- The South American biostimulants market is experiencing significant growth, driven by the region's focus on low-carbon agriculture and the need to feed a growing global population. The usage of both microbial and non-microbial biostimulants in agriculture can lead to substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, making it a top priority for South American nations.
- Brazil is the largest market for biostimulants in the region, accounting for 64% of the market share. However, the expansion of agriculture for commodity production has resulted in severe erosion of arable land. To address this issue, Brazil aims to meet the United Nations' soil restoration goal well before 2030 by inoculating degraded lands with beneficial soil microbes, including more effective biostimulants.
- Argentina is a leading country in terms of organic food production in South America, with major organic exports, including cereals, oilseeds, fruits, and sugarcane. The rise in domestic and international demand for organic products is driving the growth of the biostimulants market in the country, which is expected to register a CAGR of 12.52% during the forecast period.
- The growing awareness among farmers in the region about the benefits of organic agriculture is another factor driving the market growth of organic inputs such as biostimulants. Farmers are considering organic agriculture as an alternative to maintain and protect their local resources and avoid damage to the environment. The biostimulants market in South America is projected to register a CAGR of 10.8% during the forecast period (2023-2029), indicating significant potential for the region's agriculture industry.
