global biofertilizer market

The global biofertilizer market has been growing at a positive rate over the past few. This is a result of several growth inducing forces which include increasing environment pollution, government initiatives and the rising consumption of organic foods.

Biofertilizers refers to organic fertilisers which are made from biological wastes. They contain microorganisms which decomposes the organic substance and breakdown complex minerals for an easier absorption by the plants, thereby promoting their growth. Additionally, biofertilizers stand as a strong counterpart for chemical fertilizers and pesticides as they are environment-friendly, cost-effective, sustain health of the soil and combat various diseases. A new research report by IMARC Group, titled “Biofertilizer Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2023”, estimates that the global biofertilizer market was worth more than US$ 1.53 Billion in 2017. The report further anticipates the market to cross US$ 3.35 Billion by 2023, at a projected CAGR of around 14% over the forecast period.
