Global Humic Acid Organic Fertilizer Market Report 2026–2036
Western Market Research estimates that the Humic Acid Organic Fertilizer Market was valued at USD XXXX million in 2025 and is projected to reach USD XXXX million by 2036, expanding at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period.
Market Overview
Humic acid organic fertilizers are soil-conditioning products derived from leonardite, lignite, peat, or composted organic matter. These fertilizers enhance nutrient uptake, improve soil structure, stimulate microbial activity, and increase crop resilience against environmental stress.
The market is gaining momentum due to:
-
Rising demand for organic and sustainable farming practices
-
Soil degradation concerns globally
-
Government incentives promoting bio-based fertilizers
-
Increasing awareness of soil health management
-
Growth in high-value crop cultivation
The study combines interviews with fertilizer manufacturers, agricultural distributors, agronomists, and farmers, along with secondary data from agricultural production statistics and regulatory frameworks.
Impact of COVID-19
The pandemic initially disrupted:
-
Fertilizer supply chains
-
Cross-border trade of agricultural inputs
-
Farm labor availability
However, increased focus on food security and local agricultural production strengthened demand for organic soil enhancers post-2020.
