Biofertilizers Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2021-2027)

Report Description

Biofertilizers Market was valued at US$ 1.5 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12% over the forecast period (2021-2027). Biofertilizers comprises living microbes, which when applied to seed, plant, and soil, stimulate growth by supplying essential nutrients, such as N, P, and other mineral nutrients. The rise in demand for organic products is booming, due to the increase in conscientious consumers, but also due to rising incomes, along with improved farming practices that make organic yields more robust. This resulted in increased adoption of biofertilizers.  A total of 71.5 million hectares were organically managed at the end of 2018, representing a growth of 2.9 percent or 2 million hectares compared to 2017. Australia has the largest organic agricultural area (35.7 million hectares), followed by Argentina (3.6 million hectares), and China (3.1 million hectares). Due to the large area of organic farmland in Australia, half of the global organic agricultural land is in Oceania (36.0 million hectares). Europe has the second largest area (15.6 million hectares), followed by Latin America (8 million hectares). The organic area increased in all continents compared to 2017.
