Biofertilizers Market : Global Demand Analysis & Opportunity Outlook 2024

Bio-fertilizer Market Overview    

Bio-fertilizer is a substance which applied to increase fertility of the soil and crops. These bio-fertilizers contain micro-organisms which help the soil to gain its nutrient back and enrich soils with organic matter. Since bio-fertilizer does not contain any chemicals that are injurious to the soil, it is being adopted over chemical fertilizers across the globe.

Market Size and Forecast

Global bio-fertilizer market reached USD 1106.4 Million in 2016 and is expected thrive at a CAGR of 14.2 % over the forecast period i.e. 2017-2024. The global demand for bio-fertilizers is increasing due to the rising demand for agricultural products. Further, rising global population is creating huge demand for the large scale production in agricultural sector. This factor is expected to spur the growth of the global bio-fertilizers market over the forecast period.

In terms of regions, the global bio-fertilizer market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa regions. Among these regions, North America is slated to account for a leading share of 28.7% by 2024 in the bio-fertilizers market. The growth in the region is anticipated to be fostered by increased demand for organic food products. Besides, encouragement by the government to adopt advanced agricultural techniques is also expected to positively impact the growth of bio-fertilizers market in the North America. U.S. and Canada are the prominent markets in the region.

Apart from North America region, Asia Pacific region accepted to witness robust growth over the forecast period. Asia Pacific is expected to showcase significant growth over the forecast period i.e. 2017-2024 by registering a CAGR of 15.4% over the forecast period. In addition to this, cyanobacteria segment in microorganisms segment is expected to achieve Y-o-Y growth rate of 17.7% in 2024 as compared to previous year.

Growth Drivers & Challenges

Governments of both developing and developed countries are taking various initiatives and initialization of number of programs to boost the agriculture sector. Government provides extensive support to farmers in order to purchase bio-fertilizers, which is expected to bolster the demand for bio-fertilizers across the globe. For instance, under the National Project on Organic Farming (NPOF), Government is promoting production of various organic inputs in the country which includes bio-fertilizers. Moreover, NPOF provides financial assistance up to 25% of total financial expense for setting up bio-fertilizers production units. Apart from this, governments are also increasing agricultural spending to encourage and to boost this sector. This factor is anticipated to intensify the demand for bio-fertilizers all across the globe. Subsequently, increasing food security concerns have led governments to take initiatives to encourage the agriculture sector which in turn fueling the demand for bio-fertilizers all across the globe.

However, weakening purchasing power of farmers is likely to limit the demand for bio-fertilizers across the globe. Moreover, weak implementation of agricultural laws and policies in underdeveloped countries is hampering the growth of agriculture sector which in turn likely to hamper the growth of global bio-fertilizers market.
