Biostimulant Market Report, published by Allied Market Research, forecasts that the global market was valued at $1,784 million in 2016, and is projected to reach $4,089 million by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 12.6% from 2017 to 2023. Europe is one of the prominent consumers of biostimulants, accounting for more than 40% of the total market in 2016.
Biostimulants are naturally derived fertilizer additives used to enhance plant growth and productivity. These products also contribute towards nutritional enhancement of agricultural products. Acid- and extract-based biostimulants are the major types of biostimulants available in the market. Acid-based biostimulants include humic acid, fulvic acid, and amino acid, whereas seaweed extracts and other plant extracts are considered under plant extracts. Various regulations are imposed on the use of biostimulants by regulatory bodies.

Increase in demand for high crop yields and quality, and focus on sustainable agriculture to protect the environment drive the growth of biostimulant products. However, lack of education and awareness among farmers about the benefits of using biostimulants in agricultural activities is expected to impede the market growth in the near future.
Humic acid has gained dominance in the recent years, owing to its superior properties as compared to other types of biostimulants. Humic substances are naturally occurring organic materials derived from biological sources, i.e., decomposed organic matter.
Acid-based biostimulants are expected to maintain dominance in the global biostimulant market during the forecast period. However, the extract-based biostimulants are anticipated to gain traction as well. In 2016, Europe dominated the acid-based biostimulant market, with more than 40% revenue share. Humic acid was the dominant type among the acid-based biostimulants in 2016, and is expected to maintain the similar trend during the forecast period. Among the extract-based biostimulants, seaweed extracts held a major share in 2016.
