Agricultural Enzymes Market Trends

• Growing Demand for Organic Food Drives Market Growth

Agricultural enzymes market CAGR is primarily driven by rising demand for organic food globally, as well as growing awareness about the hazardous effects of pesticides, which has increased demand for agricultural enzymes. Organic agricultural enzymes allow for the production of food that is certified, high-quality, controlled, and safe. As a result, they bring significant economic and environmental benefits while also preserving a healthy ecology.

Furthermore, one of the essential components of the agricultural enzyme market's growth is the growing health concerns caused by an increasing number of biochemical poisoning instances worldwide. The increased use of pesticides leaves residues in food goods, producing serious difficulties for individuals. In addition, consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the hazardous repercussions of the use of chemical pesticides in food. Chemical pesticide poisoning in food items can result in hormone disturbance, cancer, and congenital abnormalities. Growing consumer awareness of the increased use of pesticides and fertilizers in farm-grown vegetables has resulted in increased adoption of organic food items. For instance, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) will launch its new USD 300 million Organic Transition Initiative in August 2022. According to the initiative, specific actions will be taken to develop the next generation of organic growers and enhance organic supply chains. Such activities are expected to increase the usage of bio-based inputs, hence extending the country's market. As a result, the agricultural enzymes market revenue is increasing.

Agricultural Enzymes Market Segment Insights

Agricultural Enzymes Type Insights

The Agricultural Enzymes Market segmentation, based on type includes phosphates, proteases, dehydrogenates, others. The proteases segment is expected to have the greatest CAGR during the projection period. Protease enzymes, in addition to being strong markers of soil fertility, aid in accelerating the hydrolysis of esters and anhydrides of phosphoric acid. They also play an important function in soil systems; the ability of these phosphates to solubilize soil mineral elements is expected to be greater in biologically managed systems due to a higher concentration of organic carbon in the systems. Such reasons are driving the demand for the proteases section of the Agricultural Enzymes Market.

Agricultural Enzymes Crop Type Insights

The Agricultural Enzymes Market segmentation, based on crop type, includes cereals & grains, oilseeds & pulses, fruits & vegetables, others. The cereals & grains categories have the largest market share. Rice is the most extensively consumed staple food globe by a significant percentage of the human population, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. Rice is the second most widely produced grain in the world, after maize. Due to varied lifestyles, calorie requirements, an increase in wealth, and food requirements, urbanization is one of the reasons boosting demand for cereals and grains. Most cereal crops use agricultural enzymes to boost production while also fertilizing the soil and improving plant growth. Because cereals are cultivated in the majority of countries, worldwide demand for cereals and grains is expected to rise.

Agricultural Enzymes Function Insights

The Agricultural Enzymes Market data is segmented by function, which comprises soil fertility and growth promoters. During the forecast period, the soil fertility category is estimated to develop at the fastest rate. The soil provides plants with nutrients, aids in biological processes, and protects groundwater and plants. Because they respond quickly to climatic changes, agricultural chemicals, and industrial pollution, soil enzymes are an essential indicator of fertility.
