The agricultural micronutrients market has grown exponentially in the last few years and this trend is projected to continue. The market was estimated at $4.8 billion in 2014 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% from 2015 to 2020; the market is projected to reach $7.6 billion by 2020. The market is primarily driven by the increasing demand for food in tandem with the growing disposable income, rising standards in agricultural farming, and decreasing use of macronutrients in agriculture. The world population is increasing significantly, whereas arable land is decreasing continually; but to feed the growing population with limited arable land, productivity must improve. Agricultural micronutrients provide essential nutrients to crops to deliver enhanced yields and superior products.

The Asia-Pacific region accounted for the largest share of the agricultural micronutrients market in 2014, and is also projected to be the fastest-growing market, at a CAGR of 8.3% between 2015 and 2020. The region is projected to be the emerging revenue-generating pocket for market players.
