The Asia Pacific biostimulants market size is projected to expand at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the rising need for support crop owing to changing climatic conditions & abiotic stress, increasing focus on enhancing productivity and growing demand for the high value crops.

Biostimulants are the natural products made from microorganism applied to crops that decreases the need for fertilizers and raises plant growth. These are very efficient and helps in the good performance of the plant important processes also it allows good quality as well as high yields products. It can be available in the synthetic or natural substances and also applied on soil, seeds, and plants.

Biostimulants decreases the need for fertilizers. It helps to boost the plant development and allows growth throughout the lifecycle of crop from generation of seed to the maturity of plants. These fertilizers help to facilitate the nutrients assimilation, use, and translocation as well as it in increases the fertility of the soil by stimulation of the development of soil microorganism that are interdependent.
