Micronutrients are essential nutrients required in small proportions for the proper growth of plants. Even though they are required in much smaller amounts than macronutrients, deficiency of micronutrients can lead to stunted growth and diseases/conditions such as yellowing leaves, gummosis, and necrosis. As many of the crucial micronutrients needed for plants are either deficient or are not proportionately spread in soils around the world, supplements of the necessary micronutrients are commonly added.

On the basis of product type, the market has been segmented into manganese, boron, copper, iron, molybdenum, iron, zinc, and other elements such as nickel and chromium. On the basis of applications of micronutrients, the market has been segmented into foliar, fertigation, seed treatment, soil, and other applications such as hydroponics. On the basis of crop type, the market has been examined for pulses and oilseeds, cereals, fruits and vegetables, and other segments such as floriculture. On the basis of form, the market has been segmented into chelated and non-chelated micronutrients. On the basis of geography, the market has been segmented into Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World (RoW).
Of the key product types analyzed, zinc is the most widely used micronutrient, accounting for over one third of the total global micronutrients market in 2013. However, the segment of molybdenum is expected to witness growth at the fastest pace over the forecast period.
Of the key applications studied, the segment of soil dominated the market in 2013. The foliar applications segment acquired the second position, accounting for a share of 23.4% in the market. On the basis of crop type, the global micronutrients market earned a major share of its global demand from the cereal segment.
