This statistic shows the global consumption of fertilizer by nutrient in 2013, 2014, and 2018. In 2013, the consumption of nitrogen fertilizers reached some 111.3 megatons. By 2018, this amount is expected to increase up to nearly 120 megatons. Increasing crop prices lead to increased fertilizer demands and has been especially noted in recent years in South Asia. Favorable weather also increases demand for fertilizers in major agricultural regions.
