Organic Fertilizers and Horticulture Products Market - Forecast(2024 - 2030)
Organic Fertilizers and Horticulture Products Market Overview
Organic Fertilizers and Horticulture Products Market size is forecast to reach $13.2 billion by 2026, after growing at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period 2021-2026. Globally, the increasing usage of organic fertilizers such as animal manure adds nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, and others in numerous horticulture products. With an expanding number of health-conscious consumers seeking improved food quality and safety, the growing health and wellness trend has been establishing a strong basis for organic foods. Thus the demand for organic fertilizers and horticulture products is rising. Furthermore, organic fertilizer encourages increases in heterotrophic bacterial biomass, which boosts secondary productivity and mineralizes nutrients to boost primary productivity of horticulture products. Moreover, with increasing consumer awareness of the negative consequences of foods cultivated with synthetic fertilizers, is prompting farmers to seek out organic fertilizer alternatives.
Impact of Covid-19
Due to the
Covid-19 pandemic, China, one of the world's top producers and consumers of
organic fertilizers, has been observing the impacts on the organic fertilizer horticulture
products market. The supply chain
was impacted by the closure of manufacturing units in China and limitations on
the export and import of organic fertilizers and raw materials, mainly animal
waste, to and from China's prohibited areas. This scenario had an impact on the
industry's production, sales, and operations. The epidemic also had a negative
impact on the organic fertilizer market in a number of nations throughout the
world, including the United States, India, Australia, Brazil, and Europe. Furthermore,
many
fertilizer plants in India were closed or worked at reduced capacity as a
result of the countrywide lockdown, resulting in significant losses in domestic
organic fertilizer production.

Organic Fertilizers and Horticulture Products Market Segment Analysis- By Form
Liquid form held the largest share in the organic fertilizers and horticulture products market in 2020. Increasing usage of agricultural residues and industrial wastes to make liquid organic fertilizers are raising the demand for organic fertilizers. Since the agricultural methods are progressively gravitating toward a commitment to environmental sustainability. As a result, many farmers have begun to accept organic fertilizers. Many people use organic liquid fertilizer since it is more environmentally friendly. The efficiency of application and storage are the primary drivers of the liquid formulations segment's growth. Farmers have been using it for a long time since it is much easier and safer to handle than dry formulation. With the rise of organic farming and the use of precision irrigation technologies, more acreage is being irrigated. They can be used with any sort of sprayer, including portable sprayers and hydraulic spraying machines. Thus, the key reason for the dominance of liquid form of organic fertilizers in the fertilizer business is because they are considerably easier to handle for treating vast regions.
Organic Fertilizers and Horticulture Products Market Segment Analysis- By Crop Type
Cereals & Grains sector held the largest share with 24% in the organic fertilizers and horticulture products market in 2020. Increasing production of cereals & grains in various regions has raised the demand for organic fertilizers worldwide. On a global scale, total cereals & grains production has been increasing, and with the rise in cereal & grains production and consumption, it has become more important for growers to concentrate on yield and quality by employing effective organic fertilizers. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), in 2018, cereal production totaled 38 million tons, with wheat accounting for 21.3 million tons, coarse grain accounting for 13.9 million tons, and rice accounting for 4.1 million tons. Egypt also had the highest cereal production in 2018, led by Morocco. Egypt also had the highest cereal production in 2018, led by Morocco. Thus, the increasing production of cereals & grains is anticipated to drive the growth of the organic fertilizers and horticulture products market in the forecast period.
Organic Fertilizers and Horticulture Products Market Segment
Analysis- Geography
Asia-Pacific region held the largest share of more than 38% in the organic fertilizers and horticulture products market in 2020. Increasing concerns about the region's current fertilizer usage trend, heavy reliance on nitrogen fertilizers, poor nutritional management, a lack of additional inputs, decreasing soil fertility, and weak marketing and distribution systems have all emerged as major roadblocks to improving fertilizer performance. Organic fertilizers such as animal manure and plant-based organic fertilizers have developed and fueled the fertilizer market in the area as a result of these concerns. Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the organic fertilizers and horticulture products market in the upcoming years with the rising demand for organic fertilizers. In the region’s emerging economies such as China, India, and Singapore, the rising advancements in the production of organic fertilizers, is a key factor for the organic fertilizers and horticulture products market to expand steadily in the coming years. Thus, the rising demand for organic fertilizers and horticulture products is therefore anticipated to increase in the Asia-Pacific region over the forecast period.
Organic Fertilizers and Horticulture Products Market Drivers
Increasing demand for organic foods
Rising demand for organic food products has uplifted the growth of the organic fertilizers and horticulture products market. Organic food industry growth is fueled by increasing environmental awareness and customer demand. Also, in order to avoid artificial chemicals, the consumption of organic foods has increased. According to the Organic Trade Association's 2020 Organic Industry Survey, consumers are consuming more organic food and using more organic goods than ever before. Furthermore, in 2019, the organic industry in the United States had a banner year, with organic sales in the food and non-food sectors reaching a new high of US$ 55.1 billion, up from 5% from the previous year (2018). Potassium is an important macronutrient in plants and is needed for plant vigour. In most forms of organic foods produced animal manure is added so that macronutrient such as potassium is induced in plants for better growth. Thus, the growing demand for organic food is anticipated to boost the organic fertilizers and horticulture products market.
Rising Innovations in the Production of Organic Fertilizers
The growth of the organic fertilizer market is being fueled by advances in the manufacturing process for organic fertilizers. Composting food wastes, rotting vegetables, fruits, grass, and leaves the traditional way takes time to turn into fertilizers. Biomax Technologies, based in Singapore, has recently created a groundbreaking technology known as the "Rapid Thermophilic Digestion System," which can turn organic wastes into organic fertilizers in as little as a day. The organic fertilizer market is expanding as a result of these types of advances in the manufacturing process. Also, in the year 2020, EarthRenew has teamed up with CCm, to create and test new organic fertilizer product formulations. Thus, the rising innovations in the production of organic fertilizers are estimated to drive the organic fertilizers and horticulture products market growth.
Organic Fertilizers and Horticulture Products Market Challenges
Lack of Awareness
The most significant impediment to organic fertilizers development is the government's failure to make a firm decision to support organic agriculture at the policy making stage. Simply creating regulations has turned out to be ineffective unless there is a simple and unambiguous guidance from the Center to the panchayat levels in terms of both financial and technical support. Many farmers in various countries have only hazy understandings of organic fertilizers and its benefits over chemical fertilizers. The use of organic fertilizers requires farming community’s awareness and willingness. It is also important to understand the availability and utility of supplementary nutrients for soil enrichment in order to boost productivity. Also, the lack of attention on organic fertilizers production among farmers is affecting the market growth. Thus, the lack of awareness about organic fertilizers is estimated to affect the organic fertilizers and horticulture products market growth.
