South Africa Biostimulants Market Synopsis

The South Africa Biostimulants Market is primarily fueled by the imperative need to enhance agricultural yields, improve crop quality, and bolster overall plant health. Agricultural output has seen a substantial increase, with a 15.9% rise to $17,161.7 million in 2020, contributing significantly to the GDP, projected at $4,192.4 million in 2019. This has prompted farmers and producers to increasingly adopt biostimulants as a means to augment crop production and ensure sustainability. In 2022, the African biostimulants market faced challenges due to global agricultural commodity issues, coupled with high consumer food price inflation, reaching an average of approximately 9% in 2022, up from 6.5% in 2021. Nevertheless, the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform, and Rural Development's initiatives are expected to stimulate the financial services and agribusiness sectors. Consequently, the agricultural sector is poised for a resurgence in 2023, which will further propel the biostimulants market in the forthcoming years.

South Africa Biostimulants Market

According to 6Wresearch, South Africa Biostimulants Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% during 2023-2029. This growth can be attributed to government initiatives aimed at promoting sustainable agriculture, exemplified by the Agriculture and Agro-Processing Master Plan (AAMP). The South African government is actively endorsing environmentally friendly agricultural practices by offering essential tax incentives like the 12L Tax Incentive under Income Tax Act No. 58 of 1962, among others, which are expected to drive the demand for biostimulants in the years ahead. Furthermore, various regions within South Africa, such as the Western Cape, have already adopted conservative agricultural methods, accounting for up to 51% of agricultural practices. The implementation of similar practices in regions like Mpumalanga and the Free State is anticipated to further bolster the adoption of conservative agriculture and, consequently, drive robust demand for biostimulants in the South African market during the forecast period.

Market by Form
