What Is Covered Under Plant Growth Regulators Market?

Plant growth regulators refer to chemical substances that completely regulate all aspects of a plant's growth and development, such as increasing branching, reducing shoot growth, increasing return bloom, getting rid of extra fruit, or changing the maturity of the fruit. The main types of plant growth regulators are cytokinins, auxins, gibberelins, ethylene, and other types. Cytokinins refer to plant-specific chemical messengers (hormones) that are crucial for regulating the plant cell cycle and several developmental procedures. The various formulations included water-dispersible and water-soluble granules, wettable powders and solutions. These are used for several applications such as fruits and vegetables, cereals and grains, oil seeds and pulses, and turf and ornaments.

What Is The Plant Growth Regulators Market Growth Forecast?

The plant growth regulators market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.52 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing food demand due to population growth, rising focus on sustainable agriculture inputs, expansion of precision farming practices, growing adoption of bio-based growth regulators, increasing regulatory support for crop productivity solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of crop yield enhancement solutions, rising demand for precision crop regulation chemicals, growing use of pgrs in high-value crops, expansion of controlled maturity and ripening applications, enhanced focus on sustainable crop management.

What Is The Driver Of The Plant Growth Regulators Market?

Increasing demand for organic farming is expected to propel the growth of the plant growth regulators market going forward. Organic farming refers to producing crops, animals, and other goods without using synthetic chemical pesticides, antibiotics, transgenic species, growth-stimulating hormones, or other chemicals. Plant growth regulators are primarily used in organic farming to improve crop quality and yield, boost root growth, and raise the size and productivity of specific crops, including grapes and strawberries. These factors boost the plant growth regulators market. For instance, in February 2024, according to the IFOAM (International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements), a Germany-based an international organization, the global area under organic farming expanded by 2.5 million hectares in 2023, bringing the total to nearly 99 million hectares. Meanwhile, global sales of organic food rose to approximately 136 billion euros that same year. Therefore, increasing demand for organic farming is driving the growth of the plant growth regulators industry.
