Drivers and Restraints

Risks Associated with Synthetic Chemicals Adoption in Agriculture to Bolster Market Development

However, concerns regarding their risks to human health have increased the adoption of organic counterparts. Biostimulants are a highly effective and organic alternative to chemical farming that improve crop quality and are completely safe. Furthermore, the rising demand for organic foods from the population fuels the adoption of chemical-free products. Moreover, increasing government support for the adoption of organic farming may boost product adoption. Additionally, the rising awareness among farmers regarding agrochemicals is expected to drive the India biostimulants market growth.

However, sub-optimal marketing and commercialization of the product may hinder the market’s progress.

Competitive Landscape

Companies Launch Novel Products to Bolster Brand Image

The prominent companies operating in the market announce novel products to boost their convenience and enhance their brand image. For example, Tradecorp announced its biostimulant Biimore, known as Quikon, in India in October 2021. It is used to develop pre-flowering in broadacre legume crops, tree crops, and horticultural crops. This development may enable the company to enhance its brand image. Furthermore, companies adopt research and development, mergers, acquisitions, expansions, and attractive pricing to boost their market position.
