European Biostimulants Market

“European Biostimulants Market: Industry Analysis, Market Size, Share, Trends, Application Analysis, Growth and Forecast, 2023-2028” provides a deep and thorough evaluation of the biostimulants market in the Europe on the basis of active ingredient (Humic Substances, Seaweed Extracts, Microbial Amendments, Trace Minerals, Vitamins & Amino Acids and Others), Application Method (Foliar Treatment, Soil Treatment and Seed Treatment), Crop Type (Row Crops, Fruits & Vegetables, Turfs & Ornamentals and Others), Form (Dry and Liquid Form) and Country (Germany, France, United Kingdom, Italy, Spain and Others). Biostimulants are substances or microorganisms that promote plant development throughout the crop lifespan. They comprise various active ingredients, such as fluvic acid, protein hydrolysates, seaweed extracts, inorganic compounds, microbes, and biopolymers. Biostimulants are widely applied to seeds, plants, foliar, and soil of various crops, such as fruits, vegetables, oilseeds, cereals, pulses, and grains. They enhance nutrient uptake, improve abiotic stress tolerance, and increase crop yield. Biostimulants reduce the need for fertilizers, improve plant traits, promote good crops, and enhance soil quality. They also aid in optimizing plant health, boosting natural defense systems, and increasing resistance to pests and diseases.

The rising consumption of organic food is one of the primary factors driving the market growth in the region. Biostimulants are widely used for organic farming of citrus, pome fruits, grape, olives, broccoli, cabbage, cucumber, carrots, onion, eggplant, cauliflower, turf, flowers, and ornamentals, as they boost crop vigor, production, quality, and sensitivity to abiotic stress. In addition to this, rising consumer demand for clean-label products that are farmed using natural substances and processes is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Furthermore, the increasing initiatives by the European Union (EU), such as the Green Deal, which aims to reduce the utilization of synthetic chemicals and fertilizers and promote sustainable agriculture, are providing an impetus to the market growth. Along with this, the formation of the European Biostimulants Industry Council (EBIC) to ensure biostimulant technologies are treated as an integral part of sustainable agriculture represents another factor contributing to the market growth. Additionally, the recent development of biostimulants from agro-food and industrial by-products, which aids in recycling and reducing waste, is positively influencing the market growth. Moreover, rising awareness among farmers regarding various product benefits as they are eco-friendly and organic and help plants cope with extreme conditions is favoring the market growth. Other factors, including increasing demand for sustainable agriculture, rising subsidies by regional governments, increasing investment in research and development (R&D) activities to formulate novel combinations of biostimulants, and rapid expansion of organic farming, are anticipated to drive the market growth.
