Humic acid market is projected to experience an upward growth trend, owing to the wide product usage in horticulture, residential gardening, agriculture, bioremediation, medicines, dietary supplements, and vertical farms. Disproportionate use of synthetic fertilizers to increase the crop yield adversely affects the quality of underground water and dampens the land arability & output. This has compelled the governments to introduce legislations such as the common agricultural policy of the EU encouraging widespread application of bio-based fertilizers in the farming activities, resulting in escalated product demand. Rising consumer inclination towards the consumption of organic food will provide a boost to overall humic acid market. According to the Organic Trade Association based in the U.S., the revenue generated from the sale of the organic foods was nearly USD 40 billion in 2015, and is projected to increase substantially over the years ahead.
