The continuously increasing population and rising awareness among farmers coupled with the high demand for food products globally are also the drivers for the global Metal Chelates Market. The Global Metal Chelates Market report provides a holistic evaluation of the market. The report offers a comprehensive analysis of key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, competitive landscape, and factors that are playing a substantial role in the market.

Global Metal Chelates Market Definition

Metal chelate is a compound where a metal ion is bonded to an anion at more than one attachment site. They also maintain the balance of salts and micro-nutrients inside the soil. Chelation is a natural process that occurs to prevent absorbed nutrients from precipitating. Organic substances present in the soil and produced by microorganisms are natural chelating agents. Hydroxamate siderophores are organic substances produced by microorganisms to transport and solubilize nutrients. However, the presence of natural chelating agents is not enough to accelerate the crop yield.

Synthetic iron chelates are majorly used to feed iron-starving crops. Metal Chelate is mostly used in the agriculture industry as fertilizer. They are also used as soil additives for healthy plant growth. Some of the most popular chelates are EDDHA, EDTA, and DTPA. Agricultural industries, farmers, and crop producers are the key end-users of agricultural chelates. The Chelation process is also used in the health care industry, in MRI scanners, and in procedures where they have to remove some kind of metal from the body.

Global Metal Chelates Market Overview

The substantial up-gradation of agricultural practices for high yield has benefitted the Global Metal Chelates Market. Metallic chelates are predominantly used in agriculture areas as micronutrient fertilizers for the uptake of metal ions by various plants. This is because metal ions such as Fe+2, Zn+2, Mn+2, and Cu+2 easily react with negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-), which makes them unavailable for plants. The metal chelate surrounds the metal ion to protect it from the surrounding OH- ions. This will foster market growth. Moreover, Increasing Awareness About Nutrient Deficiencies in Crops and Deteriorating Soil Quality is boosting global demand.

Furthermore, the Increasing use of agricultural chelates to enhance crop productivity, micronutrient deficiency, soil degradation, and shrinking of farmland have positively anticipated in propelling the growth of the Global Metal Chelates Market. There are certain restraints and challenges faced which will hinder the overall market growth. The factors such as the impact of non-biodegradable metal chelates are limiting the market growth. Also, the Lack of Awareness and Low Acceptance Among Farmers in low economic areas is estimated to have sluggish growth during the forecast period. Nevertheless, the advancements in technologies and Product innovation may influence the Global Metal Chelates Market in the coming years. Besides, Rising government support and Upgraded Farming Practices in Emerging Markets offer favorable growth opportunities for the Global Metal Chelates Market.

Global Metal Chelates MarketSegmentation Analysis

The Global Metal Chelates Market is segmented on the basis of Crop Type, Application, And Geography.

Metal Chelates Market, By Crop Type

• Cereals & Grains• Oilseeds & Pulses• Fruits & Vegetables• Others

Based on Crop Type, the market is bifurcated into Cereals & Grains, Oilseeds & Pulses, Fruits & Vegetables, and Others. The fruits & vegetable segment is estimated to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The factors that can be attributed to the growing awareness among farmers about the importance of nutrients for these crops, and the increasing demand for fruits and vegetables. As fruits and vegetables are sensitive crops, they can get completely damaged due to nutrient deficiencies in the soil. These are fueling the demand for this segment.
