Middle East & Africa Plant Growth Regulators Market Analysis

The Middle East & Africa Plant Growth Regulators Market size is estimated at USD 338.51 million in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 465.97 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.60% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

The expansion of organic farming in the Middle East and Africa drives the Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) industry growth. According to the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL), organic agricultural land in Africa reached 2.74 million hectares in 2023, a 4.9% increase from the previous year. The cost-effectiveness of PGRs compared to other agrochemicals presents a market opportunity.

Africa shows increased production of fruits and vegetables, with growing PGR application on fruit crops. The region extensively uses PGRs for vegetables, including potatoes, tomatoes, and onions. In Middle Eastern countries, PGRs enhance fruit production for apples, pears, and peaches. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Egypt's fruit production increased from 16.0 million metric tons in 2022 to 16.2 million metric tons in 2023. Turkey's vegetable production grew from 31.5 million metric tons in 2022 to 31.8 million metric tons in 2023, as reported by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.

Population growth in the Middle East, reaching 500.3 million with a 1.69% increase from 2023, drives market expansion. This growth requires maximizing yield from limited arable land amid water scarcity. PGRs address these challenges by enhancing plant resilience. Gibberellins promote flowering in unfavorable climates, while cytokinins improve water retention in drought-prone areas. Government initiatives supporting sustainable agriculture and investments in agricultural research create favorable market conditions. In January 2023, Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Investment signed a USD 1 billion agreement to manufacture specialized agriculture chemicals, including PGRs within the KSA. The plant growth regulator market is anticipated to expand in the Middle East and Africa region through increasing fruit and vegetable demand, population growth, and government support for improved agricultural efficiency.
