Organic fertilizers are naturally sourced materials that enhance soil fertility and encourage plant growth. They improve soil structure, boost water retention, and support beneficial microorganisms, contributing to sustainable and eco-friendly farming practices.
Organic fertilizers are used for various crop types, including cereals and grains, oilseeds and pulses, fruits and vegetables, landscaping or garden plants, and more. Cereal and grain crops such as wheat, rice, corn, barley, and oats are grown mainly for their edible seeds. These fertilizers can be derived from animal, plant, or mineral sources and come in different forms, such as dry or liquid.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs on imported organic fertilizer raw materials, such as mineral-based components and plant-derived inputs, have increased production costs and impacted supply chains, particularly in regions dependent on foreign sources like Asia-Pacific and Europe. These tariffs affect crop segments including cereals, fruits, vegetables, and landscaping applications by raising input prices and causing sourcing delays. Nevertheless, tariff pressures can also promote domestic production of organic fertilizers, encouraging local industry growth and strengthening regional self-reliance in sustainable agricultural inputs.

The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing awareness of soil degradation, rising demand for sustainable farming, increase in organic crop cultivation, reliance on natural fertilizer sources, expansion of small-scale farming.
The organic fertilizers market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $16.49 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising government incentives for organic agriculture, increasing shift away from synthetic fertilizers, growth in environmentally conscious consumer behavior, rising investment in soil health technologies, expansion of regenerative farming programs. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of soil-enriching organic inputs, increasing demand for eco-friendly fertilizer alternatives, growth in regenerative agriculture practices, expansion of organic farming acreage, greater emphasis on soil microbial health.
The rising demand for organic food is expected to drive the growth of the organic fertilizer market going forward. Organic food refers to products produced using farming practices that prioritize natural substances and processes. This demand is increasing due to growing consumer awareness of health benefits, environmental sustainability, and ethical practices, along with improved availability and accessibility of organic products. Organic fertilizers enhance soil health and plant growth without synthetic chemicals, supporting sustainable and nutrient-rich organic food production. For example, in February 2025, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), a U.S.-based government agency, reported that sales in 2024 are projected to reach $50.8 billion (€49.2 billion), up from $50.4 billion (€48.8 billion) in 2023, which represented a 10.5% increase from the previous year. Therefore, rising organic food sales are driving the growth of the organic fertilizer market.
Key players in the organic fertilizers sector are concentrating on creating innovative products, such as bio-enhanced fertilizers, to sustainably improve soil health and increase crop yields. Bio-enhanced fertilizers are organic products enriched with beneficial microorganisms that enhance nutrient availability and soil health. For instance, in August 2023, Bionema Group Limited, a UK-based biotechnology firm, introduced a new line of four biofertilizers in the UK. These products use living microbes to enhance nutrient availability in the soil, aiming to restore soil health and promote sustainable farming by reducing dependence on synthetic fertilizers. These biofertilizers are designed to improve nutrient uptake and overall plant growth, fostering more resilient farming practices. This launch highlights Bionema's dedication to offering eco-friendly solutions for crop protection and plant health management, in response to the rising demand for sustainable agricultural methods.
In February 2023, Corteva Inc., a US-based company specializing in agricultural chemicals and seeds, acquired Symborg Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is part of Corteva's strategy to enhance its position in the biological market by expanding its portfolio with advanced microbiological technologies, diverse solutions, and an extended global reach. Symborg Inc., based in the US, is known for its production of organic fertilizers.
