The global biostimulants market revenue, valued at USD 3.64 billion in 2023, is projected to grow from USD 4.03 billion in 2024 to USD 9.75 billion by 2032, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.69%. Europe led the market in 2023, holding a 39.29% share, according to the Biostimulants Market, 2024-2032 report by Fortune Business Insights™.

Biostimulants are composed of substances that promote plant growth, enhance nutrient absorption, and improve stress tolerance, resulting in higher crop yields and better quality. With the growing demand to optimize crop productivity and profitability, farmers are increasingly adopting biostimulants, many of which are derived from natural sources, making them ideal for organic farming. This provides organic growers with effective solutions to boost crop productivity and resilience while adhering to organic standards.

These products involve applying natural or microbial-based compounds to crops to improve growth, stress tolerance, and nutrient efficiency. The biostimulants market is rapidly expanding, driven by environmental concerns, climate change, a shift toward sustainable farming, and increased interest in organic agriculture.
