United Kingdom Agricultural Microbials Market By Type (Bacteria, Fungi, Virus, Others), By Formulation (Liquid v/s Dry), By Function (Soil Amendment v/s Crop Protection), By Application Method (Foliar Spray, Soil Treatment, Seed Treatment, Others), By Crop Type (Cereals, Oilseeds & Pulses, Fruits & Vegetables, Others), By Region, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2027
The United Kingdom agricultural microbials market is projected to grow at a formidable rate during the forecast period. The market growth can be attributed to the rising demand for the higher yielding crops.
Microbials are actively used to prevent the degradation of plant bodies caused by pests. Growing food security demands, combined with the adoption of new agricultural technology to boost productivity, will drive the expansion of the agricultural microbials market in the United Kingdom during the next five years. Furthermore, the rapidly increasing use of integrated pest management (IPM) practices and lower development costs for microbials compared to traditional chemical pesticides will aid in the expansion of the United Kingdom agricultural microbials market during the next five years.
Agricultural microbials are microorganisms that are actively used to improve agricultural products. Bacteria, viruses, fungus, and other agricultural microbes are currently used in agricultural techniques. These bacteria boost plant and crop quality by increasing soil quality. They are also useful in crop protection, which increases agricultural yields.
The country's growing population and ongoing demand for food security will fuel the expansion of the agricultural microbials market in the United Kingdom over the next five years. The employment of microbes to improve plant development and crop quality is a primary element affecting the need for bacteria to aggregate agricultural produce, hence assisting market growth. In 2021, the total agricultural land area in the United Kingdom was 18.63 million hectares. Despite the fact that crop land in the country was just 4.48 million hectares in 2021. As a result, demand for larger crop yields grows even more.
Furthermore, increased demand from health-conscious consumers seeking premium products and healthier options will influence the growth of the agricultural microbials market in the United Kingdom during the next five years. The government and for-profit groups are boosting their efforts to increase farmers' and cultivators' awareness of agricultural microbials. Furthermore, traditional knowledge of using agricultural microbials to improve soil quality and plant and crop growth is anticipated to aid the growth of the agricultural microbials market in the United Kingdom during the next five years.
The United Kingdom agricultural microbials market is segmented on the basis of type, formulation, function, application method, crop type, competitional landscape, and regional distribution. Based on type, the market is further segmented into bacteria, fungi, virus, and others. The bacteria segment is expected to hold the largest share in the United Kingdom agricultural microbials market during the forecast period, owing to the wider application of bacterial aided materials into biopesticides, biofertilizer, and bio-stimulants.
Major players operating in the United Kingdom agricultural microbials market are Syngenta UK Limited, BASF UK Limited, Certis UK, Bayer UK Limited, Sumitomo Chemical (U.K.) Plc., Novozymes UK Ltd., Andermatt Biocontrol UK Ltd., among others.
