AGRICULTURAL MICRONUTRIENTS MARKET ANALYSIS

Agricultural Micronutrients MarketSize and Trends

Market Dynamics

The augmenting demand for biofuels and rising soil deficiency is one of the major factors propelling growth of the global agricultural micronutrients market. The U.S. Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) expanded the renewable fuel standard to increase biofuel production to 36 billion gallons by 2022.

Moreover, the rising urge for effective fertilizers owing to imperfect soil quality and burgeoning demand for uniform and quality yield backed by rising population is expected to drive the agricultural micronutrients market at a global level. However, lack of awareness of agricultural micronutrients among farmers, especially in the emerging economies and critical application doses of these micronutrients are key factors restraining factors for this market.

Agricultural Micronutrients Market Outlook

• Asia Pacific held a dominant position the global agricultural micronutrients market in 2017. Growing awareness regarding the benefits of micronutrients among the growers is driving growth of the agricultural micronutrients market in India. Also, according to The National Informatics Centre (NIC),  India ranks second in agricultural production in the world and is a leading producer of various agricultural commodities, further boosting growth of the agricultural micronutrients market in the country and thereby, in Asia Pacific. Moreover, in 2017, the Indian biofuels industry aimed to invest US$ 2.25 billion in the upcoming projects over the next years to increase the industry’s value to US$ 7.5 billion by 2022.
• North America held a significant market share in the global agricultural micronutrients market in 2017, with U.S. being the major contributor to the market growth in 2017. This is owing to rise in demand for quality food products and adoption of newer technologies for improving yield. For instance, in 2017 SUL4R-Plus LLC, a provider of innovative fertilizer products for agricultural market, introduced SUL4R-Plus B+Z fertilizer with zinc, boron, sulfur, and calcium.
