Research analysis on the global humic acid market identifies that the increase in demand for organic food will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the market. The growing preference towards organic food and healthy lifestyle have reduced the use of synthetic fertilizers to a large extent. Organically water soluble humic acid promotes natural growth of organisms in soil and increases the capacity to absorb energy through the process of photosynthesis in plants. This reduces the use of pesticides and fungicides extensively by increasing the resistance against infections in plants. Such benefits will increase the adoption of humic acid in the organic food industry fueling market growth. Technavio's market research analysts predict that this market will grow at a CAGR of more than 12% by 2021.
The increasing demand for green fertilizers will be one of the latest trends that will gain traction in the humic acid market during the next four years. Increasing awareness about the harmful effects of synthetic fertilizers, inorganic chemical compounds, and artificial compounds in developed countries is likely to increase the demand for organic compounds like humic acid and fulvic acid. To decompose the organic residues in soil, humic acid is being increasingly used as a biostimulant, which increases the metabolic activity of soil organisms and speeds up the decomposition process.
Owing to the presence of a considerable number of vendors, this market appears to be moderately fragmented. The market is quite competitive and the vendors in the humic acid market are mainly focusing on strengthening their distribution networks to improve their market positions.
