The biofertilizers market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.2 billion in 2023 to $2.53 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.2%. The historic growth can be credited to robust economic development in emerging markets, an upsurge in organic food demand, increased need for agricultural products, and the embrace of precision farming practices.
The biofertilizers market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.42 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.9%. The forecasted growth is driven by a growing emphasis on organic agriculture, escalating government initiatives, higher prices of synthetic fertilizers, and the expanding global population. Key trends anticipated in this period encompass the advancement of eco-friendly biofertilizers, innovations in products, technological progressions, and strategic partnerships and collaborations.
The biofertilizers market is anticipated to experience growth during the forecast period, driven by an escalating emphasis on organic agriculture. The promotion of sustainable farming practices, prioritizing soil health, biodiversity, and environmental conservation, characterizes organic agriculture. Biofertilizers, derived from naturally occurring microorganisms, play a pivotal role in enhancing soil fertility and nutrient availability without resorting to synthetic chemicals or genetically modified organisms. Notably, the prevalence of organic agriculture spans 191 countries, encompassing more than 76 million hectares of agricultural land managed organically by at least 3.7 million farmers, as reported by Organic Eprints in 2023. The heightened focus on organic agriculture is poised to be a significant driver propelling the biofertilizers market forward.
The biofertilizer market is expected to be fueled by increasing government initiatives, particularly those favoring agriculture. Government-driven programs supporting agriculture contribute to heightened demand for biofertilizers. A case in point is the Efficient Fertilizer Consortium launched by the Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research (FFAR), a U.S.-based agency, in November 2022. This public-private partnership research initiative aims to advance efficient, environmentally beneficial, and cost-effective fertilizers and management practices. In a similar vein, the Indian government introduced the One Nation One Fertilizer initiative in October 2022. This initiative involves consolidating various fertilizers under a unified brand named 'Bharat' to establish uniformity in fertilizer brands across the country. These governmental initiatives are anticipated to drive the growth of the biofertilizer market by creating a conducive environment for the adoption of biofertilizers.
Product innovation stands out as a prominent trend gaining traction in the biofertilizers market. Key players in this market are actively engaged in the development of innovative products designed to fortify crops, fostering increased resilience to stress factors. This commitment to innovation allows market participants to enhance their product portfolios, generate additional revenue streams, expand market share, and maintain a competitive advantage. An illustrative example is Symborg, a Spanish company specializing in the research and development of bio-fertilizers for advanced agricultural processes. In June 2021, the company introduced Qlimax, an innovative soil energizer functioning as a prebiotic. Qlimax significantly amplifies the concentration of microbial flora in the soil, promoting its growth and augmenting positive activity in the agronomic management of soil and crops. Similarly, Rizobacter, an Argentine producer of microbiological products for sustainable agriculture, launched Microstar BIO in May 2021. This novel specialty fertilizer line integrates biological components with chemical fertilizer, utilizing various Bacillus strains to enhance nutrient usage efficiency, solubilize minerals, and stimulate root growth.
Major companies operating in the biofertilizers market are strategically focused on developing cutting-edge technological solutions to bolster their market position. Innovative technological advancements in production processes and formulation techniques aim to improve the shelf life, stability, and ease of application of biofertilizer products. A case in point is Corteva Agriscience, a U.S.-based agricultural chemical and seed company, which, in September 2022, announced the introduction of its seed coating technology for paddy crops. This technology is designed to combat pests such as leaf folder and yellow stem borer by treating seeds of both conventional and hybrid varieties with Corteva's molecule. The seed coating serves as inbuilt protection, providing immunization against pests and diseases, thereby preventing pest attacks during the growth of paddy crops. This emphasis on technological innovation showcases the commitment of major market players to stay at the forefront of advancements in the biofertilizers market.
