Scope of Global Agricultural Microbials Market

Agricultural microbial are produced from microorganisms which are fungi, bacteria, virus and protozoa are beneficial for agriculture to increase productivity and quality of crops. Micro-organism play important role in agriculture such as soil microbes, bacteria and fungi are essential for decomposing organic matter and recycling old plant material. Microorganisms improve crop nutrition and the ability of crops to resist biotic and abiotic stress. Bacteria such as Azotobacter, clostridium and Rhizobium spp absorb atmospheric nitrogen and make it available to the plants in the form of ammonia which is converted into nitrate. Fungi helps to decompose dead organisms these add value in agriculture and fungi produce humus which is the source of nutrient for the plants. Fungi maintain the fertility of the soil and enhance production of crops. Benefits of microorganism in agriculture are it helps to improve structure of the soil, increases fertility of soil, controlling diseases and insect pest, enhance nutrient uptake, increases beneficial minerals in organic compound and boost the strength of plants and yield of crops.

Global Agricultural Microbials Market Dynamics

The key factor for growth of global agricultural microbials market is increasing demand for sustainable, environment friendly, and pollution free organic farming to enhance the productivity of the agricultural plants. As per the recent study Research Institute of Organic Agriculture by FiBL, around 50.9 million hectares of land was organic agricultural land reported in 2014 from over 179 countries across the globe. Among which 2.4 million producers have reported to choose organic farming in developing countries. Thus organic farming is increasing the demand all over the world due to growing health awareness among the people.  The organic farming has huge demand for the agricultural microbials for high feasibility, productivity and yielding of soil.

Moreover rising focus on technological advancement using artificial intelligence, IoT, machine learning etc. for study of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) have created huge opportunity to fuel the global agricultural microbials market during the forecast period. Furthermore, as per the research by Frontiers Institutional Membership, the microbials like arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and rhizobia has shown the significant usage to protect the plants from disease and abiotic stress. In addition the research showed that these microbials has shown the property to provide high yielding of plants.

Furthermore, increasing mergers, collaborations, acquisitions and new service launching by various key prominent players may create huge demand for the agricultural microbials market during the study period. For instance on June 2018, Bayer has been acquired Monsanto business for USD 63 billion to enhance the product portfolio of seeds and traits with innovative chemical and biological crop protection portfolio. However one of the major factors that restrict the agricultural microbials market is lack of functional microorganisms with less technological advancements in microbial inoculants on seed during seed treatment.

Segmentation Analysis
