Asia-Pacific Agricultural Microbial Market Analysis

The Asia-Pacific Agricultural Microbial Market size is estimated at USD 2.60 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 5.20 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 19.70% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

Microbial products enhance nutrient availability, promote root growth, and protect plants from diseases, increasing crop yields and farmer profitability. Asia-Pacific countries have relied heavily on chemical inputs to meet the food demands of their growing populations. According to the Union Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Indian farmers used approximately 60,000 metric tons of chemical pesticides annually between FY 2020-2021 and FY 2021-2022. The increasing concerns about chemical residues in food have created a demand for crops grown without synthetic chemicals. In 2023, the European Commission detected pesticide (chlorpyrifos) residue in turmeric imported from India. Microbial solutions provide a practical alternative for producing residue-free crops.

Governments across the Asia-Pacific region are implementing policies and initiatives to promote organic farming through subsidies and awareness campaigns, which increase microbial product adoption. The Vietnamese government has shown commitment to organic agriculture development through targeted policies. As of late 2023, Vietnam allocated approximately 495,000 hectares to organic farming, accounting for 4.3% of the country's total agricultural land. The increasing residue levels in agricultural produce and government support for organic agriculture is expected to drive the agricultural microbial market growth during the forecast period.
