The global demand for organic products is growing at 16% -18% per annum. A total of 78 million hectares were organically managed at the end of 2018, representing a growth of 20 percent or 11 million hectares over 2017, the largest growth ever recorded. The organic products worth $95 billion were sold globally in 2017. The USA, Germany, Brazil and France enjoy the largest share of market in organic produce. Among bio-inputs, globally the bio-stimulants market has the largest share and also fastest growing. Asia has got maximum potential, as it accounts for 60% plus of the global agriculture output. In fact, China and India alone account for 27.2% of the global agriculture by value.

Indian agriculture is the 2nd largest in the world @ 407 billion USD, growing a wide variety of field and horticulture crops with 280 million MT of food grains and 330 million MT of F&V production. With 835,000 certified organic producers, India is home to more than 30 per cent of total number of organic producers (2.7 million) in the world. The country is now focused on quality improvement, safe food production, value chain development and exports; and as such the market for bio-ag products will see massive boost, especially for exports linked agriculture. Indian Government is also giving major boost to organic agriculture and natural farming systems towards reducing the load of chemicals on crops and tapping organic food market. Therefore, the Bio-inputs, Bio-control and bio-stimulants market is set to receive major boost and the market may rapidly grow @18-20% in next a decade or two. Similar kind of changes are seen in other major Asian countries; China, Vietnam, Japan, Thailand, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia and Central Asia.While global bio-stimulants market, led by Europe and Americas has been rapidly growing @ 18% with the entry of top corporates such as BASF, Bayer, Syngenta, UPL, AlgaEnergy, Agrinos etc. and fertilizer majors such as YARA and OCP and aggressive play by the traditional bio-input companies such as Acadian, Valagro, Novozymes, Koppert, NTS, Agricola, Verdesian etc.. The market is expected to reach $ 10 billion by 2025 from its current level of approximately $ 4 billion.
