Humic-based Biostimulants Market

Humic-based Biostimulants Industry - Forthcoming Trends to Fuel the Global Growth

The global humic-based biostimulant market is estimated at USD 686 million in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 1,184 million by 2027, reflecting a steady growth rate of 11.5% annually.

Driving factors: This market expansion is attributed to several factors:
  • Farmer adoption: Farmers worldwide are increasingly recognizing the economic and environmental benefits of using humic-based biostimulants.
  • Shifting practices: A transition is underway from conventional practices relying heavily on chemical fertilizers and pesticides towards a more integrated approach that incorporates biological inputs like humic-based biostimulants and biopesticides.
  • Organic farming growth: The steady rise in organic farming, where humic-based biostimulants play a vital role, further fuels market expansion due to the strong demand for organic food products.

In recent years, the global humic-based biostimulant industry has witnessed several emerging trends driven by evolving consumer preferences, technological advancements, and industry innovations. Here's a detailed exploration of these trends:

Emerging trends in the global humic-based biostimulant industry are:

  • Customized formulations of humic-based biostimulants. 
  • Expansion into non-food crop applications. 
  • Combining humic-based biostimulants with other beneficial products.
  • Focus on biostimulants for stress resilience against environmental challenges. 
  • Growing demand in the Asia Pacific region due to large agricultural sectors. 
  • Increasing exploration of liquid formulations for easier application.

Several emerging trends are shaping the trajectory of the humic-based biostimulant industry:

Here's a detailed look at some of these trends:
 
Customized Formulations: This trend caters to specific needs of different crops, soil types, and climatic conditions. Instead of a "one-size-fits-all" approach, biostimulant manufacturers are developing formulations that may include:
  • Targeted blends: Combining various humic substances (fulvic acid, humic acid) in specific ratios to address deficiencies or enhance desired plant responses
  • Micronutrients: Adding essential micronutrients like zinc, manganese, or boron to address regional deficiencies and improve overall plant health.
  • Microbes: Incorporating beneficial microbes like mycorrhizae or rhizobacteria to promote nutrient uptake, root development, and plant growth.

Expansion into Non-Food Crop Applications: The benefits of humic-based biostimulants are being recognized beyond food crops. We can expect to see increased use in:

  • Turf and Ornamentals: Biostimulants can improve turfgrass health, stress tolerance, and aesthetics in golf courses, lawns, and landscaping. They can also enhance the growth and appearance of ornamental plants.
  • Bioenergy Crops: These formulations can promote faster growth and higher yields of biofuel crops like switchgrass or miscanthus.

Combining Humic-Based Biostimulants with Other Beneficial Products: Manufacturers are exploring synergistic combinations of humic substances with other agricultural inputs:

  • Biopesticides: Integrating biostimulants with biopesticides could create a more holistic approach to plant protection, potentially improving plant defense mechanisms and reducing reliance on chemical pesticides.
  • Biofertilizers: Combining humic-based biostimulants with biofertilizers containing nitrogen-fixing bacteria or phosphate-solubilizing bacteria could enhance nutrient availability and plant growth.

Focus on Biostimulants for Stress Resilience: With increasing concerns about climate change and extreme weather events, there's a growing focus on developing biostimulants that help plants cope with stress:

  • Drought Tolerance: Formulations are being designed to improve water retention in soil and enhance plant water use efficiency during drought periods.
  • Salinity Tolerance: Biostimulants can help plants tolerate high salt levels in the soil or irrigation water, which is a growing problem in some regions.

Growing Demand in the Asia Pacific Region: The Asia Pacific region is expected to be a major driver of market growth due to several factors:

  • Large Agricultural Sectors: Countries like China, India, and Southeast Asian nations have vast agricultural sectors that are looking for sustainable intensification methods.
  • Government Support: Some governments in the region are providing incentives for the adoption of organic farming practices, which can further propel the use of humic-based biostimulants.

Increasing Exploration of Liquid Formulations: Liquid formulations offer several advantages over traditional granular or powder forms:

  • Easier Application: Liquids can be readily mixed with water and applied through fertigation systems or foliar sprays, making them more convenient for farmers.
  • Improved Uptake: Liquid formulations generally have higher bioavailability, meaning plants can absorb the nutrients more readily.
