Global Biostimulants Market to Surpass US$8.2 Billion by 2030, Driven by Sustainable Farming and Technological Advancements

Industry Experts, Inc. has published its latest study, "Biostimulants - A Global Market Overview," forecasting that worldwide revenues will climb from US$3.9 billion in 2024 to approximately US$8.2 billion by 2030, reflecting a vigorous compound annual growth rate of 13% for the 2024-2030 period.

Biostimulants, ranging from humic and fulvic acids to seaweed extracts, amino-acid hydrolysates, beneficial microbes, and trace-element complexes, are rapidly moving into mainstream agronomy as growers confront shrinking arable land, climate-induced stress, and mounting pressure to curb chemical fertilizer use. These inputs stimulate nutrient uptake, improve soil microbiome activity, and heighten plant tolerance to drought, salinity, and temperature extremes, making them indispensable for sustainable yield intensification. Supportive regulations on both sides of the Atlantic, including the European Union's harmonized rules for plant biostimulants and the United States' guidelines for bio-based inputs, have accelerated product approvals and farm-level adoption.

Regionally, Europe retains leadership with an estimated 39.2% share of global demand in 2024, buoyed by strong sustainability mandates, widespread organic acreage, and robust uptake in high-value crops such as wine grapes, olives, and greenhouse vegetables. Asia-Pacific is projected to be the fastest-expanding region, advancing at a 14.4% CAGR, as China, India, and Southeast Asian nations turn to biostimulants to rebuild degraded soils and mitigate climate variability. North America's large-scale row-crop producers, South America's export-oriented fruit sector, and emerging adopters in the Rest of World are likewise deepening use to boost nutrient efficiency, shelf life, and regulatory compliance.

Application patterns mirror these trends. Foliar spray accounts for roughly 63.4% of global biostimulants consumption, prized for rapid uptake through leaf stomata and easy compatibility with standard spraying equipment, while seed treatment is on track for the quickest growth, rising 14.7% a year as coated and pelleted seeds gain traction for boosting germination vigor under volatile field conditions. Crop-wise, cereals and grains remain the largest end-use sector at 42.5% of spending, reflecting urgent yield-intensification needs in wheat, rice, and maize, whereas fruits and vegetables form the fastest-advancing segment on the back of premium pricing, stringent residue standards, and consumer demand for flavor and shelf-life improvements.

The study quantifies market value across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, and Rest of World, and provides detailed segmentation by active ingredient, application method, and crop group. Historical data for 2021-2023, a 2024 base year, and forecasts through 2030 are presented in U.S. dollars. Competitive coverage spans more than ten leading suppliers including BASF SE, Bayer AG, FMC Corporation, Hello Nature Italia, Novozymes A/S, Rovensa Group, Syngenta, and UPL Ltd. with analysis of recent acquisitions, capacity expansions, and technology collaborations shaping the future of plant biostimulation.
