農業微量營養素市場:現況分析與預測(2024-2032)Agricultural Micronutrients Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2024-2032) |
由於產品組合的擴大,農業微量營養素市場預計將穩定成長7.4%左右。例如,2022年 9月,Nouryon 簽訂了收購 ADOB Fertilizers 的最終協議,ADOB Fertilizers 是一家螯合微量營養素、葉面肥和其他特殊肥料的供應商。此次收購將使Nouryon能夠擴大其產品組合,並擴大其為作物型營養市場客戶提供的產品。此外,人們對植物營養的認識不斷提高,以及對農作物高產量開發的興趣日益濃厚,預計將推動農業微量營養素市場的發展。
依作物類型,市場分為穀物、水果和蔬菜等。由於水果和蔬菜對食物鏈以及個人和社區的整體健康的巨大貢獻,到2023年,它將在市場中佔據主要佔有率。微量營養素的存在在許多方面對水果和蔬菜產生顯著的負面影響,包括生長、品質和產量。施用鋅、硼和錳等微量營養素對於增強這些元素以及改善作物的整體健康非常重要。隨著對新鮮、營養豐富的蔬菜和水果的需求增加,種植者開始將微量營養素作為提高作物產量的可行解決方案。為了從現有資源中獲得最佳產量,強化趨勢的不斷成長和農業實踐的進步進一步增強了這一領域的重要性。因此,水果和蔬菜領域是農業微量營養素市場的核心領域之一,因為它對於實現農業生產力的優質和高產量非常重要。
依形式,市場分為螯合產品和非螯合產品。由於植物和土壤吸收更好的養分可用性,預計螯合部分在預測期內將顯著成長。螯合增加了微量營養素的穩定性,並減少了它們交聯和形成不溶性產物的傾向,這些產物可能使傳統形式的微量營養素失效。隨著對解決微量營養素缺乏和提高作物產量的更好方法的需求不斷增加,螯合微量營養素能夠以最方便的方式為作物提供土壤中缺乏的養分,因此被人們所接受。精準農業和向生態無害農業的轉變等趨勢也推動了該市場的成長,增加了對此類複雜配方的需求。隨著人們意識到螯合微量營養素在改善作物健康和產量方面的好處,它們日益被納入現代農業方法中。因此,預計螯合部分在預測期內將在這種形式中表現出顯著的成長率。
依應用,市場分為葉面噴灑、施肥灌溉等。由於灌溉精度的提高,預計施肥灌溉領域在預測期內將顯著成長。施肥灌溉是一種將養分和水同時施用的技術,是將微量營養素直接施用於植物根部以避免養分流失的有效方法。這種方法還提高了養分利用效率並減少損失,同時提高作物生產力和作物品質。隨著水資源日益稀缺,農民日益採用灌溉來最佳化資源利用和保護。人們對微量營養素灌溉應用和現代灌溉技術價值的了解不斷增加,以及生產者對環保農業實踐的興趣日益濃厚,預計將推動農業微量營養素市場中這一領域的成長。因此,施肥灌溉應用領域預計在預測期內將呈現顯著成長。
為了更了解農業微量營養素的市場導入,市場根據北美 (美國、加拿大、北美其他地區) 、歐洲 (德國、英國、法國、西班牙、義大利、歐洲其他地區) 、亞太地區 (中國、日本、印度、澳洲、亞太其他地區) 和世界其他國家的全球布局進行分析。由於先進的耕作方法、技術援助和不斷提高的土壤意識,北美在2023年佔據了大部分市場佔有率。該地區的許多農民和農業企業逐步採用利用微量營養素的精準農業來實現更高的產量。利用永續耕作系統和糾正連續農業作業造成的養分消耗的努力進一步推動了對微量營養素的需求。此外,資料和複雜土壤測試方法的採用有助於微量營養素的精確施用。例如,2023年 2月,美國 Andersons 宣布推出 Micromark DG,這是一個採用分散穀物(DG)技術的新系列顆粒狀微量營養素。這項新技術可以生產均勻的球形顆粒,更容易混合和鋪展,功效更高。因此,到2023年,北美將佔據很大的市場佔有率。
市場上的主要參與者包括AgroLiquid、Aries Agro Limited、BASF SE、BMS Micro-Nutrients NV、Coromandel International Limited、Haifa Negev technologies LTD、Helena Agri-Enterprises, LLC、Koch, Inc.、Nouryon Chemicals Holding B.V.、Nufarm Limited。
Plant micronutrients are a set of essential nutrients that are crucial in very small amounts in the development of crops. These nutrients include iron, zinc manganese, copper, boron, and molybdenum and all of these are significant in physiological activities like photosynthesis as well as activation of enzymes and nitrogen fixation. These micronutrients are essential in plant growth and development; their absence could result in low yields, poor-quality produce, and diseases. With the increase in the world population, the focus shifts to micronutrients in agriculture, and farmers are compelled to perform soil testing and targeted fertilization to provide necessary nutrients in the soil. Such concentration on micronutrients is quite significant in the development of sound and sustainable agricultural practices and increases overall crop yields.
