The market size of the global Organic Fertilizers market in the year 2021 is valued at 8.97 billion and is predicted to reach 23.33 billion by the year 2030 at an 11.53% CAGR during the forecast period.
Organic fertilizers are made from raw materials such as animal waste, manure, plant debris, and human waste. It is an essential component that encourages the growth of soil microorganisms. The organic fertilizer's composition determines how nutrient-dense it is. One of the key elements fueling the expansion of organic farming is the demand for organic fertilizers. Consumer demand for organic goods is being driven by rising health consciousness. As more people choose to eat organic food because they believe it to be safe and healthful, there has been a substantial rise in organic farming worldwide, fueling the market for organic fertilizers. Additionally, many government programs and subsidies designed to lessen environmental pollution motivate farmers to choose organic agriculture. The market for organic fertilizers is expected to rise due to several fundamental factors, including changing farming methods, new technology, significant investments in research and development, and increasing health consciousness.
Consumer demand for foods free of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides will drive market expansion in the coming years. However, the high demand for inorganic (synthetic) fertilizers limits the market's development. Furthermore, the abundant supply of organic waste and innovations in the production process of organic fertilizers are offering chances for the market's expansion.
