening.

Germany Stays Solid: Germany remains the largest market, backed by strong domestic production and ongoing precision agriculture adoption. They're not growing as fast as Poland, but the base is huge.

Market Structure

Pelletization already accounts for 40-45% of Europe's total fertilizer market, and precision agriculture is used on 30-35% of farms-both numbers climbing steadily.
The market's moderately consolidated. Multinational corporations compete with regional producers and organic specialists. Key strategies include controlled-release technologies, integrating biostimulants with traditional inputs, decarbonizing production, and expanding localized manufacturing. Companies are spending 3-5% of revenues on R&D to stay competitive.

What's Driving Change

Farmers need efficiency, regulatory compliance, and higher yields-all at once. Traditional fertilizers can't deliver that combination anymore. Pelletized formulations, especially when combined with precision application technology, solve all three problems simultaneously.

The Bottom Line

Europe's agricultural transformation is real, and pelletized fertilizers are central to it. As environmental regulations tighten and precision farming expands, pellets will remain the cornerstone of how European farmers manage nutrients through 2035 and beyond. This isn't a trend-it's a structural shift in how agriculture works.
