What is driving the growth of the Agricultural Enzymes Market?
The rising demand for organic food across the world has increased the demand for agricultural enzymes, along with the growing awareness about the harmful effects of pesticides.
- Organic agricultural enzymes enable the production of certified, high-quality, controlled, and safe food.
- Therefore, they provide high economic and eco-friendly benefits and maintain a healthy ecosystem.
- Furthermore, one of the critical aspects of the growth of the agricultural enzyme market is the increasing health concerns due to a growing number of biochemical poisoning cases worldwide.
- The expanding usage of pesticides leaves food products with their residues, causing severe health problems among people.
- Consumers are becoming more aware of the toxic effects caused by the presence of chemical pesticides in food products.
- The toxicity of chemical pesticides in food commodities can cause hormone disruptions, cancer, and congenital disabilities.
- The rising consumers' awareness about the growing use of pesticides and fertilizers in farm-grown vegetables has led to the expanded adoption of organic food products.
- Enzymes have features that allow them to work in low concentrations, low temperatures, mild pH, and minimal water usage.
- In 2021, owing to the increased use of natural biological products, such as agricultural enzymes, the country's organic food sales grew by about 2%, reaching USD 57.5 billion.
Also, organic vegetables and fruit sales increased by about 4.5% in 2021, reaching more than USD 21 billion, making up a 15% share of the entire segment. Such factors are expected to drive the growth of the agricultural enzymes market over the forecast period.
North America is the largest consumer of Agricultural Enzymes:
Agricultural enzymes are widely consumed in North America, with the United States being a major market. As modern agriculture technology advances, the cost of chemical inputs has risen, along with growing awareness regarding balanced plant nutrition. These are considered significant drivers of agricultural enzyme demand in this region. The use of enzymes is seen as an advantageous alternative to traditional fertilizer due to its non-toxic effect and positive environmental impact.
In August 2022, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) launched its new USD 300 million Organic Transition Initiative.
The program is claimed to take concrete steps to build the next generation of organic producers and strengthen organic supply chains. Such programs are expected to expand the use of bio-based inputs, subsequently expanding the market in the country.
Canada is inclining toward bio-based agriculture to strengthen crop productivity and quality at an early growth stage. Despite the obstacles, organic acreage increased by 19% to more than 3.5 million acres or almost 1.5 million hectares.
