Organic Fertilizers Market Report 2024

The organic fertilizers market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $9.46 billion in 2023 to $10.21 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The increase observed in the historical period can be linked to several factors, rising demand for organic food, supportive regulations for organic farming, growing awareness of environmental sustainability, heightened consumer knowledge of health benefits, and a surge in organic food sales.

The organic fertilizers market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.01 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period is driven by the expansion of organic farming, enhanced government incentives and subsidies for organic practices, a growing population, and increased agricultural output. Key trends expected during this period include tailored organic fertilizer formulations, ongoing innovations in using organic waste streams, the integration of digital farming technologies, vertical and urban agriculture, and the adoption of regenerative agriculture practices.

The increasing interest in organic food is anticipated to drive the growth of the organic fertilizer market in the future. Organic food is produced through farming methods that prioritize natural substances and processes. This growing demand for organic products is fueled by heightened consumer awareness of health benefits, environmental sustainability, and ethical practices, along with greater availability and accessibility of organic items. Organic fertilizers contribute to soil health and plant growth without synthetic chemicals, thus supporting the sustainable production of nutrient-rich organic food. For example, in June 2022, the Organic Trade Association (OTA) reported that in 2021, organic fruits and vegetables made up 15% of the total market, generating over $21 billion in revenue approximately a 4.5% increase from 2020. This surge in organic food sales is consequently boosting the organic fertilizer market.

Key players in the organic fertilizers sector are concentrating on creating innovative products, such as bio-enhanced fertilizers, to sustainably improve soil health and increase crop yields. Bio-enhanced fertilizers are organic products enriched with beneficial microorganisms that enhance nutrient availability and soil health. For instance, in August 2023, Bionema Group Limited, a UK-based biotechnology firm, introduced a new line of four biofertilizers in the UK. These products use living microbes to enhance nutrient availability in the soil, aiming to restore soil health and promote sustainable farming by reducing dependence on synthetic fertilizers. These biofertilizers are designed to improve nutrient uptake and overall plant growth, fostering more resilient farming practices. This launch highlights Bionema's dedication to offering eco-friendly solutions for crop protection and plant health management, in response to the rising demand for sustainable agricultural methods.
