Agricultural Micronutrients Market (By type: Zinc, Boron, Iron, Manganese, Molybdenum, Others (Chlorine and Nickel); By crop type: Cereals & grains, Oilseeds & pulses, Fruits & vegetables, Others (Turfs, ornamentals, plantation crops, forages, and fiber crops); By application: Soil, Foliar, Fertigation, Others (Seed treatment, trunk injection, and implantation)) – Global Industry Analysis, Market Size, Opportunities and Forecast, 2020 - 2027

The global agricultural micronutrients market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.4% from 2020 to 2027 and expected to reach value of around US$ 6,653.4 Mn by 2027.

Micronutrients refer to the essential elements that are used by plants to increase yield and quality of agricultural products. According to some research enriching fertilizers with micronutrients had not only an impact on plant deficiencies but also on humans and animals, through the food chain. There are approx seven nutrients, which are essential to plant growth including boron, chlorine, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, and zinc.

Market Dynamics

The increasing micronutrient deficiency in the soil, owing to the increasing use of chemical fertilizers and unfavorable climatic conditions is driving the market value. The rising focus on crop production and quality coupled with the advancement in fertilizer technology is additionally supporting the market value. Supporting policies from the government to deal with the rising micronutrient deficiency in soil is further accelerating the market value. Furthermore, the development of biodegradable chelates and increasing health issues, along with shifting consumer preference toward a nutrient-rich diet are projected to create potential opportunities over the forecast period.

On the other hand, the booming organic fertilizer industry and bio-accumulation of non-biodegradable chelates are the factors projected to hinder the growth over the estimated period from 2020 to 2027.

Cereals & grains segment accounted for major share in crop type

By crop type, cereals & grains have accounted for the major share in the market in 2019. The increasing food demand owing to the growing population, decreasing nutrients in significant cereal crops such as rice, wheat, and others, and increasing demand for these nutrients in other potential crops is supporting the market value. Moreover, the fruits and vegetable segment is projected to exhibit the fastest growth over the estimated period from 2020 to 2027.
