Regional Analysis

The global foliar spray market has been analyzed with respect to five regions, namely, Asia Pacific (APAC), North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East Africa (MEA).

Europe held the largest market share in 2017 due to support for advanced farming techniques and initiatives such as Agriculture 4.0, high expenditure doled out by governments for agriculture, and an established sector. Stringent quality standards for fruits and vegetables have led to procurement of foliar sprays which can culminate in healthy produce devoid of infestations. Furthermore, iron deficiency of plants grown in the Mediterranean can be corrected by foliar iron sprays.

North America is the second-largest region of the market due to being home to a developed agricultural sector. The legalization of marijuana cultivation has led to a spike in procurement of cannabis plants. The attack of pests on these plants has led to an increase in fungicides and insecticides. Interest in horticulture among gated communities can drive the demand for foliar sprays. Deterioration of the soil and the demand for food are factors driving the regional demand.

APAC is pegged to exhibit the fastest growth rate during the forecast period due to factors such as availability of arable land, the growing populace, government schemes, presence of agrarian economies, and increasing investments in research and development in farming. The need for instant stimulants and boosting agents can drive up the demand for foliar sprays.

Latin America can witness massive demand for foliar sprays due to the farming industry in Brazil and Argentina. Lastly, the MEA foliar spray market can experience a sluggish growth rate over the forecast period.
