Biofertilizers Market by Type, Microorganism Type, Form, Crop Type, Application

List of Tables

The Biofertilizers Market was valued at USD 5.07 billion in 2023, expected to reach USD 5.60 billion in 2024, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.73%, to USD 10.36 billion by 2030.

Biofertilizers, defined as substances containing living microorganisms which promote plant growth by increasing the availability of essential nutrients, are revolutionizing agriculture by enhancing soil fertility and crop yield sustainably. Their necessity arises from the growing demand for organic agricultural practices and the global need to reduce chemical fertilizer usage, which often degrades soil health. They find applications primarily in crop production, horticulture, and forestry, end-use sectors that benefit significantly from enhanced soil nutrient content and reduced environmental impact. The biofertilizer market is poised for growth, driven by factors such as escalating awareness about sustainable agricultural practices, governmental support for organic farming, and the rising global population necessitating increased food production. Technological advancements in microbial strains and innovative product formulations are also vital growth influencers.
