Increasing Use of Humic Acid for Agricultural Yield Improvement Fuels North America humic acid market
Humic acid is a natural compound derived from organic matter such as decomposed plant material. It is known for its beneficial effects on soil fertility and plant growth. Upon application to the soil, humic acid enhances its physical, chemical, and biological properties. It improves soil structure, increases water-holding capacity, enhances nutrient retention, and promotes the growth of beneficial microorganisms, which leads to improvements in soil conditions through better nutrient availability and uptake, resulting in improved crop yields. As a result, the demand for humic acid-based fertilizers, soil amendments, and biostimulants, among others, has been increasing. In addition, humic acid has been found to stimulate root and shoot growth, leading to increased biomass production. It promotes the development of lateral roots, improves nutrient uptake efficiency, and enhances plant metabolism, in turn, resulting in plant growth with the potential to produce high yields and better-quality food products. These stats have been alarming the agricultural sector about the subsequently increasing food demand. As a result, agriculturists across the world are focusing on modifying farming practices to obtain high yields from smaller cultivation areas. Thus, the need for fertilizers in farming, including humic acid-based ones, increases with a major focus on crop protection and yield enhancement in the agricultural sector.North America Humic Acid Market Overview

Executive Summary
At 11.1% CAGR, the North America Humic Acid Market is Speculated to be Worth US$ 587.95 million by 2030.According to this research, the North America humic acid market was valued at US$ 253.19 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 587.95 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 11.1% from 2022 to 2030. Increasing use of humic acid for agricultural yield improvement and expansion of humic acid applications are the critical factors attributed to the North America humic acid market expansion.
According to the 2023 Organic Industry Survey conducted by the Organic Trade Association, organic food sales in the US in 2022 increased to US$ 67.6 billion in 2023 from US$ 63 billion in 2022.
Organic farming practices emphasize soil health and fertility. As a natural soil amendment, humic acid enhances soil structure, improves nutrient availability, and promotes microbial activity. It helps organic farmers maintain and improve soil fertility. Organic food production requires compliance with specific standards and regulations. Organic certifying bodies often require the use of approved inputs and practices, including organic soil amendments. Humic acid, derived from organic sources, fulfills the requirements for organic certification. In addition, humic acid has been shown to improve plant growth by facilitating root development and improving stress tolerance. Organic food producers prioritize plant health and natural disease resistance by minimizing synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. The use of humic acid in organic farming contributes to the production of food that is perceived as healthier and more environmentally friendly. Thus, the growing demand for organic food products would lead to new trends in the humic acid market in the coming years, as it is being projected as an essential component of organic farming practices.
