Socioeconomic Changes from the Covid-19 Pandemic Adversely Impact the WSF Market

The recent COVID-19 outbreak has negatively impacted numerous industries worldwide. Government-imposed restrictions and lockdowns forced businesses to shut down, leading to significant socioeconomic disruptions. The pandemic's effects have permeated various sectors, with agriculture being one of the hardest hit in recent months. As efforts to curb the virus's spread continue, the water-soluble fertilizers (WSF) market is expected to experience a decline in its compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in the coming years.

Company Collaborations Emerge as a Key Trend Among Global Businesses

The market's growth in recent years has been influenced by several factors, with collaborations among major companies playing a pivotal role. Large-scale businesses are increasingly partnering to expand their geographical presence. For instance, in December 2019, Van Iperen announced the expansion of its operations in North America through its US subsidiary. The company, which already has a strong global presence and collaborates with entities like Milliken, offers a diverse range of water-soluble and specialty fertilizers. This move not only strengthens its domestic footprint but also signals its ambitions in the food and beverage industry.
