Biostimulants Market size to exceed $9.5 Bn by 2032

Biostimulants Market size is anticipated to surpass USD 9.5 billion in revenue by 2030, as per a recent research report announced by Global Market Insights Inc.
 

Increasing food consumption and growing environmental concerns as the chief drivers of the biostimulants industry. The consistent growth of precision farming practices is also elevating the use of biostimulants for plants, which is set to fuel market growth. For instance, in May 2022, a new precision farming initiative called the I-FARM was funded by USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) that focuses on sustainability in farming practices.
 

Presence of healthy metal elements to boost extract-based active ingredients uptake

With respect to active ingredients, the study classifies biostimulants market into acid-based, extract-based, and others. The extract-based segment is projected to grow at over 11% CAGR between 2023 and 2032. The segment growth is driven by the extensive use of extract-based ingredients as they contain growth substances, such as gibberellins carbohydrates, auxins, and cytokinins, along with other healthy metal elements viz., nitrogen, aluminum, potassium, iron, and manganese.
 

Mounting usage for decorative purposes to fuel turf & ornamentals segment expansion

Heavy demand for biostimulants for turf & ornamental crops. The biostimulants industry size from the turf & ornamentals segment is expected to reach USD 1 billion in revenue by 2032. The turf & ornamentals are usually grown for decorative & utility purposes in gardens and lawns including barbary figs, rosa sericea, English lavender, and peyote, among others. The surging need for enhancing root growth in plants by extending the length of roots, as well as improving nutrient intake, water absorption, and the appearance of crops.
 

Low manufacturing cost to push dry biostimulants adoption

Biostimulants market share from dry form segment was worth more than USD 2 billion in 2022 and is foreseen to grow substantially over the forecast period. The segment growth is attributable to various health benefits of dry biostimulants, such as low cost of manufacturing, high cell division, plant respiration, and photosynthesis, which improves lateral bud development and delays the aging process of plant tissues.
