The farm inputs market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $318.49 billion in 2023 to $330.6 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8%. The rise during the historic period can be linked to a growing demand for eco-friendly products, increased consumption driven by health benefits, higher nitrogen prices, heightened sustainability concerns, and a stronger emphasis on research and development.

The farm inputs market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $387.49 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period is driven by government policies and subsidies, international trade agreements, changes in farm sizes and practices, infrastructure development, and advancements in smart agriculture. Key trends during this period include improved fertilizer technologies, progress in drip irrigation systems, innovations in smart seed technologies, the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and the integration of renewable energy.

The increasing demand for food production is expected to drive the growth of the farm inputs market. This heightened demand arises from a growing global population and the need for diverse and sustainable food sources to ensure food security and nutritional health. Farm inputs, including seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, water, and machinery, play a crucial role in boosting food production by enhancing crop yields, protecting against pests and diseases, and improving farming efficiency. For example, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) reported in July 2024 that productivity in the food chain rose by 2%, while the overall economy saw a 2.6% increase. The total gross value added by the food chain reached $175.45 billion (£132.9 billion), with catering contributing the most at $57.3 billion (£43.4 billion) and wholesaling the least at $21.92 billion (£16.6 billion). Thus, the increasing need for food production is fueling the growth of the farm inputs market.

Key players in the farm inputs market are focusing on developing advanced plant protection solutions, such as high-end insecticides, to boost agricultural productivity and sustainability. High-end insecticides are premium pest control products that offer superior efficacy and features compared to standard options. For instance, in July 2023, Syngenta India Private Limited, an agrichemical company based in India, introduced Incipio and Simodi, designed for crops such as paddy, cotton, and vegetables throughout India, utilizing innovative PLINAZOLIN technology. These insecticides provide broad-spectrum, long-lasting control against pests such as stem borers, leaffolders, and lepidopteran insects, thereby improving crop yields and quality while reducing the frequency of applications and overall costs for farmers.

In August 2024, PI Industries Limited, an Indian agri-sciences firm, acquired Plant Health Care Plc for $43.27 million (£32.78 million). This acquisition supports PI Industries' strategic objectives and enhances its position in the agricultural sector by leveraging Plant Health Care Plc's expertise and market presence, particularly in biological or peptide technology platforms and plant immunity inducers. Plant Health Care Plc is a UK-based company specializing in agricultural biological inputs.
