The rising awareness of risks associated with chemical fertilizers such as soil degradation, water pollution, and negative impacts on human health, is driving the growth of the market. As per a report, by 2050, nearly 90% of Earth's soils may have deteriorated from their current state of 33% degradation. Potassium humate offers a sustainable alternative as it is derived from natural sources, promotes soil health, enhances nutrient uptake by plants, and reduces the need for chemical fertilizers, thus appealing to environmentally conscious consumers and agricultural practices.

Due to the growing global use of fertilizers, where it is anticipated that there will be a significant demand for fertilizers over the evaluation period. This potassium humate fertilizer, which is composed of humic and fulvic acid as well as raw humates (plant matter), is an incredibly effective solution for sustainable agriculture. It also helps to increase nitrogen efficiency, which makes it a possible urea supplement. Thus, the addition of these basic materials to humate fertilizer improves the soil's capacity to retain nutrients, thereby bolstering nutrient absorption.

Growth Drivers

  • Growing Development of the Organic Food Industry – Growing organic food demand necessitates a move toward more ecologically friendly and sustainable farming methods. To maximize biodiversity, improve soil fertility, and reduce environmental impact, organic farming places a strong emphasis on the use of natural inputs and practices. As per a report, worldwide, organic agriculture is implemented in more than 186 nations. Also, sales of organic food increased 12.8% from 2019 to USD 47.86 billion in 2020. The market for organic produce is growing as customers become more aware of the effects that their food choices have on their health and the environment.
  • Increasing Population Globally - The market is expanding as a result of the expanding population globally. Growing per hectare land production capacity is required as a result of the world's declining agricultural land area and rising food product demand. As a result, pesticides and fertilizers are applied to the land that is being farmed. Soil conditioners are used to replenish the fertility that has been lost as a result of chemical use. This is anticipated to support soil conditioner sales, notably potassium humate, throughout the duration of the forecast. Furthermore, these factors are propelling the growth of the potassium humate market.
  • Growing Technological Advancements in Bio-stimulant Production – Technological developments enable the creation of more potent biostimulant compounds, such as potassium humate.  Growers and farmers benefit from increased efficacy in the products that are produced as a result. Through the exact distribution and administration of bio-stimulants made possible by advanced technologies, farmers can more successfully target certain crops, soil types, and growth stages.
  • Growing Use as a Pollution Detoxifying Agent - Potassium humate may absorb and bind to a variety of contaminants, such as heavy metals, herbicides, and organic pollutants, due to its high functional surface area and the presence of functional groups like carboxyl and phenolic groups. Additionally, potassium humate functions as a chelating agent by joining metal ions in the soil or water to form stable complexes. Because these complexes are more stable and less toxic, there is a lower chance that plants and microbes may be harmed by metals. Therefore, these factors are escalating the market growth.

Challenges

  • Inconsistent Quality of End-Products – Inconsistent quality may result in variations in the concentration of active ingredients and beneficial compounds in potassium humate products. This can lead to unpredictable performance and efficacy, making it difficult for farmers to achieve consistent results in terms of plant growth, yield, and quality. Therefore, this factor may impede the growth of the potassium humate market.
  • High Costs Compared to Other Fertilizers may Hinder Market Growth
  • Side Effects of the Chemical may Hinder the Market Growth
