Drivers & Restraints-
Rising Concern over Declining Soil Quality to Augment Growth
The use of chemicals and acidic fertilizers such
as calcium nitrate, monoammonium phosphate, and others has resulted in
degradation of soil quality. Over the years, this has led to less crop
cultivation, eventually leading to the land getting barren. This has propelled
the need for organic fertilizers, thereby augmenting the global biofertilizers
market growth. Besides this, biofertilizers consist of living microorganisms
that help the plants to grow naturally by supplying essential nutrients. It also
helps to increase the fertility of the soil. The aforementioned factors are
also contributing to the growth of the market.
On the contrary, biofertilizers have high
production costs and this may pose a major challenge to the farmers, thereby
causing hindrance to the growth of the market. In addition to this, they have a
lower shelf-life as compared to chemical fertilizers and have lower
versatility. This may also hamper the growth of the market in the forecast
years.
Nevertheless, government support in terms of
agricultural awareness programs and promotion and distribution of
bio-fertilizers are expected to create lucrative growth opportunities for the
market in the coming years.
Segmentation
Cereals Segment to Continue Dominance Owing to Rising Demand for Organic
Products
Among all segments by crop type, the cereals

of USD 470.83 million. According to the United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA), organic businesses and certified farms grew at a massive rate of 13%
between 2015 and 2016.
On the other side, the market in South America
