The growing popularity of micronutrients for increasing crop yield and productivity is driving the market growth. Rising demand of micronutrients for soil enrichment, seed treatment, soil fertilization, foiler, and aquaponics application is also fueling the market growth. Lack of arable land is raising demand for high crop yield in limited farmland. This, in turn, has increased demand for micronutrients. Growing adoption of micronutrients for high-quality agricultural outcome is pushing the market growth uphill.
The latest report by Value Market Research expects the Global Micronutrients Market to reach USD 11.1 billion by 2025. It was valued USD 6.48 billion in 2018. The report foresees an 8% CAGR from 2019 to 2025.
ZINC EMERGED AS THE LEADING PRODUCT SEGMENT
In 2018, zinc dominated the product segment. Zinc accounted for maximum market share as it promotes the growth of a variety of crops such as rice, maize, bean, potato, etc. Also, increasing use in photosynthesis, sugar formation, phytohormone synthesis, protein synthesis and other crucial pathways are again increasing demand for zinc.
SOIL DOMINATED THE APPLICATION SEGMENT
By application, soil has emerged as a leading segment in 2018. Decreasing arability of soil is majorly driving demand for micronutrients for enrichment of soil. Presence of micronutrient enhances soil properties such as organic matter content, clay content and pH balance leading to increases in crop yield is again fueling the segment growth.
ON THE BASIS OF CROP, CEREALS LED THE SEGMENT
In 2018, cereals dominated the segment and has accounted for maximum market share. Rising consumption of cereals such as maize, wheat, oats, etc. is driving the segment growth. Growing demand for cereal bars, biscuits and snacks are contributing the segment growth.
ASIA PACIFIC DOMINATED THE REGIONAL MARKET
In 2018, Asia Pacific emerged as the leading regional market owing to the booming agricultural sector in countries such as India and China. The growing focus on better quality and high yield of the crop to fulfill the regional demand is again contributing the market growth.
MAJOR PLAYERS OF THE MARKET
BASF SE, Coromandel International Ltd., K+S AG, Sociedad Quimica y Minera SA, The Mosaic Company, and Yara International ASA are the key players of the micronutrient market.
As per this study the Global Micronutrients Market was valued USD XX BN (by revenue) in 2021 and is anticipated to reach USD XX BN by 2028 with a CAGR of X%.
Micronutrients are the most essential elements for healthy plant growth. Some of the major micronutrients required by crops and plants are boron, iron, copper, manganese, molybdenum, zinc and chlorine along with some vitamins which are required in small quantities in phytochemicals and organisms. Basically, they are naturally found in plants & few animal-based foods and can also be synthesized artificially.
Market Dynamics
The growing need for improving quality and uniformity in crop yield across the agricultural industry along with dearth arable land is likely to drive the growth of the micronutrients market over the forecast period. Expanding hydroponic industry along with the improvement in faring practicing is again expected to fuel the market growth. On the other hand, a lack of awareness regarding the benefits of micronutrients among farmer is likely to hinder the market growth.
