Agricultural Microbials Market Size is valued at USD 8.1 Billion in 2024 and is predicted to reach USD 37.1 Billion by the year 2034 at a 16.5% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
Microbials play a vital component of sustainable agriculture and offer a key role in maintaining the health of the plants by acting against pathogens as well as promoting growth. Agriculture microbials are essential to increase and maintain soil fertility and thereby promoting crop production. Soil microbials also produce antimicrobial agents and enzymes that are used for the physiological as well as the reproductive growth of the plants. These microbials augment the plant growth by producing various plant growth hormones, siderophores, and various hydrolytic enzymes. Agriculture microbials include naturally occurring microorganisms including Fungi, Viruses, Protozoa; this microbiota presents a key role in host health and development. At the present times, it has been well recognized that agriculture microbial inoculants are considered as a prime element of integrated nutrient management by this means leading to a sustainable environment. Agriculture microbials are gaining popularity over conventional chemical pesticides due to environmental hazards associated with synthetic fertilizers such as soil contamination, and loss of soil fertility loss. Furthermore, the necessity to improve the agricultural production supply owing to rising population and reducing cultivatable land area is shifting the preference towards naturally occurring microbials.
These microbials are widely used in the production of cereals & grains, oilseeds & pulses, fruits & vegetables, and other range of crops in the form of dry including dry granules, water-dispersible granules, and wettable powders and liquid comprising emulsifiable concentrates, suspension concentrates among others. These factors are expected to promote the market growth over the forecast period.The Global Agricultural Microbials market is categorized on the basis of types, crop types, functions, applications, and formulations and region.

InsightAce Analytic follows a standard and comprehensive market research methodology focused on offering the most accurate and precise market insights. The methods followed for all our market research studies include three significant steps – primary research, secondary research, and data modeling and analysis - to derive the current market size and forecast it over the forecast period. In this study, these three steps were used iteratively to generate valid data points (minimum deviation), which were cross-validated through multiple approaches mentioned below in the data modeling section.
Through secondary research methods, information on the market under study, its peer, and the parent market was collected. This information was then entered into data models. The resulted data points and insights were then validated by primary participants.
Based on additional insights from these primary participants, more directional efforts were put into doing secondary research and optimize data models. This process was repeated till all data models used in the study produced similar results (with minimum deviation). This way, this iterative process was able to generate the most accurate market numbers and qualitative insights.
Secondary research
The secondary research sources that are typically mentioned to include, but are not limited to:
The paid sources for secondary research like Factiva, OneSource, Hoovers, and Statista
Primary Research:
Primary research involves telephonic interviews, e-mail interactions, as well as face-to-face interviews for each market, category, segment, and subsegment across geographies
The contributors who typically take part in such a course include, but are not limited to:
Data Modeling and Analysis:
In the iterative process (mentioned above), data models received inputs from primary as well as secondary sources. But analysts working on these models were the key. They used their extensive knowledge and experience about industry and topic to make changes and fine-tuning these models as per the product/service under study.
The standard data models used while studying this market were the top-down and bottom-up approaches and the company shares analysis model. However, other methods were also used along with these – which were specific to the industry and product/service under study.
