Agriculture Microbial Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis By Type (Bacteria, Fungi, Virus, and Others), Formulation (Dry and Liquid), Function (Crop Protection and Soil Amendments), Mode of Application (Foliar Spray, Soil Treatment, Seed Treatment, and Post-Harvest), and Crop Type (Cereals and Grains, Oilseeds and Pulses, Fruits and Vegetables, and Others) and Geography

The agriculture microbial market is projected to reach US$ 18,003.75 million by 2028 from US$ 6,901.93 million in 2021. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.8% from 2022 to 2028.

Agricultural microbial refers to the microorganisms used in agriculture to enhance crop productivity and yield quality. Bacteria, fungi, and viruses are a few microbes. Bacteria is one of the most commonly used microbial in agriculture products. They can boost the growth of the plant by improving access to supplements. Many microbes help decompose organic matter and recycle agricultural waste material. Also, they offer phosphorus, nitrogen, and other nutrients and provide benefits, including heat and drought tolerance and resistance to insects and plant diseases.

Based on crop type, the agriculture microbial market is segmented into cereals and grains, oilseeds and pulses, fruits and vegetables, and others. The fruit and vegetables segment accounted for the largest market share in 2020 and is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The market growth for the segment is attributed to the high remuneration factors associated with the crop and increased demand to provide essential nutrients effectively. The demand for organic fruits and vegetables has increased owing to rising consumer awareness about the harmful effects of synthetic chemicals. The demand for organic fruits and vegetables has increased owing to rising consumer awareness about the harmful effects of synthetic chemicals. Therefore, the increased demand for organic fruits and vegetables propels the need for agriculture microbials.

Based on region, the agriculture microbial market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), the Middle East & Africa (MEA), and South & Central America (SAM). In 2020, North America held the largest share of the market, and Asia Pacific is estimated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
