by The agricultural micronutrients market includes various micro-components that are essential for normal plant growth and yield such as iron, zinc, boron, chlorine, manganese, molybdenum, copper, and others. Micronutrients are applied to soil or used as foliar sprays for cereal and grains, fruits and vegetables, oilseeds and pulses, and other crops. Micronutrient deficiencies can reduce crop yields and quality significantly. Increasing emphasis on sustainable agricultural practices and soil health management are expected to drive the demand for micronutrients over the forecast period.
The global agricultural micronutrients market is estimated to be valued at US$ 5.19 Billion in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 27.% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Dynamics
Increased focus on sustainable agriculture practices is a major driver for the agricultural micronutrients market. Micronutrients play a vital role in various plant metabolic activities and promote plant health and stress tolerance. Their application helps improve nutrient-use efficiency and optimize fertilizer usage, aligning well with sustainable agriculture goals. Growing adoption of precision farming and non-conventional fertilizer formulations like fertilizers coated with micronutrients are also expected to support market growth over the forecast period. Additionally, investments in R&D for developing novel formulations suitable for diverse soil compositions and crops will further expand market opportunities. While high costs involved and lack of awareness in some regions pose challenges, initiatives by governments and agriculture organizations promote balanced fertilization practices and soil remediation measures, benefiting micronutrients demand.
Segment Analysis
The global agricultural micronutrients market is dominated by the cereal & grains sub segment accounting for more than 35% share. Cereal and grains form a staple diet for majority of population globally. Micronutrients play a crucial role in increasing the yield and quality of cereal and grains.
