Latin America Biostimulants Market by End-User (Row Crops, Fruits & Vegetables, Turfs & Ornamentals), by Mode of Application (Foliar, Seed, Soil), by Active Ingredients (Acid-based, Extracts-based), by Geography - Analysis and Forecast to 2019

The Latin American biostimulants market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 17.5% during the forecast period of 2014 to 2019. Plant biostimulants contain substance(s) and/or micro-organisms whose function when applied to plants or the rhizosphere is to stimulate natural processes to enhance/benefit nutrient uptake, nutrient efficiency, tolerance to abiotic stress, and crop quality. Biostimulants have no direct action against pests, and therefore do not fall within the regulatory framework of pesticides.

Biostimulants have evolved into major agricultural inputs for sustainable crop production. These products were mostly used for the cultivation of horticultural products; but their usage has become essential for all key row crops such as rice, wheat, corn, sugarcane, and soybean.  Acid based and extracts based biostimulants are the key types available in the market, with the acid based biostimulants being the most commonly used types in the Latin American region.

The Latin American biostimulants market is dominated by Brazil, followed by Argentina. In Brazil, the adoption of sustainable farming practices and organic ingredients, to improve the quality of the produce, has driven the market in this country and resulted in a high market value. The market in Brazil constituted 42.0% of the Latin American market in 2014.

The Latin American biostimulants market is a competitive market, with many firms such as Taminco Corp. (Belgium), Isagro S.p.A (Italy), Valagro S.p.A (Italy), Koppert B.V. (Netherlands), and Italpollina S.p.A (Italy) adopting different strategies to expand their market share in the Latin American region. To gain a large market share, these companies are adopting innovative product developments, partnerships, mergers & acquisitions, and expansion of existing facilities.
