Sustainable Growth Opportunities in the Biostimulants Market

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. Biostimulants are biologically derived compounds that help to improve crop vigor, yield, quality, and tolerance to abiotic stresses. They can be applied to plants, seeds, soil, and other growing media to nurture the plant’s growth and development throughout its lifecycle, from seed germination to plant maturation. Biostimulants have been used for many years; the industry began to gain importance among growers and manufacturers due to many factors, such as the development of new technologies, growth in investment in the industry, and the lower growth rate of the agrochemical industry with falling commodity prices.

Restraints: Commercialization of low-quality biostimulant products

Lack of transparency in patent protection laws in various countries has led to the prevalence of low-quality products. Even though the biostimulants market has limited entry barriers and allowed many competitors to commence operations, the nature of the market has become fragmented into smaller pockets of market holdings. This has been a factor in introducing low-quality products in the market by regional or local manufacturers to reap the benefits of the growing demand for biostimulants. The low prices of these products from small-scale domestic manufacturers also attract farmers to purchase them. Similar product formulations from many competitors reduce consumer loyalty as well as the brand value of the products. The biostimulants market is expected to be a niche market experiencing strong growth trends, which has to be capitalized on by developing innovative products that act on a wide range of crops with better results. When a company does not develop its unique selling proposition in the biostimulants market, it would find difficulty expanding its presence other than in the regional market.

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.

Global initiatives such as the “Good Seed Initiative by Commonwealth Agricultural Bureaux International (CABI) for the Sub-Saharan, African and Asian countries and the SeEdQUAL by Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) are driving the use of effective biostimulants in the global seed treatment industry. The biostimulant seed treatment products not only help in protecting seeds but also act as seed enhancers. With the intervention of changes in different formulations and active ingredients, these biostimulants, in combination with biopesticides, bioinsecticides, and other biocontrols, provide a broad spectrum of protection from insects, diseases, and nematodes. By establishing a symbiotic relationship between roots and soil, biostimulants provide essential benefits to crop efficiency and productivity. Such innovations are expected to offer growth opportunities for key players in the market.

Vitamins and minerals is projected to grow in the food encapsulation market because of usage in superfoods for boosting brain and bone health

Consumers’ increasing attention to health and prevention, greater customized nutrition needs for different segments of the population, rising healthcare costs, search for alternatives to cure specific problems, and rising consumer awareness regarding the severity of chronic diseases drive the need for vitamins and minerals.

Vitamins are functional ingredients used in food products due to their specific nutritional properties. They are classified as fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins. Fat-soluble vitamins contain vitamins A, D, E, and K. Vitamins B and C form a part of water-soluble vitamins. When added as a food ingredient, it is vital to target and control the release of these vitamins. This drives the need for their encapsulation. According to an article by Nutraingredients in 2019, over 40% of the vitamins consumed in the food industry are encapsulated. The encapsulation of vitamins is necessary to enclose vitamin molecules in a stable shell to prevent oxidation, preserve the nutrients, and prevent the products from deteriorating for a longer period of time.

Robotic Technology in Food Encapsulation is One of the Major Trends

Robots enhance the process of packaging nutraceutical supplements by being time-efficient and accurate. They increase the shelf life of nutraceutical ingredient products and help them comply with regulatory guidelines by reducing the risk of contamination. Furthermore, the recent increase in demand for nutritional supplements requires large-scale production, increasing the demand for robots to optimize production facilities.

Analyzing machine performance, gathering data, and troubleshooting in advance are the key robotics trends in the nutraceutical ingredients market projected to increase technology adoption in the industry. COBOTs are primarily used in the nutraceutical industry for such applications. According to TransAutomation Technologies, the labor expenditures of three people each day can be offset by a single robot that can perform one function for 24 hours per day. This helped several pharmaceutical and nutritional supplement manufacturers increase productivity, reducing their need for human labor and the challenges and costs that go along with it. Collaborative robots enable humans and robots to work together effectively in open or uncaged environments. Through collaborative robots, a human operator and robot can be engaged together in the same process, or the operator can simultaneously manage other tasks that a person might better solve.
