Biofertilizers Market Dynamics

Better soil quality, Higher yields and More profits

With the increase in demand for food products due to the rise in the global population, there has been growth in the use of chemical fertilizers. This high usage has negatively impacted soil fertility and has led to an increase in soil leaching and acidification. Furthermore, chemical fertilizers seep through the soil, groundwater, and other water sources. It leads to contamination, which can further create hypoxic water environments termed “dead zone” by industry experts. When fertilizers enter the water environment, they help build the organic content of water and encourage the growth of plankton and other aquatic plants. This growth of plankton can deprive the dissolved oxygen content in water.

In addition, when they die, the decomposition process decimates the oxygen level in the water, which fish and other aquatic animals require to survive. This factor upsets not only the aquatic ecosystem but also the fishing industry. These hazards associated with chemical fertilizers present a profitable opportunity for manufacturers in the biofertilizers market.

Challenges to beat: Resistance to adoption, Infrastructure, Supply Chain

The lack of basic infrastructure is a major challenge in developing biofertilizers in many countries, particularly in the Sub-Saharan region. The lack of market information and storage facilities and limited business skills and knowledge are some of the major challenges faced by the agricultural sector in this region. Similarly, the developing countries in the Asia Pacific region are facing problems in the market growth of biofertilizers due to the lack of basic infrastructure.

According to a study conducted by the Consumer Unity and Trust Society in 2015, the fear of a decline in production among farmers and the unavailability of organic inputs in the market restricts the growth of the biofertilizers market. It creates a hurdle for farmers to switch from conventional to organic farming. Furthermore, the connection of farmers with domestic and global supply chain networks is underdeveloped. Due to these factors, the small and mid-sized farmers located in hilly regions and tribal belts are finding it extremely difficult to access the biofertilizers market

Opportunities: Increase in the production and yield of crops

According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the increase in the area for coarse grains is projected to be low by 2023. Still, the crops will account for major growth in terms of yield. Significant growth in yield is expected in crops such as wheat, oilseeds, and sugarcane, while the growth in the area is projected to be witnessed for crops such as oilseeds, cotton, and sugarcane.

The key benefit of biofertilizers is their ability to aid soil health, unlike traditional bulk fertilizers, which, although containing naturally found minerals, such as phosphorus and nitrogen, may overload the soil ecosystem, leading to a chemical imbalance and toxicity. An increase in the production of crops, such as oilseed crops and sugarcane, is projected due to the growing application industries such as food, feed, and fuel.

According to the OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2020-2029, the global soybean oilseed production is projected to account for 406 metric tons in 2029. The growing demand for protein meals, particularly in China, has been a key driver that encouraged the expansion of global oilseed production. Companies are developing strategies to recover losses due to the movement restrictions imposed by governments during the COVID-19 pandemic and are planning to ensure the supply of liquid fertilizers before certain cash crops sowing season. It can benefit farmers and improve their economic condition if the government provides some relaxation measures.

Challenges: Supply of counterfeit and less-effective products

The supply of counterfeit biofertilizers is a major issue in the industry, as it creates a negative image of the final product among farmers and inhibits 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 biofertilizers due to similar physical characteristics and identical chemical properties. Poor microbial load, contaminated products, or improper strains are used to imitate a product. 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 is again affecting the sales of the products, which is a major 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 materials by certain manufacturers can adversely affect the credibility of biofertilizers. Some local companies are also selling organic manure as biofertilizers. Spurious biofertilizer manufacturers use these activities to their advantage due to the lack of knowledge and training among local farmers, which could negatively impact the brand image of global manufacturers.

Increase in adoption of zinc and sulfur solubilizers among crop growers

Zinc is considered one of the essential micronutrients required for optimum plant growth. Several strains of zinc solubilizing microorganisms, such as Pseudomonas spp., Rhizobium spp., Bacillus aryabhattai, Thiobacillus thioxidans, and Azospirillum spp., have been applied in the production of biofertilizers. Zinc solubilizing biofertilizers convert insoluble zinc into soluble and assimilable forms, reducing zinc supplements' application. It is reported to positively impact plant biomass and increase plant physiology, chlorophyll, and yield compared to uninoculated plants.

Sulfur solubilizing is a process that helps plants in absorbing sulfur for better crop productivity. In the sulfur solubilizing process, the bacteria convert non-available sulfur and sulfur-related compounds effectively into assimilable forms of sulfur salts through oxidation. Many sugarcane producers are using zinc & sulfur solubilizers to obtain better productivity and crop sugar content. As a result, the other segment is projected to grow in the Asia Pacific during the forecast period. In developed regions, such as North America, high technological developments and awareness in research for applications of zinc, sulfur, and silica solubilizing biofertilizers are gradually projected to drive market growth.

Increase in playgrounds to influence the growth of turfs

The turf & ornamentals, plantation crops, fiber crops, and silage & forage segment has witnessed high growth in recent years due to the rise in the adoption of biofertilizers among plantation and turf crop growers. Developed regions, such as the Americas and Europe, engage in turf plantation due to the increase in golf courts, lawns, landscapes, and other playground areas. Therefore, to maintain the turf or landscape, these countries are opting for biological inputs, such as biofertilizers, to make the turf look attractive with regular patterns

The increase in the adoption of plantation crops, such as sugarcane, in countries including India, Brazil, and China, is projected to encourage the application of biofertilizers in other crops. Government subsidies, regulations, and awareness programs are key factors encouraging biofertilizer use in this segment.

The foliar treatment provides faster results for nutritional deficiencies

Foliar treatment is the application of biofertilizers through spray equipment to plant foliage. Foliar application is an effective method of catering to nutritional deficiencies and the inability to draw essential nutrients from the soil. The foliar application also helps avoid leaching and provides faster results than other application modes. Thus, the foliar application of liquid fertilizers on crops such as corn and soybean has proved to help overcome limitations in crop nutrient uptake and increase the yields and efficiency of the nutrients used. The sett treatment method is suitable for treating setts of sugarcane, cut pieces of potato, and the base of banana suckers. Seedling treatment is suitable for crops such as paddy, tobacco, tomato, chili, onion, cabbage, and cauliflower. The root dipping method is used for flowers & ornamental plants, such as roses, jasmine, marigold, and dahlia.

Technologically advanced equipment is used for conducting foliar treatment, root dipping, and seedling root treatment in North America and Europe. It is a major factor driving the market growth during the forecast period.

Factors including high product quality and an increase in the adoption of advanced irrigation techniques are projected to propel the demand for liquid fertilizers

The liquid segment is projected to record a higher growth rate in the next six years due to the increase in acceptance among farmers for their higher shelf life. The long shelf life allows the farmers to purchase them in bulk quantities at a lower rate and store them for one or two years, thus increasing the profit margin. It also does not cause any health hazards to workers and is easy to transport. Further, it can also be used in drip irrigation and as a component of organic farming. With the invention of the latest technologies in agriculture, liquid biofertilizers find potential applications in modern agriculture, such as soilless farming systems, including hydroponics and fertigation.
