Biostimulants Market Set to Reach USD 8.7 Billion by 2031 as Growers Embrace Sustainable Crop-Nutrition Solutions

Chicago, May 28th, 2025 - Clearview Market Insights (CVMI) forecasts that the global biostimulants market will expand from USD 3.7 billion in 2024 to USD 8.7 billion by 2031, reflecting a robust compound annual growth rate of 10.9 percent. This surge is powered by sweeping regulatory changes, escalating fertilizer costs, and breakthroughs in microbial and seaweed-derived technologies that enhance nutrient-use efficiency and abiotic-stress tolerance.

Biostimulants are transitioning from optional supplements to essential components of mainstream nutrient programs," said Laura Mitchell, lead ag-inputs analyst at CVMI. "The ability to raise yields while meeting residue restrictions and sustainability metrics makes them one of the fastest-growing categories in crop inputs.

Key Numbers:
• 2024 market value: USD 3.7 billion
• 2031 market value: USD 8.7 billion
• Seven-year CAGR: 10.9 percent
• Seaweed and microbial products: 41% of 2024 revenues
• Europe share: 38%, Asia-Pacific fastest growth at 13.4% CAGR

Market Drivers:
1. Regulatory Tailwinds - The European Fertilising Products Regulation, Brazil's forthcoming decree, and India's Fertiliser Control Order amendment collectively accelerate the approval of biological inputs and incentivise their adoption.
2. Fertiliser Cost Pressures - Elevated global prices for urea, MAP, and potash are prompting growers to seek inputs that enhance nutrient-use efficiency.
3. Climate Resilience Imperative - Drought, salinity, and heat waves increase the demand for products that alleviate abiotic stress and protect yield stability.
4. Consumer and Retailer Demand - Supermarkets require residue-free or "biologically grown" certifications, rewarding farms that incorporate biostimulants.

Company Highlights:
• Valagro / Syngenta Biologicals Invested USD 90 million in a Malaysian extraction plant to triple the output of peptide-enhanced seaweed complexes.
• BASF integrated biostimulant decision algorithms into its Xarvio field-management platform, allowing growers to optimize the timing of foliar applications according to moisture-stress windows.
• UPL partnered with a U.K. synthetic biology start-up to commercialize nitrogen-efficiency microbes for sugarcane and maize.
• ICL and an AI discovery firm identified twelve new phosphorus-solubilising strains now scaling in controlled-environment trials.

Regional Highlights:
• Europe - Harmonised labelling brings cross-border trade efficiency; vineyard, orchard, and protected-crop sectors lead demand.
• Asia-Pacific - India allocates ten percent of fertiliser subsidy budgets to biological inputs, while China's "zero fertiliser growth" goal speeds provincial biostimulant certification.
• North America - Carbon-market premiums and regenerative-agriculture standards fuel adoption across maize, soybean, and specialty vegetable acreage.
• Latin America - Brazilian soybean growers record double-digit yield gains with humic-acid seed treatments; sugarcane sector pilots drought-mitigation consortia.
• Middle East & Africa - Greenhouse clusters in the Gulf deploy desalination-compatible seaweed extracts to tackle salinity stress.

2024-25 Milestones:
Quarter Event Outcome
Q1 2024 Corteva launched a foliar stress-manager Maize trials showed five-to-seven-bushel yield uplift under moderate drought
Q2 2024 EU issued efficacy-testing guidance Reduced average dossier approval time by thirty percent
Q3 2024 Brazil released draft biostimulant decree Two-year transition window opens; suppliers anticipate USD 500 million in new registrations
Q4 2024 Hello Nature commissioned U.S. microbial plant Added 50 k t annual capacity for low-salt inoculants
Q1 2025 Syngenta Biologicals expanded Talete technology Drought-mitigation product rolled out to Kazakhstan and Ukraine

Technology Trends:
• Drone-enabled variable-rate application cuts active-ingredient volumes by eighteen percent in initial vineyard deployments.
• Nano-encapsulated humic acids extend field persistence from three to six weeks, permitting fewer passes and reduced labour.
• Circular-economy sourcing of protein hydrolysates trims carbon footprints by up to thirty percent compared with conventional extraction.
• Digital-twin agronomy models integrate soil, weather, and microbial community data to prescribe site-specific application rates, producing predictive yield maps now piloted in California almonds and Australian wine grapes.

Market Share Table (2024):
Rank Company Market share Strategic focus 2025-27
1 Valagro / Syngenta Biologicals 17 % Peptide-enhanced seaweed formulations, APAC hub
2 BASF 15 % Digital integration, drought-stress foliar products
3 UPL 12 % Microbial licensing, Brazil + India penetration
4 Biolchim 9 % Carbon-neutral micronutrient blends
5 Isagro (Gowan) 8 % Organic-certified amino-acid lines in the U.S.
6 Others 39 % Niche crops, regional startups, joint ventures

Roadmap to 2031:
• 2025 - Seventy percent of European fruit acreage will be under biostimulant programs.
• 2027 - Asia-Pacific becomes the world's largest foliar-application market.
• 2029 - Microbial consortia with in-crop signal molecules move from pilot to commercial scale.
• 2030 - Eighty percent of regulated markets fully replace synthetic yield boosters with biological alternatives.
• 2031 - Smart-feed irrigation systems automate biostimulant dosing on more than half of North American high-value vegetable acreage.
