Product Code: SR112025A6243
The global agricultural microbial market size reached USD 10.6 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 25.6 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 9.79% during 2025-2033. The market is experiencing significant growth driven by increasing pressure from the consumer and regulatory agency for sustainable farming practices, heightening demand to improve the yields in farming and food production to feed a rising population, and escalating awareness and stringent policy on the impact of chemical inputs such as pesticides and fertilizers.
Agricultural microbials are microorganisms that are used in various agricultural practices to improve crop productivity and quality of yield. They comprise bacteria, archaea, yeasts, molds, algae, protozoa, and viruses. They enhance the ability of crops to resist temperature, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, salinity, floods, drought, and damage caused by insects, herbivores, nematodes, fungi, bacteria, or weeds. They assist in increasing rhizobacterial promotion of plant growth by providing various nutrients, such as phosphorous and nitrogen. They also aid in balancing plant hormones, producing stress-protective compounds, and reducing various plant diseases. In addition, agricultural microbials are widely used to maintain fertility and improve the quality of the soil.
Agricultural Microbial Market Trends:
The growing awareness among the masses about the benefits of using agricultural microbials in farming, such as the decomposition of organic matter, recycling of old agricultural material, and improving plant health, represents one of the key factors driving the market. Besides this, there is a rise in the demand for sustainable agricultural practices to maintain soil quality, reduce soil erosion, and preserve fresh water. This, along with the burgeoning agriculture industry, is contributing to the growth of the market. In addition, the escalating demand for organic farming to reduce the risk of environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Moreover, increasing investments by key market players to introduce automated greenhouse facilities with the most innovative, sustainable, and technically advanced crop protection solutions are positively influencing the market. Apart from this, the rising demand for the liquid formulation of agricultural microbials due to their ease of application is propelling the growth of the market. Additionally, the escalating demand for agricultural microbials to enhance nitrogen fixation, promotion of shoot and root growth, and disease control in plants are bolstering the growth of the market.