The Agricultural Micronutrients Market is expected to grow at a steady rate of around 7.4% owing to the expanding product portfolio. For instance, in September 2022, Nouryon entered into a definitive agreement to acquire ADOB Fertilizers, a supplier of chelated micronutrients, foliar, and other specialty fertilizers. The acquisition will enable Nouryon to expand its product portfolio and broaden its offerings for customers in the crop-type nutrition market. Moreover, increasing awareness of plant nutrition and a growing focus on the development of high crop-type yields are anticipated to boost the agricultural micronutrient market.
Based on the crop type, the market is segmented into cereals, fruits & vegetables, and others. The fruits & vegetables segment held a significant share of the market in the year 2023 as it contributes huge value to the food chains and the overall health of individuals and communities. The presence of micronutrients has a significant adverse impact on fruits and vegetables in so many ways including growth, quality, and yield. It is essential to apply micronutrients such as zinc, boron, and manganese to enhance the factors apart from boosting the general health of the crop types. As the demand for fresh and nutrient-rich vegetables and fruits has increased, growers are inclined to micronutrients for a viable solution to improve the crop type yields. The importance of the segment is further boosted by the rising trend of fortification and advancement in the practice of agriculture to get the best yields from the available resources. Therefore, this fruits & vegetable segment is still one of the core segments in the agricultural micronutrient market because of its importance in achieving quality and high yields in agricultural productivity.
Based on the form, the market is bifurcated into chelated and non-chelated. The chelated segment is expected to experience significant growth in the forecast period owing to better nutrient availability for plant and soil uptake. Chelation enhances the stability of micronutrients to reduce the propensity of cross-binding and the formation of insoluble products that may be rendered ineffective in traditional forms of micronutrients. With an increasing demand for better ways of fighting micronutrient deficiencies and enhancing the production of crops, chelated micronutrients are being embraced for their capacity to deliver those nutrients that are scarce in the soil to the crops in the most convenient way. Also, the trends such as precision agriculture and the shift towards ecologically sound agriculture are fueling growth in this market as well as the need for such complex formulations. Chelated micronutrients are increasingly being incorporated into the modern practices of agriculture as people get to know of their advantages for enhancing the health and yield of crops. Thus, the chelated segment is expected to grow at a significant rate in the forecast period among the form.
Based on the application, the market is segmented into foliar, fertigation, and others. The fertigation segment is expected to experience significant growth in the forecast period owing to increased precision in irrigation. Fertigation is a technique of applying nutrients and water at one go and it is an effective method to apply micronutrients directly at the root of the plant to avoid loss of nutrients. Also, this method increases nutrient use efficiency and reduces losses while at the same time increasing crop productivity and the quality of the crop produced. With the increase of scarce water resources, fertigation is increasingly being adopted by farmers to optimize resource use and conservation. Increased knowledge of the value of micronutrient application through fertigation and the latest irrigation technology, together with the increasing focus by growers on environmentally friendly farming practices, is seen to enhance the growth of this segment in the agricultural micronutrient marketplace. Thus, the fertigation segment is expected to grow at a significant rate in the forecast period among the applications.
For a better understanding of the market adoption of agricultural micronutrients, the market is analyzed based on its worldwide presence in countries such as North America (U.S., Canada, and the Rest of North America), Europe (Germany, U.K., France, Spain, Italy, Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, Rest of Asia-Pacific), Rest of World. North America held the majority share of the market in the year 2023 owing to progressive farming practices, technological support, and growth in awareness about the soil. Many farmers in the region and their counterparts in the agribusiness industries have gradually embraced precision agriculture practices using micronutrients for higher and better yields. The need for micronutrients is further brought about by the effort to use sustainable systems of cultivation and correction of nutrient depletions that arise from constant farming. Further, the adoption of data and sophisticated soil testing methods facilitate the enhanced application of micronutrients with high accuracy. For instance, in February 2023, U.S.-based Andersons Inc. announced the launch of MicroMark DG, a new line of granular micronutrients featuring dispersing granule (DG) technology. The new technology allows for homogeneous spherical granules for easier blending, spreading, and increased efficacy. Thus, amongst areas, North America held a significant share of the market in the year 2023.
