Market Overview
Plant hormones are referred to as plant growth regulators (PGRs) or phytohormones, can be defined as plant supplement or plant nutrition. Plant hormones are chemicals just like animal hormones that help in the growth, development, and functioning of plants.
Just as animals, plants too are living organisms that function as a unit, carrying out vital biochemical reactions that are required to survive. These hormones help in formation of tissues, respiration, energy production, and even plant longevity and death. In addition to helping in the formation of leaves, flowers, stems, fruit, etc. plant hormones also help in determining the gender of the flowers, the color of the fruits, and leaves.
The growing interest in soil health and soil-plant interactions has collectively hatched a new concept of plant hormones that can be commercially available and fed to the plants externally. Using plant hormones is a cost-efficient mean of pushing yields to escalated limits. Although plant hormones have just begun to test the market, they are already witnessing a huge demand across the world.
Acknowledging the increasing demand, uptake, and hence the colossal growth, the market is witnessing currently, Market Research Future (MRFR) in its recently published study report asserts that the global plant hormones market will witness exponential accruals registering a strong CAGR during the review period (2017 – 2023).
Growing demand for food, led by the ever-increasing population worldwide, accounts for the major driving force behind the market growth which is augmenting the demand and adoption of plant hormones. Besides, the augmenting demand for crop productivity enhancing products has raised the demand for plant hormones globally.
The newly found application area of plant hormones i.e. space farming is expected to provide the huge impetus to the market growth. The idea of encouraging crop cultivation in space has been discussed around for long. In addition, the prospects of long-term human space expedition in the future have raised the need to find ways to provide food for the people in space sustainably. The concept of establishing lives in space presages that the heydays of plant hormones are just around the corner.
On the other hand, factors such as demand and supply gap of feedstock required in the production of these hormones are expected to impede the market growth over the forecast period, increasing their prices unreasonably.
