The global biostimulants market is estimated to be valued at USD 3.5 billion in 2022. It is projected to reach USD 6.2 billion by 2027, recording a CAGR of 11.8% during the forecast period. Food and agricultural production systems worldwide are facing unprecedented challenges, from the increasing demand for food for a growing population, rising hunger and malnutrition, adverse climate change effects, overexploitation of natural resources, loss of biodiversity, and food loss and waste. These challenges can undermine the world’s capacity to meet its food needs now and in the future.

According to FAO, in 2021, organic agriculture will be practiced in 187 countries, and 72.3 million hectares of agricultural land will be managed organically. The global sales of organic food and drinks reached more than USD 103.68 billion in 2019. There is a paradigm shift in India post the COVID-19 pandemic as consumers began to buy more organic foods as a preventive health measure. Organically grown fresh fruit has taken a leading position in international trade. The production and sales of organic food are from developed countries, but even developing countries have begun to produce and export organic foods and products. According to APEDA, India is the leading exporter of organic tea and coffee, spices, and condiments. India also exports organic fruits and vegetables. The rich nutritional value of organic fruits and vegetables is the main reason for their demand in the domestic and global markets. Organic foods have more antioxidants than conventionally grown varieties, making them more beneficial for health, including cancer prevention.
Opportunities: Growing demands for seed treatment
According to MarketsandMarkets insights, there is a growing demand for biostimulant treated seeds globally. The production of high-quality and effective seeds is essential for obtaining a higher crop yield. Biostimulants facilitate an increase of seed vigor during the crucial growth phases, due to which they are being used globally for seed treatment purposes. In addition, many companies have already started exploring this segment with increased investments in R&D activities. The right combination of synthetic crop protection and biological-based seed treatments is proving to be useful. Cotton seedlings were the first to be treated on a large scale with biological solutions in the US in 1999; the industry has grown since. Seed treatment provides an efficient mechanism for enhancing the activity of seeds in the soil environment, where they are appropriately positioned to colonize seedlings and roots and protect them against soil-borne diseases and pests.
Nanoencapsulation Technology to Create New Effective Products is one of the Major Trends
Natural antimicrobials and biostimulants hamper the negative impact of agrochemicals, and their delivery needs a proper carrier system. Nanoencapsulation technologies are widely applied in the field of food and pharmaceuticals and are rapidly taking center stage in agricultural applications. Nanoencapsulation techniques such as those based on lipid-based delivery systems, electro-spinning, electro-spraying, and complex coacervation are being developed. New-generation delivery systems, such as nanostructured lipid carriers, solid lipid nanoparticles, and biological nanocarriers, are proving to be highly effective with their functionalities for entrapping bioactive compounds. With a substantial improvement over conventional agricultural methodologies, these promising nanoencapsulation technologies have tremendous scope for the effective and sustained release of bioactive for precision crop protection and production.

Europe dominated the biostimulants market and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 11.5% during the forecast period.
Europe accounted for the largest share in the biostimulants market in 2021. An increase in land degradation, the need for quality parameters, and the need for high product yield have strengthened the European regulatory authorities demand for clean and sustainable input solutions. The concept of organic production has also gained popularity among farmers and consumers in the last decade. The need for organic products, such as biostimulants, has seen a rising trend in the EU. This has boosted various European biostimulant companies expanding their global network to reach the untapped market. The region has also launched the ‘European Green Deal’ initiative, which aims to expand the use of sustainable practices, such as precision agriculture, organic farming, agroecology, agroforestry, and stricter animal welfare standards. The new ‘Farm to Fork’ Strategy aims at reducing the environmental and climate footprint of the EU food system, strengthening its resilience, ensuring food security, facilitating the transition toward competitive sustainability from farm to fork, and making use of new business opportunities.
