Market Definition
Biostimulants are developed to help farmers in order to meet increased agricultural demand on a sustainable basis. Biostimulants boost crop yield and its value, which positively affects farm productivity. Agricultural biostimulant is comprised of multiple amalgamations of chemicals, substances, and micro-organisms that are added to the plants or soils to boost crop vigor, production, sensitivity to abiotic pressure, and quality. Biostimulants support the growth and production of crops throughout the entire crop life cycle, from seed germination to plant maturity, in a variety of demonstrated ways like regulating plant metabolism. Biostimulants are developed for farmers to meet the demand for sustainable agriculture including quality and improved crop yield, and even for the consumers to meet the demand for organic products so as to cope with health and safety standards. Thus, due to this, investors are increasingly interested in the biostimulant category with respect to the significant growth potential.
Middle East and Africa Biostimulants Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:
Drivers:
- Increasing need for sustainable agriculture
Sustainable agriculture is a current need for growing healthy food for people to protect the health of the plant and preserve the livelihoods of local communities. It restores the soil fertility and provides nourishment to them. Factors like climatic changes and the growing population is creating stress on the agricultural sector to ensure that customers must have sustainable food with good quality. Biostimulant is required for sustainable agriculture as it offers various benefits in terms of high crop productivity and maintenance of soil fertility. It even increases tolerance and recovers plant from abiotic stress when crops undergo uncertain climatic changes such as extreme temperature, irregular rainfall, and other stressful conditions. Biostimulant too prevents nutrients and minerals from leaching and translocation to other ecosystems. It is expected to provide an additional boost to crop growth and productivity and also allow crops to absorb nutrients and more water.
- Upsurge in the demand for seaweed as raw material
Seaweeds are used in agriculture to increase the plant's productivity by enhancing the quality of the soil. Various biostimulants made up of seaweed extracts are used in modern agriculture as a more concentrated means, for delivering benefits to both soils and plants. It helps in improving soil properties including soil structure, water retention, and aeration. Seaweed extracted biostimulant offers many advantages in agriculture including enhancement of seed germination, improvement of plant health, development of root and shoot elongation, increased water and nutrient uptake, frost and saline tolerance, biocontrol and resistance to phytopathogenic species, remediation of polluted soil contaminants and fertilization. These factors is expected to the maximization of productivity and growth of the crops.
- High agricultural production worldwide
Seaweed extracted biostimulant offers many advantages in agriculture including enhancement of seed germination, improvement of plant health, development of root and shoot elongation, increased water and nutrient uptake, frost and saline tolerance, biocontrol and resistance to phytopathogenic species, remediation of polluted soil contaminants and fertilization. These factors will lead to the maximization of productivity and growth of the crops. The usage of biostimulants to enhance crop productivity and growth which in result will directly affect the income of the state positively. Thus, an agricultural scenario in every region is expected to be an essential driving factor of the Middle East and Africa biostimulant market.
Restraint/ Challenge
- Quality issues in manufacturing biostimulants
In recent eras, biostimulant production has been based on natural raw materials and particularly waste stream has gained popularity in the agricultural field. Despite multiple benefits including the ability to enhance crop productivity and soil fertility, certain factors affect crop production for which manufacturers may require investing huge amounts of money.
The main factor that impacts its production is the composition of components such as amino acids, protein hydrolysates, chitin, chitosan, and others. The component of the biostimulant product may get affected due to many factors such as growing conditions, location, season, organ, phase of growth, species, and variety.
Due to variations in these factors, the response of the target crop may vary in field and environment. Changes in place, environmental conditions, and many others affect the content proportion of biostimulants and hence it leads to variation in crop productivity and automatically is expected to hamper the growth of the market.
- High demand of substitute products
Biostimulants are used by farmers to increase the yield and growth of crops. It is being developed with the utilization of different formulations including amino acid, micro-organisms and other active substances which are provided to plants or soils. Applying fertilizers helps to improve quality, crop yields, and tolerance of abiotic stresses. There are other types of products with the same characteristic which are also available in the market such as chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and insecticides. Fertilizers are synthetic chemical products provided to plants in order to increase their efficiency and growth. Chemical fertilizers offer many benefits as compared to biostimulant as it is water soluble and can be easily absorbed both in the soil and plant.
Companies are involved in producing chemical fertilizers due to the high demand from the growers side. Farmers are still utilizing chemical fertilizers due to their rapid effect on crops for high yield and growth. These fertilizers increase crops production by providing large quantities of food products in order to meet the demand of large population. But as a drawback, it can reduce the crop resistance towards insects and pathogens and even leads to soil erosion.
Opportunities
- Rising awareness about biostimulants
Consumer's use of biostimulants has been propelled due to their high demand. This is mainly owing to the growing interest of scientists, private industry, and farmers who are incorporating such nature based products into different environmentally friendly resources which ensure increased plant quality and better yield. The negative impact of excessive usage of chemical fertilizers affects the entire ecosystem which results in leaching, water pollution, loss of microorganisms and environmentally friendly insects, soil acidification or alkalization, and lack of soil fertility. It has been witnessed that consumers prefer organic products which are grown in a more sustainable way, with minimal usage of strong chemical fertilizers. Growers are adapting biostimulants as they wish for greener alternatives to grow their crops. As a result, organizations are conducting conferences with respect to biostimulants which is expected to create opportunities with several benefits in terms of crop growth and productivity.
