Biostimulants, substances applied to plants for enhanced nutrition efficiency, increased tolerance to abiotic stress, and improved crop quality traits, find common use in horticulture, particularly in the form of humic-based biostimulants.
The primary types of humic-based biostimulants include fulvic acid, humic acid, and potassium humate. Humic acid comprises molecules that bind to plant roots, facilitating the absorption of water and nutrients. Fulvic acid, a byproduct of decomposition, results from geochemical and biological reactions, such as the breakdown of organic matter in a compost heap. Potassium humate, on the other hand, is the potassium salt of humic acid. These humic-based biostimulants are available in various forms such as liquid, water-soluble granules, and water-soluble powders. They find applications in agriculture, cereals, fiber crops, fruits & vegetables, oilseeds, and are utilized by farmers, related industries, and research institutes.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are influencing the humic based biostimulants market by increasing costs of imported raw materials, extraction equipment, processing machinery, and formulation additives. Agricultural input producers in North America and Europe are most affected due to dependence on imported humic substances, while Asia-Pacific faces pricing pressure on export-oriented formulations. These tariffs are increasing production costs and limiting price competitiveness. However, they are also encouraging local sourcing of organic materials, regional production facilities, and innovation in cost-effective biostimulant formulations.
The humic based biostimulants market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides humic based biostimulants market statistics, including humic based biostimulants industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a humic based biostimulants market share, detailed humic based biostimulants market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the humic based biostimulants industry. This humic based biostimulants market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The humic based biostimulants market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $0.84 billion in 2025 to $0.96 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of organic farming practices, increasing awareness of soil fertility management, expansion of horticultural crop cultivation, rising demand for eco-friendly inputs, availability of humic substance sources.
The humic based biostimulants market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.63 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing focus on sustainable agriculture practices, rising adoption of biological crop inputs, expansion of precision farming techniques, growing investments in soil carbon management, increasing demand for residue-free crop solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of organic crop enhancement solutions, rising demand for soil health improvement products, growing use in horticulture and specialty crops, expansion of liquid biostimulant formulations, enhanced focus on sustainable yield improvement.
The growing demand for sustainable farming solutions is driving the growth of the humic-based biostimulants market. Rising population levels are increasing pressure to produce crops with high-quality yields. According to a spokesperson from Agricen Sciences, an applied sciences research company, the biostimulants market is experiencing rapid growth across all regions, including the USA and Europe. Additionally, the expansion of organic farming has boosted the adoption of humic-based biostimulants globally. For example, in April 2025, according to the Organic Trade Association, a US-based membership organization, the U.S. organic market reached total certified sales of US$ 71.6 billion in 2024, driven by organic food sales of US$ 65.4 billion. Therefore, the combination of sustainable farming solutions and the growth of organic agriculture is expected to propel the humic-based biostimulants market during the forecast period.
Key players in the humic-based biostimulants market are focusing on products with advanced micronutrient technology to strengthen their competitive position. This technology, combined with humic-based biostimulants, helps combat crop diseases, enhancing yield and sustainability. For instance, in July 2023, Bionema Group Ltd., a UK-based manufacturer of natural biopesticides, biostimulants, and biofertilizers, launched a new range of biostimulant products in the UK for agriculture, horticulture, forestry, and turf applications. The microorganisms in these products are encapsulated within Bionema's Incapsulex technology platform, designed to efficiently deliver them to plants and soil. These biofertilizers leverage advanced micronutrient technology to improve plant growth and soil health, catering to users seeking to enhance soil vigor and productivity.
In December 2024, AgroLiquid, a US-based provider of high-efficiency crop liquid fertilizers, acquired Monty's Plant Food Company for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to strengthen AgroLiquid's capabilities in humic-based biostimulants and soil enhancement technologies by integrating Monty's expertise in humic- and fulvic-based products. Monty's Plant Food Company is a US-based manufacturer of humic-based biostimulants and soil conditioners.
