Scope of the Report

The global Biodegradable Chelates market size is predicted to grow from US$ 472 million in 2025 to US$ 655 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% from 2026 to 2032.

Micronutrients such as Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu are easily oxidized or precipitated in soil, and their utilization is, therefore, not efficient. Chelated fertilisers have been developed to increase micronutrient utilization efficiency. When in chelated form, the metal isn’t precipitated by phosphates, carbonates and other soil and fertiliser components. In this free, chelated form, it remains mobile and unfixed. It is able to move freely through the soil for uptake by the plant root system.

The word chelate is derived from the Greek word chelé, which refers to a lobster’s claw. Hence, chelate refers to the pincer-like way in which a metal nutrient ion like Zinc, Manganese, Iron and Copper is encircled by the larger organic molecule (the claw), usually called a ligand or chelator. Some commonly used chelating agents are EDTA, DTPA, EDDHA, IDHA, etc. The effectiveness and efficiency of a particular chelated fertiliser depends on the pH of the plant growth medium.

Global key Biodegradable Chelates players cover Nouryon (ADOB), BASF, Syngenta (Valagro), Van Iperen International, Aries Agro Ltd, etc.
