World consumption of the three main fertilizer nutrients, nitrogen (N), phosphorus expressed as phosphate (P2O5), and potassium expressed as potash (K2O), is estimated to reach 186.67 million tonnes (N, P2O5 and K2O) in 2016, up by 1.4 percent over 2015 consumption levels. The demand for N, P2O5, and K2O is forecast to grow annually on average by 1.5, 2.2, and 2.4 percent respectively from 2015 to 2020. Over the next five years, the global capacity of the production of fertilizers, intermediates and raw materials is also expected to increase.
