Plant growth regulators are hot-selling with bio-source products growing at an annual rate of 34%

With the expansion of organic agriculture, the market share of natural regulators extracted by microbial fermentation has surged. Taking Brassinolide as an example, the output of active substances derived from rapeseed pollen has doubled in the past three years, and China has become the largest producer.

The industry presents three major trends:
1. Green substitution: The new EU regulations restrict chemical synthetic regulators and stimulate the demand for biostimulants such as chitosan and alginate;
2. Functional complexation: For example, the combination of "Brassinolide + amino oligosaccharides" has both growth promotion and antiviral functions;
3. Digital management: UAV spectral monitoring + regulator precision spraying system has been implemented in Shandong Smart Orchard to reduce drug blind spots.
Experts predict that the market size of bio-source regulators will exceed US$5 billion in 2027.
