Agriculture Inputs Testing Market - Forecast(2023 - 2028)

Agricultural inputs testing is highly popular among developed and commercialized regions. The implementation of certain regulations pertaining to environmental safety and agricultural productivity is driving the global agricultural inputs testing market. The segmentation of this industry is done according to the types of test carried out and types of equipment and consumables used in the agricultural inputs testing market. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.04% during the forecast period 2018–2023. The Asia-Pacific agricultural inputs testing market is forecast grow at the highest CAGR of 6.47%, which can be mainly attributed to the spread of the Green Revolution in Asia-Pacific countries. 

Agricultural inputs testing helps in understanding the amount of resources that is to be supplemented for optimal plant growth. The testing helps in determining the contamination level, compositions, and other characteristics such as acidity or pH level of the given sample. Agricultural inputs testing entails soil testing, fertilizer testing, water testing, and others. Soil testing helps in defining the soil fertility, pesticide residue, and nutrient levels that are present in the soil. Soil testing also helps in monitoring the stages of soil degradation. In developed countries, soil tests are carried out in certified laboratories, whereas smallholder farmers adopt consumable kits for testing purpose. 

These tests help farmers determine the type of fertilizers to be used on a particular soil type, thus optimizing agricultural productivity. Various equipment such as flame photometer, pH meter, spectroscope, and others are used to determine the contents present in the soil. The recent technological advancements have helped farmers to determine the seed characteristics and production practices to be implemented based on types of soil and climatic conditions, resulting in higher crop yields. The soil testing services segment generated revenue of $1,269.07m in 2017 and is estimated to reach $1,870.62m by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 6.80%.  

The implementation of certain regulations pertaining to environmental safety and agricultural productivity, and the need to overcome foodborne illnesses caused due to the presence of pathogens and residues of fertilizers in food are some of the drivers that are contributing to the growth of the market. 

Smallholder farmers use consumable kits in carrying out agricultural tests; and thus, precise results cannot be determined using these kits. In regions such as Africa, testing samples are sent to European countries, indicating the lack of infrastructure in developing countries. These are some of the challenges faced by the market
