The Latin America Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) Fertilizer Market demonstrates steady expansion, valued at USD 864 million in 2024 and projected to reach USD 1.12 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.4%. This growth stems from intensifying agricultural productivity demands across Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico, where DAP’s high phosphorus (46%) and nitrogen (18%) content remain critical for staple crops like soybeans, corn, and coffee.
DAP fertilizers are manufactured through controlled reactions between ammonia and phosphoric acid, resulting in granules that enhance soil fertility and crop yields. Their efficiency in addressing nutrient-deficient soils makes them indispensable for Latin America’s agricultural sector, which contributes 14% to regional GDP.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis
Brazil dominates the regional market with 45% share, driven by its massive soybean belt spanning 41.2 million hectares. The country’s tropical soils require frequent phosphorus replenishment, creating sustained DAP demand. Meanwhile, Argentina’s export-oriented agricultural sector utilizes DAP extensively for wheat and corn cultivation across the Pampas region.
Mexico shows contrasting dynamics, where vegetable and fruit production in states like Sinaloa and Michoacán fuels specialized DAP applications. Central American nations are emerging as growth markets, though infrastructure limitations and price sensitivity create adoption barriers. Throughout the region, precision farming adoption is reshaping DAP application methods, reducing waste while maintaining efficacy.
Key Market Drivers and Opportunities
The market benefits from three converging trends: expanding cropland, intensifying export agriculture, and technological modernization. Brazil’s Safrinha corn crop (planted after soybeans) has doubled since 2010, demanding 22% more phosphorus per hectare. Meanwhile, sustainable farming initiatives promote DAP formulations with reduced environmental impact.
Significant opportunities exist in:
- Customized DAP blends for tropical fruit cultivation
- Precision application technologies reducing usage by 15-20%
- Bio-based DAP alternatives gaining regulatory favor
The Andean region shows untapped potential, with Peru’s agricultural GDP growing 6.3% annually since 2020.
Challenges & Restraints
Market growth faces headwinds from:
- Phosphate rock price volatility (28% fluctuation in 2022-2023)
- Environmental regulations limiting phosphorus runoff
- Organic fertilizer substitution in niche markets
Brazil’s fertilizer import dependence (85% of consumption) creates additional supply chain vulnerabilities during geopolitical disruptions.
