North America Biostimulants Market by Modes of Application (Foliar, Seed, Soil) by Active Ingredient (Extracts, Acids, Others) by End-User (Row Crops, Fruits & Vegetables, Turfs & Ornamentals) by Geography -Analysis & Forecast To 2019

The North American biostimulants market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 14.1% 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.

The North American biostimulants market has evolved into a major agricultural input for sustainable crop production. Humic acids, fulvic acids, amino acids, and so on are the different types of commonly used biostimulants. Cost to produce biostimulants depends on the technology used and amount of R&D expenditure in it.

The North American biostimulants market is dominated by the U.S., followed by Canada.  The requirement for crops of high yield and quality, and evolving agricultural practices and precision farming are driving the consumption of biostimulants in the U.S. market. The increase in the cost of synthetic fungicides and pesticides, along with the rising awareness regarding balanced nutrition of plants, is expected to have positive impacts on the U.S. biostimulants market. The U.S. is slowly adopting biostimulants as seed treatments to strengthen the crop’s vigor at an early stage of development.

The North 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 Italopolina S.p.A (Italy), among others, expanding their market shares in the North American region. To gain a significant market share, these companies are adopting numerous market strategies including innovative product developments, partnerships, mergers & acquisitions, and expansion of existing facilities. Apart from these companies, there are a large numbers of small firms present in the North American biostimulants market.
