Agricultural Micronutrients Industry to 2027 – Key Drivers, Challenges, Competitive Analysis, and Trends
Market
Forecast
Global
Agricultural Micronutrients Market has been
projected to be valued at USD 7.3 Billion by 2026 at a CAGR of 8.4% between
2020 and 2026. Micronutrients play an important role in agriculture by
promoting sustainable crop production. Owing to various factors such as
continuous fertilization in limited agricultural land, the over-application of
fertilizers or manure, and also due to natural calamities, soil tends to lose
essential nutrients which causes nutrient deficiencies in the soil and impacts
the growth of crops and their nutrient content negatively. Thus, the continuous
rise in demand for nutrition-rich food from the rising population is boosting
the growth of the agricultural micronutrients market. The market players are
also emphasizing on product launches, partnerships, acquisitions, and
expansions to meet the increasing market demand. For instance, in June 2017,
AkzoNobel declared its plan to invest more than USD 12 million in Sweden to
expand the production capacity for its chelated micronutrients, which are
considered as essential in the agricultural market.

Growth
Opportunities in the Market
High
Demand for Cereals & Grains: The cereals & grains segment
dominated the global agricultural micronutrients market in 2019 and is
anticipated to remain dominant during the review period. Among all the crops,
cereals & grains are the most consumed and account for the largest
proportion of agricultural land worldwide. Also, the increasing demand for
plant-based foods has further boosted the demand for cereals & grains in
food processing industries. Manganese, Copper, and Zinc are the top three micronutrient
deficiencies found in cereal crops.
Deficiency
of Zinc in the Soil Across the Globe: In plants, zinc is an essential
constituent of many enzymes and proteins and plays a vital role in a wide range
of processes, such as growth hormone production and internode elongation.
However, Zinc deficiency is probably the most common micronutrient deficiency
in crops worldwide, resulting in substantial losses in crop yields.
Product
Innovation on Chelated Micronutrients: Non-chelated micronutrients hold a substantial
share in the agricultural micronutrients market owing to their high
affordability and availability. However, chelated compounds are more stable
than non-chelated compounds, and the key players such as AkzoNobel and BASF SE
are investing heavily in the innovation of chelated agricultural
micronutrients.
Increasing
Adoption of the Fertigation Method: The most common method of micronutrient
application for crops is soil application. This method has been traditionally
used in many countries and is fast and economical. However, advancements in
fertigation technology have increased the adoption of the fertigation method
among farmers.
