Organic Fertilizer Market Trends



  • Increasing Demand for Organic Food


As consumers become more aware of the health benefits of organic food, the demand for organic products is increasing. This, in turn, is driving the demand for organic fertilizers as farmers aim to produce high-quality organic crops. The global population is growing, and with it, the demand for food is also increasing. As a result, farmers are looking for ways to increase crop yields, which is driving the demand for organic fertilizers. The rising popularity of organic products and consumption has forced the expansion of organic farming across the globe. Subsequently, the market for biological organic fertilizers has grown dramatically in response to the recent surge in interest in regenerative agriculture, organic farming, and soil health. Natural organic fertilizers contain specific levels of microorganisms (such as nitrogen-fixing bacteria); organic fertilizers similarly contain microorganisms and typically come from animals and plants, such as livestock manure and crop residues, which are highly suitable for Organic Farming.


According to the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture, the area under organic farming increased by 4.1% in 2020. In addition, the regional statistics of both developed and developing countries have depicted the growth of organic agriculture in the country. For instance, according to the statistics by the government of India, the area under the organic farming certification process in India has almost doubled in 2021-2022, indicating the increasing initiatives and adoption of organic farming, with the full production accounting for 20,540.63 metric tons. Thus, owing to the rising organic area under cultivation and the increasing demand for good-quality crops, cultivators are anticipated to use biological organic fertilizers instead of excessive synthetic fertilizers, driving the market. The trend of home gardening is increasing as people become more interested in growing their own food. Organic fertilizers are becoming more popular among home gardeners as they provide a natural and safe way to grow plants.


Organic Fertilizer Market Segment Insights


Organic Fertilizer Product Type Insights


The Organic Fertilizer Market segmentation is based on the product type, such as Composts, manures, and others. The composts segment emerged as a major segment in the Organic Fertilizer Market in 2022. Composts are rich in essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, as well as other micronutrients. They also improve soil structure, promote healthy root growth, and increase water retention in the soil. Additionally, compost can act as a natural pest repellent, helping to reduce the need for chemical pesticides. There are several different types of composts, including hot compost, cold compost, and vermicompost. Hot composts are made by actively managing the decomposition process to create high temperatures, which helps to kill pathogens and weed seeds. Cold composts are made by simply piling organic materials and allowing them to decompose naturally over time. Vermicompost is made by adding worms to the organic materials, which helps to speed up the decomposition process and increase the nutrient content of the compost. Green manure is the largest segment of organic fertilizers in the country. The green manure approach to crop production aids in improving economic viability while reducing the environmental impacts of agriculture. This is augmenting the growth of the market in the long term.


Organic Fertilizer Form Insights


The Organic Fertilizer Market is also studied based on Form, dry, and liquid further splits. Among these segments, the dry segment held a prominent market value of 67% in 2022 and is likely to register a CAGR of 11.04% in the upcoming years. The dry segment with estimated to grow with a CAGR of 11.23% till the forecast period.

Recent News :

In February 2024, SureSource Agronomy is introducing a series of crop nutrient solutions made from the waste products of crickets, including their dung, exoskeletons, and wasted feed components. The insects are cultivated in the advanced Aspire insect-farming facility located in London, and the waste product they produce is referred to as frass. Cricket frass fertilizer provides growers with a sustainable fertilizer alternative that does not compromise on productivity.


On February 20, the company based in Petrolia declared that it had obtained regulatory certification from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency for its pelleted frass product, which is sold under the name Kickin' Frass. SureSource was one of the ten companies that received $200,000 in provincial financing in April 2023.

The funding was provided by Bioenterprise Canada through its Fertilizer Accelerating Solutions and Technology Challenge. Program candidates are required to utilize the funds to facilitate the transfer of alternative fertilizer solutions from the research and validation stages to successful commercialization and market entry. SureSource relocated its funds to Vineland. The recent collaboration between SureSource, Aspire, and Vineland resulted in multiple crop trials conducted in 2023. The findings of this research have been featured in Vineland's newly published 2023-24 Innovation Report.
