United States Biostimulants Market Trends

Protein Hydrolysates is the largest Form

• The biostimulants market in the United States consists of many active ingredients, such as humic and fulvic acids, amino acids, protein hydrolysates, seaweed extracts, and other biostimulants like organic plants and animal derivatives.
• Protein hydrolysates held the highest share in the US biostimulants market, with a share of 37.3% in 2022. The market was valued at USD 70.1 million in 2022, with a consumption volume of 5.9 thousand metric tons. The use of protein hydrolysates can improve yield and quality traits in agricultural and horticultural crops, thus leading to their high share.
• Humic acids followed protein hydrolysates, accounting for a market share of 27.6% in 2022. Humic acids help improve the root system of crops such as soybean, wheat, rice, and maize; vegetable crops such as potato, tomato, cucumber, and pepper; and fruit crops such as citrus (Citrus limon) and grape (Vitis vinifera).
• The field crops held the maximum area under organic cultivation and accounted for a significant share of biostimulant consumption, i.e., 71.4% in 2022. These crops were followed by horticultural and cash crops, with shares of 27.5% and 1.1% in the same year, respectively.
• Despite the potentially positive effects on different crops reported in the scientific literature, there is little knowledge regarding biostimulant effects on commercially grown crops like citrus and strawberry and vegetables like tomato and capsicum, particularly in many states of the country, like Florida and California.
• The growing demand for organic products, the advancement of the agricultural industry, the increasing use of bio-based resources in farming, and supportive government policies drive the US market for biostimulants.
