Agriculture Inoculant Market Size:

The Agriculture Inoculant Market is anticipated to rise from USD 1.118 billion in 2025 to USD 1.776 billion by 2030, fueled by a 9.70% CAGR.

 Inoculants refer to weak disease agents that are introduced into the body of the host, to build immunity against that disease-causing agent. The agricultural inoculants which contain Rhizobium bacteria are known as nitrogen inoculants. Since these bacteria are not naturally mobile in the soil, it is crucial to add the required amount of Rhizobium to ensure successful nodulation. These also convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that can be consumed by plants.  Further, there is a different strain of Rhizobium for different plants, which cannot be used interchangeably. With the growing world population, which is soon to reach 9 billion by end of 2050, food availability will become a major concern. Further, with decreasing arable land and urbanization, it has become crucial to increase yields along with conserving the plant. Agriculture Inoculant methods provide the required nutrition to the plants. It also stimulates hormonal production in plants leading to plant growth.

Betavoltaic Device Market Growth Drivers:

  • Legumes hold a significant share of the market.

Legumes such as pulses, peas, chick peas, peanuts, lentils, and beans are predicted to have a significant market share of the agriculture inoculant market. This is because an inoculant may not be effective in more than one plant. For instance, the Rhizobium stain’s success rate differs from the different plant types it is paired with. A stain that succeeds in the production of nodules in lentils and peas, may fail when paired with beans. Pulses, in particular, require a high amount of nitrogen to become protein-rich post-production.

Cereals and other crop plants will also have a noteworthy share in the market. Fungal-based inoculants are more effective in other crops with superior yields. Groundwork BioAg Ltd. along with Advanced Yield LLC announced the production of a record-breaking corn yield, in 2020, using the former’s ROOTELLA X Mycorrhizal fungal inoculant. Advanced Yield LLC had been treating their 8,000 acres farms with ROOTELLA X technology.

Betavoltaic Device Market Segmentation Analysis:

  • Seed Inoculation to dominate the market.

By mode, the agriculture inoculant market is segmented into soil inoculation and seed inoculation. Soil inoculation is also known as microbial inoculation or bio-inoculation and holds a significant amount of the market. This mode uses rhizospheric or endophytic microbes to promote plant health using symbiotic relationships. Soil inoculants come either in liquid form or granular form. While seed inoculation is predicted to dominate the market. Seed inoculation, or as commonly known as seed technology, covers the seed surface with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, generally Rhizobium or Bradyrhizobium, before planting them in the soil. Due to early exposure, these bacteria penetrate the seed resulting in the growth of the plant with root nodules that can fix atmospheric nitrogen. Seed inoculants may be liquid or peat-based. Various companies are involved in R&D to improve seed inoculation technology to attain better results. A&L Biologicals are aiming to enter the agriculture inoculation market with its under-development seed inoculation technology that will promote both, plant, and soil health.

  • Asian and North American countries have huge potential.

The Agriculture Inoculant market has been further regionally classified as American market, European, Middle East, and African market, and Asian market. The North American and Asia countries have huge potential and are anticipated to grow at an exponential rate in the agriculture inoculant market. Especially countries such as India, China, Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. have a prominent role to play.

The North American region, given its state-of-art infrastructure and technology advanced agriculture sector, will have an unconstraint growth, while lack of awareness, education, and initial investment may be hurdling the agriculture inoculant market in Asian countries of India and Vietnam.
