China Biostimulants Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the China Biostimulants Market according to our research experts:
Humic Acid is the largest Form
- The biostimulant market in China consists of many active ingredients such as humic acid and fulvic acid, amino acids, protein hydrolysates, seaweed extracts, and other biostimulants like organic plants and animal derivatives.
- In 2022, humic acid dominated the Chinese biostimulants market, accounting for about 25.2% and 28.9% of the total market by value and volume, respectively. Humic acid helps improve the root system of crops such as soybean, wheat, rice, and maize; vegetable crops such as potato, tomato, cucumber, and pepper; fruit crops such as citrus (Citrus limon) and grape (Vitis vinifera). Humic acid promotes shoot growth in crops like cucumber, tomato, leeks, peas, wheat, maize, and pepper.
- In China, amino acids accounted for 24.2% of the total biostimulants market value in 2022. The consumption volume of amino acid biostimulants is expected to increase by 49.1% between 2022 and 2029, from 5.0 thousand metric tons in 2022 to 7.4 thousand metric tons in 2029. This is mainly due to the increasing trend in adopting sustainable or organic agriculture in the country.
- Seaweed extracts accounted for 11.3% of the Chinese biostimulants market in 2022. Seaweed extracts biostimulants are expected to witness the fastest growth rate compared to other types of biostimulants as seaweed biostimulants can be prepared in a circular and sustainable way and can be mixed with other ingredients as a part of fertilizer. They offer specificity of action to improve the yield of crops.
- Despite the potential positive effects on different crops, there is little knowledge of the impacts of biostimulants on commercially grown crops like citrus and strawberry and vegetables like tomato and capsicum.
