Soil degradation, caused by factors such as the overuse of chemical fertilisers, deforestation, pollution, and unsustainable farming practices, threatens the long-term health of the ecosystem and food security. The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) estimates that 90% of all soils globally will be degraded by 2050. Amid growing concerns regarding soil degradation and fertility loss, the demand for biofertilisers to break down organic matter, improve soil health, fertility, and resilience, and enhance nutrient availability is increasing.
Biofertilisers are an integral part of organic farming to promote soil health and fertility without the use of synthetic chemicals. As organic farming continues to grow, the demand for biofertilisers to support soil fertility, maintain optimal health of organic crops, and improve crop yield is increasing. For instance, in the European Union, organic farming covered 16.9 million hectares of agricultural land, comprising 10.5 % of total EU agricultural land.
Growing awareness regarding the negative effects of chemical fertilisers and the rising focus on sustainability are creating lucrative biofertilisers market opportunities. As of 2021, the estimated demand for biofertilisers in India was 18,500 tonnes per year. This high demand is prompting key players to enhance biofertiliser manufacturing, distribution, and innovation and develop new strains and formulations to cater to diverse soil conditions and crop needs.

Governments globally are introducing various initiatives to enhance the affordability of biofertilisers for farmers and lower production costs of biofertiliser production. For instance, the Indian government, through schemes like Paramparagat Krishi Vikash Yojana (PKVY) and Mission Organic Value Chain Development for North Eastern Region (MOVCDNER), is encouraging the use of biofertilisers as an economical and eco-friendly source of nutrients.

There is a rise in the inclination towards biofertilisers due to increased awareness of adverse environmental consequences, like soil degradation and emissions, caused due to the use of chemical fertilisers. In addition, the growing demand for organic fruit and vegetables, due to increasing consumer health consciousness, is also providing a boost to the biofertilisers market expansion. In 2022, the global sales of organic food and drink reached around EUR 135 billion, as per the FAO of the UN.
The growing integration of biofertilisers in integrated pest management (IPM) systems is driving the biofertilisers demand growth. Biofertilisers including microorganisms capable of providing natural pest resistance and fixing nutrients are increasingly used in integrated pest management systems to lower the requirement for chemical fertilisers and pesticides.
Rising trend of organic farming; integration of biofertilisers with precision agriculture; product innovations; and technological advancements are favouring the biofertilisers market expansion.
The growing adoption of organic farming practices amid the rising demand for organic produce is driving the use of biofertilisers. As of 2024, organic farming is practised in 188 countries, with over 96 million hectares of agricultural land managed organically by at least 4.5 million farmers. Biofertilisers are critical to organic farming practices as they provide the soil and plants with a healthy growth environment and enhance plant’s resistance against abiotic stressors and pests such as excess water, droughts, and extreme temperature changes.
As precision agriculture uses data and technology to apply inputs like fertilisers, seeds, and water, among others, at variable rates, it enables the strategic application of biofertilisers based on crop needs, soil nutrient levels, and other environmental factors. Precision agriculture also relies on detailed nutrient analysis and soil mapping, hence driving the use of biofertilisers to address specific nutrient deficiencies.
Innovations in microbial science and biotechnology aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of biofertilisers are aiding the market. The development of advanced formulations and delivery systems, such as liquid formulations and encapsulation techniques, aimed at improving the efficiency and stability of biofertilisers is further driving the market.
Key players are increasingly investing in research and development activities to create customised biofertilisers tailored to specific soil conditions and crops. In the forecast period, the development of biofertiliser formulations with enhanced shelf life and stability, coupled with the rising use of genetic engineering to improve the efficiency of microorganisms, is expected to aid the market in the coming years.
As per the European Commission, 60-70% of soil is unhealthy. As healthy soils are the basis for healthy food production and play an integral role in food security, the demand for biofertilisers that enhance the soil microbiome and improve nutrient use efficiency by improving phosphate solubilisation and iron availability in soil is increasing. Moreover, the growing focus on creating a circular economy is prompting key players to develop biofertilisers from residues of fruits and vegetables, enhance soil fertility, and meet the growing demand from consumers seeking nutritious, sustainably grown produce.
The introduction of favourable government initiatives promoting the use of organic farming is boosting the demand for biofertilisers to reduce dependency on chemical fertilisers and improve soil fertility. The growing use of drones, sensors, and other real-time technologies to monitor soil and crops for providing recommendations and decision support systems for biofertiliser applications is further creating lucrative biofertilisers market opportunities.

As per the biofertilisers market analysis, seed treatment is assessed to grow at a CAGR of 14.1% during the forecast period of 2026-2035. Seed treatment biofertilisers promote early plant growth and improve the germination rate, especially in nutrient-deficient soils. As it is easy to apply and requires lower quantities of biofertilisers, seed treatment is more cost-effective than soil treatment.
Meanwhile, soil treatment biofertilisers promote a healthy rhizosphere, enhance the nutrient availability of soil, and replenish essential nutrients and beneficial microorganisms in the soil. Soil treatment requires more extensive application methods and is more labour-intensive than seed treatment.
Key biofertilisers market players are investing in research and development activities to develop new microbial strains and formulations that can enhance nitrogen fixation, biological pest control, and phosphate solubilisation of biofertilisers. They are also attempting to develop multifunctional biofertilisers that offer various benefits, including improved disease resistance, enhanced soil health, and increased plant growth.
