Biostimulants Market Insights

Biostimulants Market size was valued at USD 3 Billion in 2023 and is poised to grow from USD 3.23 Billion in 2024 to USD 5.35 Billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period (2025-2032).

Biostimulants are organic products that are used to improve the quality and yield of crops by stimulating their natural processes. Growing adoption of sustainable farming practices around the world is projected to primarily drive up the demand for biostimulants. Rising demand for organic food products and increasing interest in organic farming are also slated to uplift the sales of biostimulants in the future. The rapidly expanding global population and the need to satisfy the food demand for this population is also expected to promote the adoption of biostimulants in farming and agriculture over the coming years. Advancements in the research and development of biostimulants products and supportive government initiatives to promote their usage are also estimated to favor biostimulants market growth in the long run. Targeting agricultural countries such as India and China will be highly rewarding for all biostimulants companies across the study period and beyond. However, lack of awareness, high competition from chemical pesticides and fertilizer, and lack of scientific evidence for efficacy of biostimulants are prime restraints that are slated to slow down growth as per this biostimulants market analysis.

Biostimulants Market Segments Analysis

Global Biostimulants Market is segmented by Active Ingredient, Crop Type, Application and Region. Based on Active Ingredient, the market is segmented into Acid Based, Seaweed Extract, Microbials, Others. Based on Crop Type, the market is segmented into Row Crops and Cereals, Fruits and Vegetables, Turf and Ornaments, Others.  Based on Application, the market is segmented into Foliar Treatment, Soli Treatment, Seed Treatment. Based on Region, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & and Africa. 

Analysis by Crop Type

Row crops and cereals account for a prominent chunk of the global biostimulants market share. High consumption of cereal & grains as a staple food on a global level allows this segment to maintain its dominant stance. The surging demand for exports of commodity crops such as barley, millet, and soybeans are also expected to create new opportunities for bio stimulant companies targeting this segment over the coming years. Growing demand for better yields on row crops and cereals owing to their global consumption is projected to bolster the adoption of novel biostimulants in the future.

The use of biostimulants for fruits and vegetables is projected to increase at an impressive pace across the study period and beyond. The growing popularity of veganism and rising consumption of plant-based food products are promoting the sales of fruits and vegetables. Farmers are focusing on making their fruits and vegetables more commercially appealing through the use of biostimulants to improve their appearance and nutritional characteristics as well. Rising health consciousness among people and surging demand for organic fruits and vegetables are also expected to offer new opportunities for companies involved in the biostimulants industry as per this biostimulants market analysis.

Analysis by Application

The foliar treatment application is forecasted to spearhead the global biostimulants demand outlook. The application of biostimulants on leaves to improve their nutrient absorption capabilities is known as foliar treatment. The majority of biostimulants used in foliar application are in liquid form as they are easier to apply and are used for a wide variety of leaves and crops. Glycine betaine, IPA, and chelated nutrients are projected to be some of the most popular active ingredients used in biostimulants developed for foliar treatment applications. Foliar application of biostimulants also helps improve the cellular activity of crops to improve their health.

Meanwhile, the demand for biostimulants for seed treatment is slated to rise at a rapid pace over the coming years. Less labor and low costs required to achieve desired results using seed treatment is a key factor that is generating new opportunities for bio stimulant companies operating in this segment. Seed dressing, seed pelleting, and seed coating are some highly popular seed treatment applications that bio stimulant providers can focus on to maximize their revenue generation potential in the future. Growing investments in research and development of novel biostimulants aimed at seed treatment will also be a key biostimulants market trend for companies to focus on going forward.

Biostimulants Market Dynamics

Drivers

Rise of Organic Farming

  • Organic farming has emerged in popularity across the world, and this is mostly due to rising awareness regarding the ill-effects of chemical use in agriculture. Increasing health consciousness and rising emphasis on adoption of sustainable agricultural practices are also contributing to the popularity of organic farming and thereby promoting sales of biostimulants.

Surge in Global Food Demand

  • The global population is expanding at a rapid pace and keeping up the rising food demand is getting difficult for farmers around the world. The use of biostimulants allows farmers to enhance their productivity and improve agricultural yield as well, thereby allowing them to satisfy the rapidly increasing food demand.

Restraints

Limited Scientific Evidence for Biostimulants

  • While biostimulants have been proven to help promote plant growth the same is not backed by long-term scientific data and inconsistent results across different climates and soil conditions. This lack of scientific evidence introduces market skepticism and slows down the overall biostimulants market outlook especially in developing countries where farmers are quite bia towards traditional practices.

Lack of Awareness

  • Biostimulants are relatively new in the field of agriculture, which is why not many farmers are aware of their usage benefits and this lack of awareness is projected to impede bio stimulant demand outlook going forward. This factor is estimated to hinder bio stimulant sales in developing and under-developed countries as awareness among farmers regarding new products is quite limited.
