Regenerative Agriculture Market Value, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, Competition, Industry Analysis Report, By Practice, By Application, By Region; Outlook and Forecast, 2023-2030

Report Summary

Regenerative agriculture refers to the method of agriculture that focuses on soil regeneration, enhancing biodiversity, improving water cycle, and improving resilience to climate change. Regenerative agriculture has a positive impact on the environment as it works to improve the overall health of the ecosystem of the farms. In addition, it increases water retention and reduces water usage, facilitates carbon sequestration, and reduces reliance on harmful chemicals and fertilisers significantly. Regenerative agriculture aims to mitigate the global food crisis and decelerate greenhouse gas emissions. Over the recent years, increasing demand for high-quality crop foods and growing need for a better agricultural ecosystem have brought regenerative agriculture to the forefront of the global food supply chain. 

What is Regenerative Agriculture Market?

Overview & Key Insights

In terms of revenue, the regenerative agriculture market size was valued at USD 8.87 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 26.21 billion in 2030 and is expected to touch a CAGR of 14.5% during the forecast period. Various factors are expected to contribute to the revenue growth of the market over the coming years. 

Increasing need to reduce carbon emissions, growing focus on improving soil health to boost agricultural productivity, and growing demand for food due to rapidly growing population are some major factors expected to boost market revenue growth over the forecast period. Regenerative agriculture also reduces the effects of soil erosion and increases water infiltration, in turn, contributing to healthier soil and crops and this is another factor expected to boost the adoption of regenerative agriculture techniques across the globe. Regenerative agriculture market is expected to further register significant growth over the coming years attributed to increasing need for diversified farm income, growing need for large scale arable land, and increased crop resistance due to rising incidence of crop diseases. 

What are the major growth drivers, restraints, and opportunities in Regenerative Agriculture Market?

Key Trends

• Growing availability of financial incentives to farmers can propel market growth 

Adoption of regenerative agriculture is cost-intensive to farmers and in order to make this process easier, many companies have started building strategic partnerships to incentivize and support farmers through the transition. This is expected to be a key factor that can drive revenue growth of the market over the forecast period. In addition, regenerative agriculture has been widely promoted by civil society and major multinational food companies which is expected to further boost opportunities for financial incentives for the farmers.

• Increasing need for healthier food is expected to drive market growth

Regenerative agriculture produces crops that are better for people’s health as well as the nature. Regenerative agriculture aims to divert from the application of synthetic fertilisers, monoculture crops, and production methods that extensively uses harmful chemicals and substances. Regenerative agriculture essentially produces healthy food and results in increasing yields and profits for the farmers. Growing demand from consumers for healthier and organic food is expected to boost the adoption of regenerative agriculture methods and is expected to further boost revenue growth of the market.

• Time-consuming and difficulty in management are some fat it’s that can restrain market growth 

Establishment of regenerative agriculture practices require a time-intensive approach and this can hamper its implementation. In addition, regenerative farming is difficult to carry on out on a large-scale basis and limitations with crop rotations can further restrict market growth going ahead. 

What are the Regenerative Agriculture Market Segmentations and Bifurcations?

Key Segmentation Analysis

Based on segmentation, the regenerative agriculture market has been categorized into the basis of practice, application, and key regions. 

Based on Practice 

The practice category is further segmented into following types:

• Aquaculture 
• Holistic Planned Grazing 
• Agroecology 
• Agroforestry 
• Biochar 
• Pasture Cropping 
• Silvopasture 
• Others 

Based on practice, the aquaculture segment is expected to account for the largest revenue share over the forecast period. Aquaculture enhances restoration of both land and sea, reverses global warming, and enhances food security. In addition, regenerative aquaculture creates sustainable food systems by creating small-scale coastal underwater gardens. Acuaculture promotes growth of seaweed and shellfish that work by improving water quality, create habitats for other marine life, and provides sustainable food and biofuel to other life forms and these are some key factors that are expected to drive revenue growth of the segment over the coming years. 

Based on Application 

The application category is further segmented into:

• Carbon sequestration 
• Nutrient Cycling 
• Biodiversity 

Based on application, carbon sequestration segment is expected to register significant revenue growth over the forecast period. Key factors expected to contribute to the growth of this segment include increasing need to mitigate environmental disruption, boost crop rotation and implementation of recycling methods. Carbon sequestration captures and stores greenhouse gases from the atmosphere to mitigate climate change, restore damaged arable lands, enhance crop production. Growing need for sustainable farming approaches is expected to further boost revenue growth of the segment. 

What are the regional and country trends in Regenerative Agriculture Market?

Regional Segmentation Analysis

The geography category is further segmented into: 

• North America 
• Europe 
• Asia Pacific 
• Middle East & Africa 
• Latin America 

Based on the regional bifurcation, North America is expected to continue to dominate the global regenerative agriculture market over the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to increasing companies focusing on sustainable agriculture and growing focus on green agriculture. Increasing focus on farming practices that enhance soil health, water and biodiversity is another factor that is expected to drive market growth going ahead. Asia Pacific is expected to register fastest revenue growth over the forecast period attributed to presence of a larger agriculture sector in the region, increasing efforts to promote advanced and emerging technology in agriculture and initiatives to raise awareness regarding soil health and improvement.
