Market Dynamics
Advanced Technology for Sustainable Farming to Increase Yield
Nanotechnology plays an integral part in crop production with the help of controlling nutrients, monitoring water quality and using pesticides. Sustainable development in agriculture improves food quality with a view to the future. Nanoparticle technology helps in developing a sustainable environment and also supports in management of resources for agriculture. Fertilizers, herbicides and pests controlling nanoparticles help in maintaining soil fertility.
Nanoparticles such as carbon dots, graphene oxide and fullerenes are used for the improvement of seed quality. The study on the implication of nanotechnology in the agricultural sector has become an essential factor for sustainable development. Government investment and initiatives to adopt modern agricultural technology due to increasing population, rising demand for food products and increasing awareness in consumers towards food safety are growing the market.
Presence of Major Market Players
The nanotechnology market has expanded substantially in the agriculture sector. Research has been carried out in the commercial agrochemical sector to gauge the potential advantages of nanotechnology in agriculture. The emergence of nanotechnology applications in consumer products has also increased the number of ethical and societal concerns in some countries, which include health and environmental safety, consumer perception and intellectual property rights.
The global agricultural nanotechnology market is driven by existing agrochemical companies as they are investigating the potential of nanotechnologies to achieve high efficiency and greater penetration of technology into agricultural components used for plants. Various nano-products specifically used in the agricultural sector have been launched by technology-oriented mid-sized companies that produce soil-enhancement products that promote even water distribution, storage, and consequently water saving.
Lack of Knowledge about Agricultural Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology involves working at an incredibly small scale, which can be challenging for those unfamiliar with it. Understanding how to apply nanomaterials in agriculture requires a grasp of both nanoscience and agricultural science. Without adequate knowledge about agricultural nanotechnology, companies may struggle to effectively market their products and demonstrate their value proposition to potential customers.
Information about agricultural nanotechnology may not be readily available or easily accessible to farmers, policymakers and other stakeholders. This can lead to a lack of awareness about its benefits and potential applications. Farmers and agricultural stakeholders may be hesitant to adopt nanotechnology-based solutions if they don't fully understand how these technologies work or the potential benefits they offer, hindering the market growth.
Market Segment Analysis
The global agricultural nanotechnology market is segmented based on type, application, end-user and region.
Increase Nutrient Use Efficiency Thorugh Nano Fertilizers
The global agricultural nanotechnology market is segmented based on nano pesticides, nano herbicides, nanomaterials, nano fertilizers, nano biosensors and others. The nano fertilizers accounted for the largest share. Nano fertilizers promote the slow and steady liberation of nutrients by enhancing the productivity of the soil. They increase nutrient use efficiency and decrease the loss of nutrients which enhances market growth.
Nano fertilizers are the most promising engineered elements experimented with for soil. Positive outcomes have been achieved using nano fertilizers. Nano fertilizers can be classified as nanoscale fertilizers, nanoscale additives, and nanoscale coatings. Enhancement in the photosynthetic function in plants produced due to increased availability of nutrients leads to high yield and dry matter production. The use of nano fertilizers proves helpful as it decreases the frequency of utilization of chemical fertilizers.
