According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Agricultural Microbial Market Report by Type (Bacteria, Fungi, Virus, and Others), Formulation (Dry, Liquid), Application Method (Soil Amendment, Crop Protection), Function (Foliar Spray, Soil Treatment, Seed Treatment, and Others), Crop Type (Cereals, Oilseeds and Pulses, Fruits and Vegetables, and Others), and Region 2025-2033," the global agricultural microbial market reached a value of USD 10.6 Billion in 2024. Agricultural microbial refers to microorganisms that play an essential role in numerous farming practices to improve crop productivity and yield quality. They include protozoa, viruses, fungi, archaea, yeast, molds, algae, and bacteria. Agricultural microbial are widely used for soil improvement, crop protection, increasing soil fertility, and enhancing the uptake of nutrients such as phosphorous and nitrogen. They also assists in composting to produce manure by decomposing organic matter and recycling old plant materials. Agricultural microbial provides several benefits, including drought and heat tolerance and resistance to insects, plant diseases, salinity, and ultraviolet (UV) radiations. They also offers certain antibiotics and growth substances that assist in the development of plants.
Global Agricultural Microbial Market Trends:
The rising adoption of sustainable agricultural practices is one of the key factors driving the market growth. Agricultural microbial is widely used as an economical solution to improve plant health and enhance crop production while controlling disease outbreaks, enhancing soil conditions, refining the nutrient transportation process, reducing soil erosion, and preserving freshwater. In addition, rising awareness regarding the benefits of employing agricultural microbial in farming, such as nitrogen fixation, disease control, and soil enrichment, is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Furthermore, widespread product adoption in formulating biofertilizers, biopesticides, and biostimulants to improve crop yield, prevent root-fungus disease, and increase germination, seedling vigor, and flowering is providing an impetus to the market growth. Additionally, the introduction of advanced production techniques for plant growth-promoting (PGP) microbes, such as liquid, talc, sawdust, and peat-based formulations that prevent the loss of bioactivity and improve the physical, chemical, and nutritional properties of the formulated biomass, is creating a positive outlook for the market. Moreover, the implementation of various government initiatives promoting the use of microbes as biofertilizers and an effective substitute for synthetic agrochemicals is providing a considerable boost to the market growth. Other factors, including rising consumer concerns regarding environmental pollution and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by conventional agricultural practices and extensive research and development (R&D) activities, are anticipated to drive the market growth. On account of the aforementioned factors, the market value is expected to reach USD 25.6 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 9.79% during 2025-2033.
