Global Azotobacter Market - 2023-2030

Global Azotobacter Market - 2023-2030

Global Azotobacter Market reached US$ 491.21 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 865.68 million by 2030, growing with a CAGR of 7.34% during the forecast period 2023-2030.

The global azotobacter market has witnessed significant growth and transformations over the years, As consumers, farmers, and agri-businesses are more willing to utilize azotobacter as they help fix nitrogen in the soil which enhances soil fertility, increase crop yields and stimulate plant growth. Azotobacter can also help in reducing the need for synthetic nitrogen fertilizers, which can lead to soil degradation and environmental pollution.

Furthermore, the governments of different countries had started taking initiatives by knowing the demand for organic fertilizers in agriculture sectors. For instance, in August 2023, the government of Meghalaya started the first biofertilizer unit in Kyiem village. The aim is to promote organic farming practices. Hence, these initiatives and increased organic farming can help in the increase in demand for azotobacter fertilizers.

Dynamics

Increase in Demand for Organic Farming

The demand for organic farming is increasing as consumers are becoming more conscious about the pesticidal residues and the adverse health effects caused by them, this has raised the demand for azotobacter biofertilizers as they enhance soil fertility, and improves the nutrient availability to the crops which in terms helps in reducing the relying on synthetic chemicals Hence, an increase in demand for organic farming leads to an increase in the adoption of azotobacter.

Furthermore, the large organic farming practices help increase the usage of azotobacter. For instance, according to the National Centers for Organic and Natural Farming, the FiBL survey 2021 India holds 30% of total organic producers in the world having 2.30 million ha. Total organic cultivation area with 15, 99,010 Indian organic farmers. Hence the increase in organic practices led to driving the azotobacter market.

Increase in Demand for Soil Health

Farmers are adopting the azotobacter biofertilizer compared to other traditional chemical fertilizers as they enhance soil health is a critical aspect of sustainable agriculture, improve nutrient cycling and organic matter decomposition. Azotobacter also results in improved soil health and long-term sustainability which helps in increasing the market size.

Furthermore, many manufacturers are focusing to produce high-quality biofertilizers to enhance soil health and to provide a sufficient amount of nutrients to the crop. For instance, UAPL company has produced Sunazoto Bio Fertilizer (Azotobacter)(Carrier & Liquid), which can provide growth-promoting substances like IAA, GA, Cytokinins and Vitamins which have beneficial effects on crop Azosun growth. This product can help in increasing the yield by up to 20-30%. Hence, the usage of these products can help in driving the market.

Lack of Awareness about Biofertilizers

Some farmers are not familiar with biofertilizers and might not fully understand their benefits and how they differ from conventional fertilizers. Without sufficient knowledge about the benefits of Azotobacter-based biofertilizers, farmers may opt for other traditional fertilizers which can reduce the market growth.

Furthermore, due to less knowledge about biofertilizers, many farmers are not being aware of government policies and subsidies regarding. For instance, the government of India Under the National Project on Management of Soil Health and Fertility NPMSHF the subsidy for farmers and other applicants to encourage the promotion of organic fertilizer which is up to Rs. 500/- per hectare. Due to less awareness about government policies and biofertilizers it can hamper the market growth.

Segment Analysis

The global Azotobacter market is segmented based on crop, product, form, type, distribution channel, application and region.

Increase in Demand for Effective Biofertilizers

The nitrogen-fixing segment holds the largest share of the global Aztobacter market. These biofertilizers play a crucial role in enhancing soil fertility and improving nutrient availability. Also promoting sustainable agriculture and organic farming. It helps reduced dependency on synthetic nitrogen, hence these factors help in increasing the adoption of azotobacter.

Furthermore, many key players are producing efficient, high-quality products in order to help farmers to increase their crop productivity. For instance, Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemical Limited a bio-fertilizer company produced a Liquid consortia (NPK) biofertilizer, it consists of three microorganisms such as azotobacter, bacillus coagulans and bacillus mucilaginous which enhances nitrogen fixing, phosphate solubilizing and potash mobilizing in the soil which helps in increase the crop productivity. Hence, it leads to an increase in the adoption of azotobacter in the agriculture sector.

Geographical Penetration

Increase in Government Initiatives and Presence of Vast Agriculture Land

The Asia-Pacific azotobacter market has witnessed significant growth and popularity covering maximum share in 2022. Local farmers are more willing to adopt azotobacter fertilizers as they provide numerous benefits to the crop such as it enhances soil fertility, improving the crop yield, and some others.

Furthermore, the government is taking some initiatives and policies to promote sustainable agriculture and reduce the use of chemical fertilizers may boost the demand for biofertilizers. For instance, in April 2023, the Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Cooperation launched “IIFCO Nano DAP” a phosphate-based fertilizer, and on March 2023, the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare approved the IIFCO Nano DAP. Hence, these initiatives can help increase the adoption rate of azotobacter fertilizer.

Additionally, Furthermore, the presence of large agricultural land increases the usage of fogging machinery in the agriculture sector for efficient pest management. For instance, according to the Department of Agriculture Fisheries and Forestry report of 2023, the total agriculture land use in Australia is 55% which is 427 million hectares. Hence larger agricultural practices can help in driving the market.

Competitive Landscape

The major global players in the market include Green Vision Life Sciences, Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals Ltd, T.Stanes and Company Limited, Ezzy Bioscience Pvt. Ltd, Phms Technocare Pvt Ltd., SOM Phytopharma India Ltd, Unisun Agro Pvt. Ltd., Lallemand Inc, Kiwa Bio-Tech Products Group Corp., and Novozymes.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic affected almost every industry, and the long-term impacts are projected in the growth of various end-user industries during the forecast period. COVID-19 affects manufacturing units, demand for products, purchasing patterns, and supply chains. COVID-19 causes a decline in the global Azotobacter market.

Russia-Ukraine War Impact Analysis

The ongoing conflict between the countries had bought a disruption in the country's economy. For instance, according to data from the industry association Fertilizers Europe, Russia, and Belarus provide as much as 60% of the EU’s fertilizer supply. This has led to disruption in the supply chain of biofertilizers this had shown a negative impact on the global azotobacter market.
