Total sales of nonprotein nitrogen are estimated to be worth USD 119.5 billion by the end of the year 2025. It is projected to reach USD 180.3 billion by the end of 2035, reflecting a CAGR of 4.2% over the assessment period 2025 to 2035.
Sales in the nonprotein nitrogen industry have recently increased significantly due to the growing need for more efficient and less costly alternatives to animal feeds. Compounds such as urea, and NPN, are common in the livestock industry to improve protein intake in ruminants, especially in areas where such proteins are difficult or expensive to obtain. By being a substitute nitrogen source, NPN reduces feed costs and increases livestock productivity.
Another driving factor is the change in agricultural practices. New agricultural practices stress the need for a balanced diet in livestock for better growth rates and increased yield in milk and meat production. In such advanced feeding strategies, NPN products, such as ammonium salts, are very important. Companies such as Yara International and Nutrien have been on the front line in the creation of high-quality NPN products that suit the increasing demand of the agriculture sector.
Feeding more crude protein to growing heifers to promote energy development is advantageous in general, especially in light of research demonstrating that supplementing grain silage rations with less expensive nonprotein nitrogen sources improves digestibility, therefore, boosting the nonprotein nitrogen market.
Dairy farmers are incorporating high-protein sources in dairy cattle feed to provide balanced nutrition and increase milk production. In order to increase the production of milk, genetically enhanced cattle require a higher amount of nourishment.
Rising feed costs are compelling farmers to employ less expensive forms of nutrition, such as non-protein nitrogen. High protein insufficiency in cows that are fed low-quality fodder is expected to boost sales of nonprotein nitrogen in the forthcoming years.
Ruminants such as sheep and goats accounted for the second-largest share of the non-protein nitrogen market. In comparison to goats, sheep utilize more non-protein nitrogen in their meal. As the demand for processed meat grows, sales of nonprotein nitrogen are expected to rise.
“Increasing sales of ready-to-eat meals across the globe, along with growing demand for high-quality animal-based products is expected to augment the growth in the nonprotein nitrogen market over the assessment period,” says an FMI analyst.
Key Takeaways:
- By type, sales of urea nonprotein nitrogen are forecast to gain traction through 2035.
- The U.S. will continue dominating the North America nonprotein nitrogen market amid surging demand for high quality animal-based products.
- China will emerge as a lucrative market due to high meat consumption in the country.
- The U.K. will continue witnessing high demand for nonprotein nitrogen owing to rising focus on improving animal health in the livestock sector.
Competitive Landscape
Key players operating in the global nonprotein nitrogen market are implementing various strategies such as product innovations, marketing & promotional activity, strengthening distribution channels, and adopting sustainable production.
For instance
- Nutrien bought Actagro, a company supplying eco-friendly soil and plant health products. By acquiring Actagro’s technology, which specializes in nutrient-use efficiency and soil health, Nutrien expects to broaden its portfolio of NPN products.
- Alltech and Novozymes have made an agreement to co-develop microbial inoculants for NPN products. This joint venture looks to incorporate beneficial microbes into NPN for better nutrient cycling and soil health.
