The Global Biofertilizers Market Size is expected to reach USD 4.63 Billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 11.87% during the forecast period 2022 to 2030. The biofertilizers market is expected to grow significantly in the forecasting period, driven by the increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly farming practices and also a growing awareness among farmers about the benefits of using biofertilizers instead of chemical fertilizers is driving the demand for biofertilizers globally. 

 

Market Overview

The Biofertilizer Market is estimated to witness continuous growth in the coming years due to the rising demand for fertilizers compatible with sustainable and organic farming and agriculture practices. These fertilizers are an economical and eco-friendly option for crop production, this helps to increase the adoption across the globe. Improvement in soil fertility, increase in nutrient absorption by plants, and low risk to human health associated with biofertilizers, are some of the key factors driving the global biofertilizers market growth. A biofertilizer contains living microorganisms which are applied to seeds, soil, and plant surface, colonize the rhizosphere or the inside of the plant, and promote growth by increasing the supply of primary nutrients to the host plant. Increased demand for organic products leads to increased demand for biofertilizers.

Driving Factors

The increase in the usage of biofertilizers in cereals and grains leads to a boost in the market of biofertilizers across the globe. The usage of biofertilizers is dominant in the cereals & grains application segment. Demand for organic cereals is increasing in developed and developing economies due to the health benefits offered by organic cereals. The use of biofertilizers in cereals & grains dominates the market with a profitable share in terms of application.

The main factor is an increase in awareness about the harmful effects of chemical fertilizers on the environment is a prime factor boosting the global market. Governmental support is also the main factor to boost the market because the overuse of chemical fertilizers and their potential ill effects on human health has encouraged the promotion of biofertilizers. Governments across several dominant countries are providing various plans, schemes, and other initiatives to encourage the adoption of bio-based fertilizers among farmers. Governments have authorized comprehensive economic recovery plans that included new liquidity, agricultural and food industry subsidies, and tax flexibility which are predicted to positively impact product growth.

 

Restraining Factors

The production cost of biofertilizers is high as compared to conventional fertilizers because they require specific machinery and equipment for their production. Biofertilizers include live microbial cells with a short shelf life, and their storage and shipping require extra care and precaution which leads to rising the product's cost. Biofertilizers provide lower nutrient density than conventional fertilizers.Thus more products are used for the same effect. This factor is projected to restrain the market growth during the predicted years.

 

Market Segmentation

The global biofertilizers market share is classified into the microorganism, application, type, crop type, and form.

On the basis of Microorganism: Based on the microorganism, the global biofertilizers market is segmented into rhizobium, azotobacter, azospirillum, blue-green algae, phosphate solubilizing bacteria, mycorrhiza, other microorganisms. Among these, the rhizobium segment is dominating the market during the forecasted time period. Rhizobium is the leading type of microorganism used in agriculture due to its huge importance in providing the major nitrogen source in the soil. Rhizobium is an excellent nitrogen-fixing agent, the rhizobium exerts plant growth-promoting traits and supports the inorganic phosphate. Its application is also increasing due to its ability to ensure success in achieving crop productivity and cutting the need for synthetic fertilizers that are expensive and harmful to the environment.

 

On the basis of Application: Based on the application, the global biofertilizers market is segmented into soil treatment, seed treatment, and others. Seed treatment application dominated the market with the highest market share over the forecast periodwith its wide usage in administering biofertilizers. The high market share of this segment is attributed to the several advantages of seed treatment in biofertilizers, such as increasing seed germination and decreased incidence of foot and root rot. The reason behind the growth of seed treatment is the increasing use of biofertilizers in seed treatment of cereals like rice, wheat, maize, and sorghum and oilseeds such as sunflower, groundnut, and soybean are driving the biofertilizers market.

 

On the basis of Type:  On the basis of type, the global biofertilizers market is differentiated into nitrogen fixing biofertilizers, phosphate solubilizing and mobilizing biofertilizers, potash solubilizing and mobilizing biofertilizers, and others. Nitrogen-fixing biofertilizers dominated the market, owing to the growth in the agriculture sector, farmers have widely made use of nitrogen-fixing and phosphate solubilizing biological fertilizers to produce high demand crops such as rice, wheat, oilseeds, and others. Nitrogen is used to correct the nitrogen level in the soil hence, they support the growth of the crop. Phosphate solubilizers are also witnessing significant market growth. The demand for phosphate solubilizers is predicted to grow due to their potential to improve crop quality and yield.

 

On the basis of Crop Type: Based on the crop type, the global biofertilizers market is classified into Cereals, Pulses & Oilseeds, Fruits & Vegetables, and Others. The cereals and grains segment held the largest volume share compared to other crop types. Cereals and grains production demand a considerable quantity of biofertilizer for healthy development. Potential health benefits require a high demand for organic cereals in both developed as well as developing economies to boost the market growth of organic Cereals.

 

On the basis of Form: Based on the form, the global biofertilizers market is segmented into dry and liquid. Due to increased usage in agriculture and farmers' growing acceptance of their longer shelf lives, the liquid category is expected to rise faster during the upcoming years. The reason behind the growth is they have a long shelf life, farmers can buy them in large quantities with a limited budget and store them for one or two years, which boosts their profit margin. Liquid biofertilizers can be utilized in organic farming and drip irrigation and used in modern agriculture, including soilless farming systems like fertigation and hydroponics.
