Organic fertilizers are organically produced carbon-based fertilizers. Fertilizers are substances that can be added to the soil or applied to plants to provide nutrients that will aid in their growth. Common organic fertilizers include mineral supplies, animal waste, including by-products of the meat industry, slurry, manure, and guano, as well as plant-based fertilizers like compost and bios liners. Other biotic, non-chemical fertilizer methods adhere to the Organic Agriculture Principles, which determine whether a fertilizer can be used for commercial organic agriculture. Peat, agricultural plant wastes, animal wastes, and processed sewage sludge are some of the organic fertilizers. Turf or peat is a material made of partially degraded plant matter.

Organic fertilizers are safer for environment, animals, and soil that comes into contact with them because they break down quickly and have no negative effects on the surface or groundwater. These fertilizers have a long shelf life, improve soil structure, and increase soil's ability to retain nutrients and water. They are preferred for creating agricultural output that is free of residues since they are non-toxic, slow-releasing fertilizers that do not leave any residues in the food.

As a result, the Organic Fertilizer Market is expected to experience significant growth over the forecast period due to factors including the growing need to boost agricultural production and increased awareness of the detrimental effects of chemical inputs and the positive effects of organic fertilizers.

Historical v/s Forecast Market Outlook for Organic Fertilizer Market

Over the Historical Assessment period 2017 – 2021, robust changes in the global Organic Fertilizer market have been observed. The agriculture sector's fertilizers industry saw a major slowdown in sales during the first quarter of 2020 as a result of a disruption in logistics and transportation. In the market for fertilizers, there have been delays along the whole value chain, from the supply of raw materials to manufacturing, packaging, and distribution.

The closure of industrial plants in China and restrictions on the import and export of organic fertilizers and raw materials, primarily animal waste to and from China's restricted zones, affected the supply chain. The complete shutdown of the transportation and logistics industry and decreased output in some countries as a result of the lockdowns hurt the sales and market revenue of organic fertilizers in 2020 and 2021.

It is expected that the market for Organic fertilizers would expand at a faster rate than it did during the historical period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the Organic Fertilizer market from 2017 to 2021 was recorded to be 5.7%, while projections for the period from 2022 to 2032 indicate a CAGR of 6.3% for the market. Asia-Pacific is generating significant income streams in the organic fertilizer sector. This can only be explained by an increase in organic farming in many emerging economies. Since the market for organic fertilizer in North America is now expanding, future growth prospects look positive. As a result, sales of certified organic products - including organic fertilizers - have grown.

Market Dynamics

Growing Environmental Safety Awareness Promotes Market Growth for Organic Fertilizers.

More agricultural production is necessary to supply the rising demand for food as a result of the world population's rapid growth. Chemical fertilizers have long been used as a standard practice to boost agricultural output. However, increasing the use of agrochemicals has been under consideration for a time due to its negative effects on soil quality, plant physiology, people, and animals. Overuse of chemical fertilizers damages the land and contaminates the water (soil erosion). Their broad use has a negative effect on the ecosystem as well since fertilizer wastes can contaminate the soil, surface, or groundwater, or be released into the atmosphere through vitalization.

Organic fertilizers are less harmful to life since they decompose quickly without affecting the surface or groundwater. These fertilizers improve soil structure, have a long shelf life, and increase the soil's ability to retain nutrients and water. They are preferred for creating agricultural output that is free of residues since they are non-toxic, slow-releasing fertilizers that do not leave any residues in the food. Therefore, factors like the growing desire to boost agricultural output and awareness of the harmful consequences of chemical inputs and the favorable effects of organic fertilizers are driving up demand for organic fertilizers.

Fluctuations in the prices of organic fertilizers are likely to affect market growth.

A significant aspect that is anticipated to hinder demand for organic fertilizers is their high cost of manufacturing. Few organic fertilizers can take longer to turn the lawn green and may cause plant deficiencies in the months following the initial application of fertilizer. Furthermore, the quantity of nutrients included in organic fertilizer is usually ambiguous. Organic fertilizers' use is limited since they degrade nutrients more slowly than synthetic fertilizers do, and some of them have unpleasant scents that prevent them from being used in indoor gardens. The aforementioned limitations are preventing market expansion.

Category-wise Insights

Which is the leading segment by the form in the Organic Fertilizer market?

In terms of form, dry type organic fertilizers hold considerable market share. The growing use of dry organic fertilizers for lawn and garden applications, their long-lasting effects, their high efficacy in all climatic situations, and the abundant and simple supply of raw materials are all factors that contribute to prominence of this type. Additionally, dry organic fertilizers can be made up of a variety of different chemicals or just one substance, such as rock phosphate. Although these fertilizers are less expensive than those in liquid form, they are still needed in greater amounts because the crops do not entirely absorb them.

Most dry organic fertilizers offer a wide range of nutrients, although only a few contain a balanced combination of NPK and micronutrients. Easy application and usage make these type a preferred choice for regular use by farmers.
