Global Biostimulants market was valued US$ 1.90 Bn in 2017 and is estimated to reach US$ 4.30 Bn by 2026 at a CAGR of about 10.75% during a forecast period. The report segment of biostimulants market based on active ingredient, crop type, application, form, and region. In terms of active ingredient, the biostimulants market is divided into acid based, seaweed extract, microbial, others. Based on crop type, the biostimulants market is classified into row crops & cereals, fruits & vegetables, turf & ornamentals, others. On the basis of application, the biostimulants market is categorized into foliar, soil, seed. Based on form, the biostimulants market is segmented into dry, liquid. Region wise into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa and Latin America. Biostimulants are 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. Biostimulants help in developing microflora, which, in turn, improves nutrient uptake by plants. They rise antioxidant activity and reduce plant stress against the environment and various diseases. However, lack of education and awareness among farmers, and number of challenges faced by new entrants and small players restraints the growth of biostimulants market. Also, unavailability of standardized regulatory framework for biostimulants and scientific & technical challenges for improvement of biostimulants challenges the growth of this market to some extent. Biostimulants market is segmented into active ingredient, crop type, application, form, and region. In terms of active ingredient, Acid-based biostimulants formed the largest active ingredient segment in 2017. Products based on fulvic, humic, and amino acids are contain in the acid-based segment. Seaweed extracts are expected to register the fastest growth rate over the forecast period. These are primarily used as biostimulants owing to presence of plant growth substances such as cytokinins, auxins, and gibberellins carbohydrates. Based on crop type, Row crops and cereals lead the overall biostimulants market based on crop type.
