In 2024, Croatia continued to see a steady influx of controlled release fertilizer imports, with key suppliers including Serbia, Slovenia, Italy, Austria, and Greece. The market displayed moderate concentration levels with a stable Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI). Despite a notable compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.14% from 2020 to 2024, there was a slight decline in growth rate from 2023 to 2024 at -22.57%. This data suggests a resilient market that is benefiting from strong trade partnerships within the region, while also experiencing some fluctuations in growth trends.

The controlled release fertilizer market in Croatia involves fertilizers designed to release nutrients gradually over time, improving efficiency and reducing environmental impact. This includes products such as slow-release and timed-release fertilizers. The market is driven by the demand for sustainable agriculture practices, advancements in fertilizer technology, and the need for efficient nutrient management.
The controlled release fertilizer market in Croatia benefits from the growing demand for fertilizers that provide nutrients to crops over an extended period, improving crop yield and reducing environmental impact. Controlled release fertilizers release nutrients gradually, enhancing nutrient use efficiency and minimizing leaching. The rise in agricultural activities, advancements in fertilizer technologies, and the focus on sustainable farming practices drive market demand. Additionally, the growth of the agriculture and horticulture sectors supports market expansion.
The controlled release fertilizer market in Croatia is confronted with challenges surrounding high production costs and environmental regulations.
