Organic Fertilizers Market Size

The global organic fertilizers market size was valued at $7.41 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $15.35 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 12.9% during the forecast period.

Organic Fertilizers Market Overview

Organic fertilizers are natural substances derived from plant or animal sources that are used to improve soil fertility and promote plant growth. Unlike synthetic fertilizers, which are chemically manufactured, organic fertilizers are composed of organic matter such as compost, animal manure, bone meal, fish emulsion, and seaweed. These materials contain essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, as well as micronutrients and beneficial microorganisms that nourish plants and enhance soil health. Organic fertilizers release nutrients slowly, providing a steady supply to plants over time and reducing the risk of nutrient leaching and runoff, which can harm the environment. They also help improve soil structure, water retention, and microbial activity, contributing to sustainable agriculture practices and healthier ecosystems. Organic fertilizers are widely used in organic farming and gardening as they support natural processes and minimize the use of synthetic chemicals, promoting ecological balance and long-term soil fertility.

Organic Fertilizers Market Dynamics

• The organic fertilizers market is expected to witness significant growth in the future due to the growing consumer preference for organic food products, increasing awareness about environmental sustainability and organic farming practices, and government initiatives and regulations promoting organic agriculture.
• Additionally, the Rising demand for chemical-free and non-toxic agricultural inputs, advancements in organic fertilizer production technologies, and expansion of distribution channels and availability of organic fertilizers in retail outlets are the prominent factors driving the growth of the organic fertilizers market.
• However, the high cost of organic fertilizers compared to synthetic alternatives, limited availability of organic materials for fertilizer production, and challenges in maintaining consistent nutrient content and quality in organic fertilizers are restraining the market growth.
• On the contrary, the development of innovative organic fertilizer formulations with improved nutrient delivery, adoption of organic farming practices in emerging economies, and collaboration between organic fertilizer manufacturers and agricultural research institutions for product development are creating opportunities for market growth.

By Crop Type, the Cereals and Grains Segment Emerge as the Dominant Segment

The cereals and grains is expected to have a huge demand in the forecast period due to the consumers are increasingly prioritizing health and environmental sustainability, leading to a growing preference for organic products. Cereals and grains are staple food items for many people worldwide, and the use of organic fertilizers ensures that these crops are cultivated without synthetic chemicals or genetically modified organisms (GMOs), meeting the stringent standards of organic certification.

Moreover, organic fertilizers contribute to soil health and biodiversity, promoting long-term sustainability in agriculture. They enhance soil structure, moisture retention, and nutrient levels, which ultimately results in improved crop yields and quality. Additionally, organic farming practices align with the principles of conservation and ecological balance, resonating with consumers who seek environmentally friendly alternatives. As a result, the demand for organic fertilizers in the cereals and grains segment is expected to continue growing as more farmers and consumers recognize the benefits of organic agriculture.

By Geography, Asia Pacific is Projected to Show Strong Presence in the Global Market

Asia Pacific has witnessed increasing awareness among farmers about the advantages of bio-based and organic residue-based fertilizers which is driving the organic fertilizers market in this region. Notably, major agriculture-based countries such as China, India, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam are driving regional demand, with China and India leading market advancements. Moreover, each country within the region has its own set of regulations for fertilizers, including specific requirements for biological and organic variants. For example, Indonesia's Regulation of the MOA No. 1/2019 mandates quality testing by an MOA-approved institution to ensure the quality of fertilizer products in the market. The region's organic farming sector is expanding rapidly, fuelled by growing consumer demand for organic products. Additionally, significant policy developments in select Asian countries are shaping the organic sector.

• According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), India and China lead the Asia-Pacific region in the production of certified organic products. India boasts a substantial presence on the global scale with over 3.6 million hectares of certified organic land, while China follows closely with more than 1.9 million hectares dedicated to organic agriculture.
