Agricultural Enzymes Market Analysis, By Type (Phosphatases, Dehydrogenases, Proteases, Sulfatases, and Others), By Crop Type (Cereals, Oilseeds & Pulses, Fruits & Vegetables, and Turf & Ornamentals), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Agricultural enzymes are biological catalysts or proteins primarily obtained from plant, animal tissues, or microbes. The popularity and utilization of agricultural enzymes have primarily increased due to the rising need to increase crop yield and the growing adoption of advanced farming practices. Agricultural enzymes have emerged as a highly effective tool, which helps to unlock stored nutrients to the plant roots. The products are expected to witness a higher acceptability rate among farmers.

Commonly used enzymes such as phosphatases, dehydrogenase, amylases, and others help in reducing the pests' attack on crop yields. Furthermore, the rise in health consciousness, increase in disposable income, and rising awareness regarding food security and soil health are boosting agricultural enzymes market size.

The products, when combined with selected microbes, are considered as an organic substitute for chemical means such as pesticides or fertilizers. The enzymatic activity has beneficial effects on soil health by balancing the chemical, physical, and biological components of soil. Furthermore, it supplies essential nutrients to the growing crops, even in the unfavorable conditions. Together with soil bioremediation, the enzymes support soil contaminant degradation. However, stringent government regulations, especially in the U.S. and Canada regions, and price sensitivity are the significant challenges projected to hinder the market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 on Agricultural Enzymes Market

The outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic has adversely impacted the global economy and product & service industries, including the agrochemical industry. The global trade witnessed a sudden halt leading to disruptions in the supply chain and mode of transportation owing to the shrink in the agricultural enzymes market growth. With rising health safety concerns, the surging demand for chemical-free products created a number of opportunities for manufacturers. However, the pandemic caused a higher impact on the agrochemicals industry in terms of demand and production.
