Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Increasing awareness regarding environmental safety
Globally, it has become customary tuse chemical fertilizers tincrease agricultural production. Overuse of chemical fertilizers contaminates the soil and the water. Tincrease agricultural production, organic fertilizers are made with natural plant waste and residue, animal manures and excrement, microorganisms, and botanical extracts. Organic fertilizers quickly break down without harming the surface or groundwater, making them less dangerous tlife. These fertilizers enhance soil structure, last a very long time, and have a higher capacity thold water and nutrients. Sthe demand for organic fertilizers is increased by factors like the growing need tincrease agricultural production and awareness of the negative effects of chemical inputs and the positive effects of organic fertilizers.
Restraint:
Lack of knowledge among farmers and less nutrients
In the short term, organic fertilizers are used, but healthy soil has a lower cost-benefit ratio. Apart from a few biofertilizers, organic fertilizers are alsbigger and heavier than chemical fertilizers. In consequence, the total nutrients derived from a unit quantity of organic fertilizers are much lower than those derived from chemical fertilizers. Moreover, farmers in developing and underdeveloped countries face a significant barrier due ttheir ignorance of organic fertilizers.
Opportunity:
Growing demand for organic farming
As environmental concerns such as the overuse of chemical fertilizers and pesticides have left the land arid, many businesses are switching torganic farming and cost-cutting measures in the agricultural sector, which is fueling demand globally. Many companies have shifted tusing plant-based fertilizers as a result of strict regulations on conventional fertilizers and worries that using chemical fertilizers will leave the land barren. India's exports of agricultural goods are anticipated tsurpass US$50 billion in the fiscal year FY22, according tthe Ministry of Commerce. The industry for organic fertilizers will therefore continue tgrow due tthe use of plant-based fertilizers in agriculture.
Threat:
Availability of substitutes
The growth of the market for organic fertilizers will be hampered by the availability of substitute products or potential replacement products like chemical fertilizers or synthetic fertilizers in a particular market segment. Buyers will attempt tnegotiate lower prices while putting a higher emphasis on quality and service. The cost of organic fertilizer equipment will be transparent. The demands and rivalry of rivals will all result in a loss of profit for the equipment supplier of organic fertilizer. Additionally, this fertilizer's high cost has restricted its use in large-scale agricultural production, such as the production of commodity crops. Over the forecast period, this is expected tlimit the market expansion of organic fertilizers.
