Agricultural Microbial Market - Forecasts from 2025 to 2030

The Agricultural Microbial Market is expected to grow from US$8,906.035 million in 2025 to US$16,579.166 million in 2030, at a CAGR of 13.23%.

Agricultural microbials are used in agricultural practice to protect crops and increase their productivity. As synthetic pesticides and fertilizers have negative effects on the soil and human health, the demand for biopesticides has been gaining traction, which is anticipated to have a positive impact on the global agricultural microbial market in the coming years. Furthermore, the growing popularity of organic food and the rise of organic farming are some other factors anticipated to boost the growth of the global agricultural microbial market during the forecast period. Moreover, the rising population is leading to an increased demand for food, and hence the adoption of techniques that increase the productivity and protection of crops has been increasing, which is projected to propel the market growth during the assessment period.

The recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease had a positive impact on the global agricultural microbial market. The pandemic led to trade and transport restrictions which led to supply chain disruptions in the market. Also, the restrictions in the gathering and movement of people further provided hurdles to the operations. However, the demand for organic food surged during the pandemic due to its positive health impacts and led to an increased demand for agricultural microbials.

• Rise of organic farming

One of the major factors which are anticipated to propel the growth of the global agricultural microbial market during the forecast period is the growing popularity of organic products and the growth of organic farming. As agricultural microbes are widely used in organic farming, the rise in organic farming is boosting the growth of the agricultural microbial market. Numerous studies have been conducted which have found that organically grown crops have higher nutritional content compared to the conventionally grown crops. Furthermore, organic farming improves soil fertility, reduces soil erosion, uses lesser pesticides, and has many other advantages over the conventional way of farming. As more and more farmers and people are getting aware of it, the prevalence of organic farming has been increasing around the world and is expected to continue growing in the coming years as well. Oceania and Asia are the fastest growing regions witnessing a growth of 195.4% and 140.5% respectively. The expansion of organic farming is projected to continue in the coming years as well and is anticipated to boost the growth of the global agricultural microbial market during the assessment period.
