About this market
The increasing world population puts considerable pressure on land and various other natural resources. The accelerated rate of crop production leads to rapid loss of plant nutrients, thereby impacting nutrient content in crops. Thus, most farmers resort to the use of various chemical and inorganic fertilizers to help replenish this loss of nutrients. However, excessive use of chemical fertilizers has been found to decelerate the biological activities in the soil, leading to impaired soil quality. As a result, farmers are gradually moving toward a more sustainable farming option, that is, organic farming. The organic farming industry is growing with the increasing awareness about health hazards associated with the use of chemicals in food products. Government initiatives also support organic farming. Such initiatives will encourage farmers to adopt practices involved in organic farming such as using bio-fertilizers. analysts have predicted that the bio-fertilizers market will register a CAGR of almost 14% by 2023.
Market Overview
Increasing popularity of integrated plant nutrient management
There has been a constant focus on enhancing the economic, social, and environmental sustainability in the agricultural sector, which promotes the use of non-chemical fertilizers such bio-fertilizers. The growing adoption of IPNM programs at farm level includes the use of farmyard manures, natural and mineral fertilizers and various other agronomic, vegetative and structural measures designed to conserve both water and soil.
Decreasing availability of arable land
Factors such as rising industrialization, urbanization, energy demand, and population growth lead to the decline of arable land. Arable lands are also wasted due to inappropriate agricultural practices, which lead to loss of production yield. The declining levels of arable land reduce the scope of cultivation, subsequently hindering the growth of the global bio-fertilizers market.
