North American countries have imposed bans on the usage of harmful chemicals & fertilizers in agriculture due to its adverse effects on the ecology. This, in turn, has created a significant market potential for biofertilizers in the region. Also, increasing acceptance of organic foods among consumers is opening doors for various international players. Rapid growth in organic agriculture and rising demand for organic food in the continent has attributed to the growth of biofertilizer market. As per USDA and DOE, huge availability of biomass feedstock is also one of the drivers for the market.
Market dynamics
Growth in the organic food industry
Consumers, nowadays, are becoming highly concerned about food safety issues, the rising residue levels in food, and environmental issues, due to the rising concerns about their health. This rise in awareness has induced them to prefer chemical-free food products. As a result, major supermarket chains such as Wal-Mart and Cosco are increasing their product offerings of organic foods. The restaurant industry in many developed countries is also offering organic food menus to serve health-conscious consumers. The growth in the organic food industry is triggering the demand for biofertilizers and organic manures, as these are pre-requisites of organic farming. These factors have increased organic retail sales in many countries, such as the US, Germany, China, Switzerland, and Denmark.
According to the United States Organic Food Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2018, western US drives the organic food market revenue due to the growing domestic production and increasing awareness. As a result of this growth of the retail organic food industry, the market for biofertilizers is growing at a global level.
As per the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, the US organic sales increased to USD 35 billion in 2014 from USD 28.4 billion in 2012. Among these, fresh fruits and vegetables had been the top-selling categories of organically grown food.
Environmental and technological constraints
Biofertilizer products have a limited shelf-life and run a high risk of contamination. The microorganisms used as biofertilizers become non-viable when exposed to high temperature. Therefore, it is very important to store them in a cool and dry place. The major problem in the agricultural inoculation technology is the survival of microorganisms during storage; other challenges revolve around several parameters such as culture medium, physiological state of the microorganisms when harvested, dehydration process, rate of drying, temperature maintenance during storage, and water activity of inoculants. These challenges influence the shelf-life of microbes.
The market also has less availability of research & development and testing labs, which is hindering the growth of the biofertilizers market. There is also a need for a quality management system to provide better microbial products to farmers. The strict quality control management is very crucial and must be executed appropriately. The lack of skilled laborers is another factor that is affecting the market growth of biofertilizers. Appropriate training modules for laboratory analysts are unavailable for field level officers and fertilizer inspectors. These modules are necessary to design and implement quality control systems for an efficient application of biofertilizers.
New target markets: Asia Pacific and Africa
The Asia Pacific and African regions are the largest consumers of fertilizers. The increasing rate of population, especially in Asia, has resulted in the increasing demand for food, which would, in turn, lead to the increased consumption of fertilizers. However, the major concerns in this region are pollution and contamination of soil as well as their harmful effects on human beings. To combat the harmful effects of chemical fertilizers, governments in these regions are emphasizing on the use of environmental-friendly fertilizers, such as biofertilizers and organic manure.
Key players in the agricultural sector have started investing in biotechnology and software technologies in emerging markets of the Asia Pacific region. For instance, in April 2019, Kiwa Biotech entered into an agreement with Yu Tian Weather Technology Co., Ltd (China). This agreement would focus on resource sharing and cooperation for market development, product upgrades, and service enhancements, based on the technology, products, and services of the two companies.
Government bodies have helped in increasing awareness among farmers about the advantages of biofertilizer applications. However, the Asia Pacific and Latin American regions have a large number of small-scale manufacturers with limited distributional coverage. The absence of large producers in the industry and low entry barriers will provide an early bird advantage.
According to a study conducted by the FAO, the Asia Pacific region is the largest consumer of fertilizers in the world. It amounts to 60% of the global fertilizer nutrient consumption, the bulk of which is in the East and South Asia. According to the Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems, the growing demand for food in the region leaves very limited time for the land to rejuvenate, typically when devoted to arable farming. Southeast Asia is dominated by poor, small, and marginal farmers with limited options, which include raising food crops in quick succession. Hence, the depletion of soil fertility is expected to accelerate further in the region. To combat the harmful effects of chemical fertilizers, governments in the region are emphasizing on the usage of safer agricultural products such as biofertilizers and organic manures.
Over the last few decades, Africa has witnessed vigorous conventional farming, which has made use of synthetic fertilizers to provide essential plant nutrients to the soil. However, the overuse of these fertilizers has destroyed the soil quality and the essential nutrients. This factor is creating the need for biofertilizers in the region. To improve the quality of soil, there is an extremely high need to find alternative and productive agricultural methods.
The University of Nairobi has been researching biofertilizers in Kenya within the Microbial Resources Centre Network (MIRCEN) project. As a result, it had developed a marketable biofertilizer known as BIOFIX. Although Kenya, at present, is in its initial stages of development, with the increasing research & development and ongoing projects, it would be a growing market for companies in the next few years. On the other hand, in Egypt, biofertilization had been a 50-year-old process; it was used for legume seed inoculation with rhizobia and rice fields with cyanobacteria and Azospirilla. However, the lack of research has made the market stagnant in the last few decades. Nevertheless, with the increasing focus on testing and quality along with the adoption of market expansion strategies of global companies, the biofertilizers market in Egypt is expected to be augmented by both the public and private sectors during the forecast period.
Supply of counterfeit and less effective products
The supply of counterfeit biofertilizers is a major issue in the industry, as it is creating a negative image of the final products among farmers and hindering market growth. The cost of production of spurious products is extremely low, and it has been impossible for farmers to differentiate spurious biofertilizers from the original ones due to similar physical characteristics and identical chemical properties. To imitate a product, poor microbial load, contaminated products, or improper strains are used. Counterfeit products are being sold in Asian countries due to the presence of a highly fragmented market with unorganized players.
Furthermore, the supply of less-effective products, which is again affecting the sales of the products, is another concern that needs to be addressed. The effectiveness of biofertilizers depends on the production process of biofertilizers and their storage. The supply of low standard material by certain manufacturers can adversely affect the credibility of biofertilizers. Some local companies are also selling organic manure as biofertilizers. Spurious manufacturers use these activities to their advantage due to the lack of knowledge and training among local farmers, which is hampering the image of branded products of global manufacturers.
