Report Overview

Global Biofertilizers Market- Industry Trends & Forecast Report 2028

The global biofertilizers market was worth USD 2.7 billion in 2021 and is further projected to reach USD 5.7 billion by the year 2028, growing at the CAGR of 11.70% in the forecast period. The growth of the market is attributed to the rising adoption of precision farming and the increasing environmental impact of certain agricultural practices such as the use of chemical fertilizers in high volume. Furthermore, technological advancements in agriculture and increasing demand for high agricultural yields are also emerging as major driving factors for market growth.

Biofertilizers - Overview

Biofertilizers are made from biological waste that consists of living microorganisms. It helps in improving the general soil fertility. Biofertilizers add vitamins via the herbal strategies of nitrogen fixation, solubilizing phosphorus, and stimulating plant boom through the synthesis of growth-promoting materials. The microorganisms in biofertilizers restore the soil's natural nutrient cycle and build soil organic rely on. Biofertilizers provide "eco-friendly '' natural agro-enter. Biofertilizers together with Rhizobium, Azotobacter, Azospirillum, and blue inexperienced algae (BGA) had been in use for a long time.

Global Biofertilizers Market Forecast and Trends

Growth Drivers

Rising Demand For Organic Food

Organic food is the type of food produced with the standards and methods of organic farming, which eliminates the use of chemical fertilizers, hormones, and pollutants. It is gaining huge popularity among health-conscious consumers, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. The production of organic food involves biofertilizers that act as a replacement for chemical fertilizers. The companies are increasingly launching different organic food types and products, which is anticipated to fuel the demand for biofertilizers to be used in organic food production, in the forecast period.

Favorable Government Policies And Fundings

With increasing environmental consciousness and focus on sustainability, the government of various countries is significantly promoting the production and use of biofertilizers. For instance, the Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions (CED) has recently granted USD 3 million in financial assistance to the Centre de traitement de la biomasse de la Montérégie which specializes in managing and processing liquid and semi-liquid organic waste and recovers the waste it treats, transforming it into biogas, biofertilizers, and ammonium sulfate.

Restraints

Constraints of Biofertilizers Production Technology

There are certain limitations of biofertilizers that can act as a major restraining factor for its market growth. First of all, biofertilizers have a shorter shelf-life compared to chemical fertilizers. This may be a major loss for the farmers as well as producers as they need proper storage. Moreover, biofertilizers are often plant-specific, which means not every biofertilizer can be used in every plant type, like chemical fertilizers, which may restrain the farmers from shifting towards these agricultural products.

Impact of COVID-19 on Global Biofertilizers Market

The global biofertilizers market was not much affected by the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. This is because of the strong and deep penetration of local biofertilizers manufacturers. The demand for organic food spiked during the COVID-19 period due to the rising health consciousness among consumers, due to which the production also increased, propelling the demand for biofertilizers in the agriculture industry. Furthermore, the demand for sustainability also emerged during this period, which is anticipated to positively influence the global biofertilizers market in the forecast period.

Global Biofertilizers Market - By Type

Based on type, the global biofertilizers market is segmented into nitrogen-fixing biofertilizers, phosphate solubilizing & mobilizing biofertilizers, potassium solubilizing & mobilizing biofertilizers, and other types. The nitrogen-fixing biofertilizers segment holds the largest share in the global biofertilizers market. These prove to be very beneficial for the crops in boosting soil fertility naturally, allowing farmers to save on synthetic fertilizers. This allows the crops to eliminate the need for chemical fertilizers to grow, yielding healthy and environment friendly output.

Global Biofertilizers Market - By Crop Type

Based on crop types, the global biofertilizers market is segmented into cereals & grains, pulses & oilseeds, fruits & vegetables, and other crops. The cereals and grains segment accounts for the largest market share. The use of biofertilizers for cereals and grains can help in the overall growth and development of crops. Generally, plant growth regulating rhizobacteria is used in non-leguminous crops such as wheat, maize, paddy, etc. The pulses and oilseeds segment is also growing at a high rate.
