Increase in Need for Sustainable Agricultural Practices Supports the Growth of the Biostimulants Market

Northbrook, IL, USA, 2019-Dec-11 — /EPR Network/ — The biostimulants market is estimated to account for USD 2.6 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 4.9 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 11.24% during the forecast period. The market is primarily driven by the strong market demand for high-value crops across the globe and the increasing need to support crop growth due to abiotic stress, arising from changing climatic conditions. In addition, technological advancements by the key players in most of the regions have led to high demand for biostimulant products.

The seaweeds extracts segment is projected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period.

Extracts from marine algae, known as seaweed extracts, are marketed to be used in the agriculture industry. Intensive research on biostimulants and plant nutritional products has increased the awareness pertaining to the benefits of seaweed extracts in agriculture. Application of seaweed extracts in agriculture not only reduces the side effects of harmful agrochemicals but also helps in protecting the environment. High marine culture and seaweed production in the Asian countries is projected to drive the seaweed extracts segment in this region, wherein low-value production of seaweed extracts by the Indian and Chinese domestic players can be observed.

The foliar treatment segment is estimated to dominate the biostimulants market in 2019.

Foliar spray application is one of the most widely used methods of using biostimulants, to maximize production efficiency. The direct application on leaves through the foliar application method is considered the most effective way of supplying nutrients to plants, resulting in the rapid absorption and enhancement of micronutrient intake in each part of the shoots and roots. Moreover, the foliar application method is found to be a highly effective way of utilizing biostimulants for fruit & vegetable crops.

Asia Pacific is projected to witness the highest growth in the biostimulants market during the forecast period.

The global biostimulants market was dominated by Europe, in terms of value, in 2018, due to the adoption of modern agricultural technology such as precision farming and plant biotechnology, and organic-based active ingredients. However, the demand for biostimulants in developing regions such as Asia Pacific and South America has significantly increased. According to FAOSTAT, in 2016, the Asia Pacific occupied 36.4% of the global agriculture land. The agriculture industry in Asia, particularly in the Southeast Asian countries, has witnessed effective transformation due to various technological advancements. Significant adoption of biostimulants can be witnessed in China, India, Australia, Japan, and Indonesia. Moreover, commercial seaweed cultivation provides further growth opportunities in the region. Innovative companies such as Sea6 Energy (India) are exclusively offering seaweed-based biostimulants along with technological platforms such as TARMA and SPURT.

There are many domestic and global players that provide biostimulants for a wide range of crops across the world. Major manufacturers are based in Europe and Asian countries. In multiple regions, due to unclear regulation, an ambiguity exists between biostimulants and biofertilizers. Hence, the scope of this report includes a detailed study of those biostimulant manufacturers, whose portfolios mention the products as biostimulants. Key companies in the biostimulants market are BASF (Germany), Isagro (Italy), Valagro (Italy), Bayer (Germany), Italpollina (Italy), Koppert Biological Systems (Netherlands), Acadian Seaplants (Canada), UPL (India), and Biolchim (Italy). Various strategies such as acquisitions, joint ventures, and new product launches were adopted by the companies to enter the biostimulants market.

Key questions addressed by the report:

• How would the biostimulants market be dependent on the biologicals and crop nutrition industries, and which crop type would adopt maximum usage of biostimulants?
