Biofertilizers Market Growth Trends

According to a recent report by Grand View Research, Inc., the global biofertilizers market is expected to reach a value of USD 2.83 billion by 2030, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.8% from 2025 to 2030. This anticipated growth is largely attributed to the rising global demand for organically produced food products, particularly in emerging economies where improving economic stability is empowering consumers to make more health-conscious and sustainable food choices.

Organic food products are cultivated and produced without the use of synthetic chemicals, pesticides, or genetically modified organisms. These products typically include organically raised meat and dairy, fruits and vegetables grown without synthetic fertilizers, and natural beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. A global trend toward healthier eating habits—combined with rising disposable incomes, especially in developing nations across the Asia Pacific region (notably Indonesia, Japan, India, and Thailand)—is driving the growing preference for organic food and beverages. As this demand escalates, it is fueling the increased use of biofertilizers as a critical component in organic farming systems.

The growth of organic farming practices is further reinforced by data from the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture, which reports a significant increase in the number of organic farmers globally since 2000. This surge is the result of ongoing government support and awareness campaigns led by agricultural and environmental authorities worldwide. These programs aim to educate farmers on the benefits of organic and sustainable farming, offering incentives and subsidies to encourage the adoption of environmentally responsible practices. Notably, in 2017 and 2018, the U.S. led the global market for organic food retail sales, followed by Germany, France, China, and Italy. This widespread acceptance of organic farming techniques and consumer demand for clean-label food products is expected to remain a key growth driver for the biofertilizers industry over the coming years.

Another pivotal factor propelling the biofertilizers market is the growing emphasis on environmental sustainability. This includes global initiatives to reduce dependence on petroleum-based chemical fertilizers and transition to bio-based alternatives that offer lower environmental impact. The conventional production of chemical fertilizers often results in high greenhouse gas emissions, primarily from the use of fossil fuels. In contrast, biofertilizers produce significantly lower carbon emissions, helping to mitigate the overall carbon footprint of agricultural activities. This ecological advantage is gaining considerable support from regulatory bodies and environmental organizations, particularly in developed regions such as North America and Europe, where sustainability standards are increasingly stringent and closely monitored.

Biofertilizers Market Report Highlights

• North America led the global market in 2024, accounting for the largest revenue share of 32%. The region is projected to expand at a volumetric growth rate of 13.7% between 2025 and 2030, driven by a strong commitment to sustainable agriculture, government-backed organic programs, and widespread adoption of eco-friendly farming solutions.
• Nitrogen-fixing biofertilizers dominated the market with a revenue share of 71.3% in 2024. This dominance is primarily due to high demand from agricultural communities across North America and Europe, where farmers are increasingly utilizing these products to enhance crop yields—especially for cereal crops like wheat, corn, and rice—without relying on synthetic nitrogen inputs.
• Among different crop categories, the cereals and grains segment emerged as the largest application segment in 2024, contributing 38.8% of total market revenue. This was largely due to the strong global demand for wheat and other grains, particularly from Asian and Latin American nations such as Thailand, Singapore, India, Brazil, and Argentina, where cereals are dietary staples and agricultural priorities.
