The global organic fertilizers market size is estimated to reach USD 18.80 million by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market growth is majorly attributed to increasing awareness about environmental sustainability and the harmful effects of synthetic fertilizers on soil health. In addition, growing demand for organic food products due to health concerns and preference for chemical-free agricultural practices also contributes to market expansion. Organic fertilizers are derived from various natural sources including animals, plants, and minerals, offering an environmentally friendly approach over chemical-based products. The animal-based products are derived from bone meal, blood meal, fish emulsion, and poultry litter.
Whereas the plant-based products are sourced from compost, alfalfa meal, soybean meal, cottonseed meal, and green manure. While organic fertilizers offer more sustainable and eco-friendly options as compared to conventional chemicals, they face several limitations that can further hinder their adoption. For instance, organic fertilizers often have slower and less consistent pest control, which can be a major concern for farmers. Moreover, the broader spectrum of action of many synthetic fertilizers makes them effective against a wide range of pests compared to more targeted organic alternatives. North America is the second-largest consumer of organic fertilizers and is witnessing a rapid increase in demand for organic food products.
Farmers in North America are embracing new biological technologies at an accelerated rate. This shift towards sustainable agricultural practices is anticipated to further propel the adoption of organic fertilizers across the region. Governments in different regions are responding to the global push towards eco-friendly and sustainable practices. The shift aims to improve the soil health and reduce reliance on harmful chemicals. For instance, the European Commission has introduced an action plan aiming to expand the organic farming area in member countries to encompass 25.0% of the region's agricultural land by 2030. In addition, South American nations, such as Peru and Argentina, have implemented bans on chemical fertilizers, fueling growth in the South American product market.
