The agricultural chelates market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.29 billion in 2023 to $1.4 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The historical period's growth can be attributed to several factors, including concerns about soil quality, the global population's increase, the expansion of commercial agriculture, the adoption of precision farming, and a heightened awareness of crop nutrition.
The agricultural chelates market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.97 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the expansion of organic farming, challenges posed by climate change, a heightened focus on sustainable agriculture, government support for precision agriculture, and increasing investments in agricultural technology (agtech). Key trends expected in the forecast period include technological innovations in chelate formulations, advancements in agricultural technology, a growing adoption of precision agriculture practices, an increased use of micronutrients in crop production, and technological advancements in chelate production.
The anticipated increase in farm production expenditure is poised to drive the growth of the agriculture chelates market in the foreseeable future. Farm production expenditure encompasses the total amount spent by farms on various inputs and expenses related to agricultural production. Agricultural chelates, chemical compounds used in agriculture, play a vital role in improving the availability and uptake of essential minerals by plants. For example, in 2022, U.S. farms expended $195.5 billion on crop farms, as reported by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), a key government agency. This substantial investment in farm production expenditure serves as a significant driver for the agriculture chelates market.
The increasing adoption of greenhouse farming is expected to contribute significantly to the growth of the agricultural chelates market. Greenhouse farming involves the cultivation of crops in protected structures, either fully or partially covered by transparent materials, to create optimal growing conditions while shielding crops from adverse weather conditions and pests. Agricultural chelates are utilized in greenhouse farming to enhance nutrient uptake and utilization efficiency by crops. High-performance chelated micronutrients, such as iron chelates, are commonly employed in agriculture to increase crop yields. For instance, according to Statistics Canada, the National Statistical Office of Canada, British Columbia's farms recorded the second-highest greenhouse area in the country in 2021, reaching 66.0 million square feet, reflecting a 14.0% increase from 2016. This province accounted for 20.0% of Canada's total reported greenhouse area. Therefore, the growing adoption of greenhouse farming is anticipated to be a significant driver for the growth of the agricultural chelates market.
Product innovations are emerging as a central trend in the agricultural chelates market, with major companies actively developing innovative solutions to fortify their market positions. A noteworthy example is the initiative by Innospec Inc., a prominent US-based polyethylene wax producer. In August 2022, Innospec Inc. introduced ENVIOMET C, an environmentally friendly chelating agent designed for agricultural applications. This product stands out for its readily biodegradable nature, aiming to meet the demands of customers seeking chelating agents that deliver exceptional performance while minimizing environmental impact. ENVIOMET C reflects the industry's commitment to sustainability and addresses the growing preference for eco-friendly agricultural solutions.
