Agriculture Antibacterial Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Crop Type, Type, Form, Mode of Action, Application and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Agriculture Antibacterial Market is accounted for $14.04 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $21.69 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 6.41% during the forecast period. Antibiotics are drugs that treat or prevent bacterial infections in plants, which cause illnesses in plants. It is an antibacterial substance that is applied to agricultural products as a disinfectant. It can be sprayed on plants and plant products, such as fresh vegetables or animal feed, to eliminate bacteria that cause food-borne disease. This bacterium can lead to a number of illnesses, which manifest as overgrowths, leaf spots, soft rots, and other symptoms.

According to the UN Population Division, the largest population increase is projected to occur in Asia (particularly in India, China, and Southeast Asia), accounting for 60% or more of the global population, by 2050.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

• Rising food demand and declining arable land per capita.

• The growing need for food has led to an increase in crop yield, which has provided market participants with an opportunity to find new prospective markets. To enhance food production for the expanding population, significant amounts of crop protection chemicals are anticipated to be essential. Additionally, although new plant technologies are constantly being created to combat pest infestations, they are simultaneously encouraging the emergence of pest strains that are resistant to the technology.

Restraint:

• Environmental challenges.

• Specifically on water quality and soil health, the use of antibacterial agents in agriculture may have an effect on the environment. Antibacterial agents that are carried by farm runoff into rivers and lakes can harm aquatic life and disturb ecosystems. Antibacterial drugs may also affect the beneficial microbial populations in the soil, which might have a negative effect on soil health and the production of crops.

Opportunity:

• Rising demand for antimicrobial agents.

• The use of antimicrobial compounds in agriculture is becoming more and more necessary as antibiotic-resistant conditions proliferate. As a result, there is an increase in demand for agricultural antibacterials that can manage bacterial infections and resistances. The benefits of employing such kinds of products are also recognized by farmers, which will eventually increase their acceptance rates. Additionally, as the public's awareness of these issues grows, there will probably be more international pressure on governments to restrict the use of antibiotics in livestock agriculture, which would also contribute to further market expansion.

Threat:

• Development of resistance.

• The excessive use of antibacterial agents in agriculture may cause bacteria to become resistant, which could ultimately decrease their efficacy. This may make it more difficult for antibacterial drugs to manage infections in livestock and crops and may necessitate the creation of brand-new antibiotics.

COVID-19 Impact:

• The global supply chains for agricultural antibiotics have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. Due to manufacturing delays and transit constraints, there is a lack of manpower. Viral outbreaks have also resulted in a shortage of agricultural antibiotic supplies. The government's relaxation of COVID-19 laws, however, implies that market expansion will be significant.

• The soil treatment segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

• Over the course of the forecast period, the soil treatment segment is anticipated to rise as a result of rising bactericide and other nutrition-improving applications, as well as the development of regulators of plant growth for pest protection in the early stages of crop production. Additionally, increased agricultural yields and improved crop quality may result from improved soil health and the prevention of the transmission of soil-borne diseases.

• The fruits & vegetables segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

• In the global market for agricultural antibacterials, the fruits and vegetable segment is anticipated to experience the highest CAGR. The usage of antibacterials was most prevalent in fruits and vegetables, especially citrus fruits, due to considerable bacterial infestations, which led to production losses. Fruit and vegetable farmers are willing to spend on crop inputs because of the high profit margins associated with these high-value crops. As a result, end-use farmers can afford to perform. Furthermore, as the incidence of chronic diseases like diabetes and heart conditions, which are the world's primary causes of mortality, rises, consumers' preferences for fresh fruit are expanding across the board. This trend has been fueled by growing consumer awareness of healthy lifestyle alternatives.

Region with largest share:

The Asia-Pacific region held the largest proportion of the antibacterial market in agriculture throughout the projected period due to the expansion of agricultural activities combined with the rise in demand for high-quality crops. Moreover, due to farmers' growing awareness of the ways bacterial infections affect crop yields, the countries in this region have witnessed an increase in the usage of antibacterials.

Region with highest CAGR:

Due to favorable rules against the use of antibiotics and substantial demand for animal protein sources, which have a significant impact on agricultural output, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to have profitable growth. Additionally, growing demands for food security in Asian countries and an increase in the usage of antibacterial products through innovative farming methods are boosting the region's growth.
