The global agricultural micronutrients market size reached a value of USD 5.19 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to USD 9.03 billion by 2032, rising from USD 5.53 billion in 2025. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.26% during the forecast period. The U.S. market is expected to experience significant growth, with estimates indicating it will reach USD 1.88 billion by 2032. This expansion is largely fueled by the increased use of micronutrients in large-scale crop production. In 2024, the Asia Pacific region led globally, accounting for a commanding 46.62% market share.

Key micronutrients—including zinc, boron, iron, molybdenum, chloride, nickel, copper, and manganese—are critical for correcting soil nutrient imbalances. These nutrients are applied to crops such as cereals, oilseeds, pulses, fruits, and vegetables in either chelated or non-chelated forms. Application methods include soil treatment, foliar spraying, and fertigation.
