US Organic Fertilizers Market (2024-2029)

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The study involved four major activities in estimating the current size of the organic fertilizers market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, peer, and parent markets. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. After that, market breakdown and data triangulation were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.

Secondary Research

This research study involved the extensive use of secondary sources—directories and databases such as Bloomberg Businessweek and Factiva—to identify and collect information useful for a technical, market-oriented, and commercial study of the organic fertilizer market.

In the secondary research process, various sources such as annual reports, press releases & investor presentations of companies, white papers, certified publications, articles from recognized authors, gold & silver standard websites, directories, and databases were referred to identify and collect information. This research study involved the extensive use of secondary sources—directories and databases such as Bloomberg Businessweek and Factiva—to identify and collect information useful for a technical, market-oriented, and commercial study of the organic fertilizers market.

Secondary research was mainly used to obtain key information about the industry’s supply chain, the total pool of key players, and market classification and segmentation as per the industry trends to the bottom-most level, regional markets, and key developments from both market- and technology-oriented perspectives.

Primary Research

Extensive primary research was conducted after obtaining information regarding the organic fertilizers market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews were conducted with market experts from both the demand and supply sides across major countries of North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and South America. Primary data was collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews. The primary sources from the supply side included various industry experts, such as Chief X Officers (CXOs), Vice Presidents (VPs), Directors from business development, marketing, research, and development teams, and related key executives from distributors and key opinion leaders. Primary interviews were conducted to gather insights such as market statistics, data on revenue collected from the products and services, market breakdowns, market size estimations, market forecasting, and data triangulation. Primary research also helped in understanding the various trends related to crop type, source, form, and region.

Data Triangulation

After arriving at the overall market size from the estimation process explained above, the total market was split into several segments and subsegments. Data triangulation and market breakdown procedures were employed, wherever applicable, to estimate the overall organic fertilizers market and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and subsegments. The data was triangulated by studying various factors and trends from the demand and supply sides. The market size was also validated using both the top-down and bottom-up approaches.

Market Definition

According to the definition given by the International Fertilizer Industry Association (IFA), “fertilizers are any solid, liquid or gaseous substances containing one or more plant nutrients, which are either applied to the soil, directly on the plant (foliage) or added to aqueous solutions (fertigation), in order to maintain soil fertility, improve crop development, yield and crop quality.” Organic fertilizers refer to categories of fertilizers that are produced from naturally derived components and do not include synthetic chemicals or materials in their preparation.

For this study, the global organic fertilizers market is defined as the market for commercially produced, naturally derived fertilizers that are certified “organic” by credible, relevant, and respective regulatory authorities pertaining to their jurisdiction, across the globe.
