South America Plant Growth Regulators Market Analysis

The South America Plant Growth Regulators Market size is estimated at USD 472.5 million in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 630.14 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.90% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

  • The adoption of plant growth regulators is increasing in South America due to the growing demand for sustainable agricultural practices in crop production. The rising consumption of fruits further supports market expansion. Fresh fruit consumption in South America increased from 71.4 million metric tons in 2021 to 77.8 million metric tons in 2023. This increased consumption necessitates higher production and a consistent supply of produce. Plant growth regulators facilitate early crop development, ensuring regular availability of produce in local markets.
  • The South American region is experiencing growth in organic farming practices, with Brazil emerging as a major market for organic products. According to the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture FiBL, Brazil's organic farmland expanded from 996.4 thousand hectares in 2022 to 1,023.1 thousand hectares in 2023, marking a 2.7% increase. This expansion has increased demand for organic-compatible plant growth regulators.
  • Companies are responding to market demand by introducing new products. In 2023, Syngenta Biologicals launched ERGER in Brazil, a biostimulant for breaking dormancy in temperate fruit trees, including apples, pears, grapes, peaches, and plums. However, limited farmer awareness about plant growth regulator usage and application methods constrains market growth. Despite this challenge, the increasing need for plant growth regulators to enhance production, combined with product innovations, continues to drive market growth during the forecast period.
