The global Biostimulants Market size was valued at USD 3.64 billion in 2023.By 2032, the market is expected to have grown from USD 4.03 billion in 2024 to USD 9.75 billion, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.69%. In the biostimulants market, Europe held a dominant 39.29% share in 2023. This was noted in a report titled "Biostimulants Market, 2024-2032" by Fortune Business InsightsTM.
Biostimulants are substances that improve crop quality and agricultural output by promoting plant growth, increasing nutrient uptake, and increasing stress tolerance. Farmers are turning more and more to biostimulants to boost crop yields and profits. Since many biostimulants are derived from natural sources, they can be used with organic farming practices. They give organic farmers practical tools to increase crop productivity and resilience while maintaining organic certification standards. The application of chemicals or microbes to plants in order to improve crop quality, resistance to abiotic stress, and nutritional efficiency is known as biostimulant cultivation. The market is growing as a result of growing worries about the environment and climate, a trend toward sustainability, and a rise in interest in organic farming.
Segments
Improving Biochemical and Physiological Properties of Crops to Encourage Non-Microbial Segment Growth
Based on the source, the market is split into microbial and non-microbial sectors. The non-microbial sector leads the market and is expected to grow at a significant rate throughout the course of the projected period. The growth of this segment is attributed to the expanding biochemical and physiological features of crops.
Expanding Worldwide Seaweed Farming to Drive Seaweed Extracts Market Growth
Based on the active ingredient, the market is divided into categories such as humic substances, seaweed extracts, vitamins & amino acids, microbial amendments, and others. Due to the growth of seaweed agriculture, the seaweed extracts segment is currently dominating the market.
Elevated Foliar Spray Efficiency in Strengthening Plant Health Extension of the Foliar Application Domain
Based on application, the market is split into three segments: foliar application, soil treatment, and seed treatment. Foliar spray has been so effective at improving plant health that it has held the largest proportion of the biostimulants market.
Increased Use of Greenhouse Vegetable Production to Support the Row Crops Segment's Growth
Depending on the kind of crop, the market is separated into sections for grass and ornamentals, fruits and vegetables, row crops, and other categories. Over the course of the projection period, the row crops category is expected to dominate the market due to the rising demand for high-value crops and the growing use of greenhouse vegetable production.
Geographically speaking, the market is investigated in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and the Middle East and Africa.
