Abstract, Snapshot, Market Analysis & Market Definition: Global Biostimulants Market


The global biostimulants market size was estimated at USD 1.74 billion in 2016, projected to expand at a CAGR of 10.2% from 2017 to 2025. Rising focus on enhancing productivity, coupled with rapid soil degradation, is likely to drive the market over the forecast period.
Biostimulants are emerging as an essential component in sustainable agricultural practices. Instances of environmental hazards and soil contamination from injudicious and excessive application of chemical-based products on crops have been a key issue for the industry in recent times. Biostimulants are an effective substitute to chemical-based agro products and are replacing these at a higher rate on account of their environment-friendly nature and performance efficiency.
 
Biostimulant manufacturers such as Biostadt India Limited are engaged in offering customized product solutions, which are specific to crop type and soil. They also educate farmers regarding the benefits of these superior agro products, along with expanding the geographic presence of the company. Key players are focusing on strengthening their position in existing market conditions, especially in emerging economies, through various expansion strategies.
Companies are adopting backward and forward integration to increase their profit margins and gain a higher bargaining power. This is bound to intensify the competition over the forecast period. Research and development activities, along with expanding product lines, are predicted to majorly impact the overall competitive scenario through 2025.

Key Players, Recent Developments & Regional Insights: Global Biostimulants Market


The global market is dominated by the foliar application technique, while seed treatment is expected to exhibit the highest revenue-based CAGR of 12.3% over the course of the forecast period. Seed treatment is among the most cost-effective applications as compared to conventional spraying techniques. The treatment is performance-efficient as well as not as labor intensive as other methods. This aids in reducing overall input costs. These factors are likely to drive the segment through 2025.
 
In the foliar treatment of plants, the product is directly applied onto leaves to facilitate easier absorption of nutrients. Absorption is carried out by the epidermis and stomata. Biostimulants promoted for foliar treatment are primarily marketed in liquid form to enable easier application. Gycine betaine, chelated nutrients, and IPA molecule are among the major active ingredients utilized in these products for foliar application. The treatment enables faster absorption of nutrients by leaves, enhances nutrient uptake, and increases cellular activity.

Regional Insights
Europe is the largest revenue-generating region in the global market and is anticipated to continue its dominance over the forecast period. Supportive regulations to increase production of organic foods are expected to increase the application of biostimulants. However, sluggish growth of the agriculture sector in Western Europe is expected to remain a restraining factor for the market. In addition, presence of biofertilizers is expected to pose a substitution threat over the coming years.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness promising growth over the forecast period on account of presence of various agriculture-driven economies such as India, China, and Australia. Countries in Asia Pacific are highly diverse in terms of income levels, spending capacities, and food consumption habits. The agriculture sector in the region is witnessing steady growth and the population is mainly dependent on the farming sector. This presents lucrative growth opportunities for the market in the region.
