Asia-Pacific Biological Organic Fertilizers Market Analysis
The Asia-Pacific Biological Organic Fertilizers Market size is estimated at USD 1.9 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 2.80 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.30% during the forecast period (2025-2030).
The biological organic fertilizer market in Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing among all the other regions. The consumption of organic fertilizers in Asia-Pacific is anticipated to increase with rising awareness among farmers about the benefits of bio-based and organic residue-based fertilizers. The regional demand is concentrated among major agriculture-based countries like China, India, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam while China and India are leading the market developments.
Organic fertilizers are derived from various animal and plant residues, mineral ores, and beneficial microorganisms. In India, the application of organic fertilizers varies, either in bulk or concentrated form, based on the nutrient content of the product. For instance, in 2022, the Indian government initiated plans to promote bio fertilizers and organic fertilizers as alternatives to urea-based ones. This strategy aims to bolster India's self-reliance in fertilizer production and curb the rising year-on-year fertilizer subsidies, driven by escalating input costs. These organic options, being low-cost and renewable, serve as supplements to chemical fertilizers. Beneficial soil microorganisms, chosen for either seed treatment or soil application, are gaining traction among farmers, signaling robust market growth in the coming years.
Meanwhile, China has been at the forefront, developing key technologies in the organic fertilizer sector for the past five decades. Chinese researchers are pioneering innovative solutions as alternatives to chemical fertilizers. For instance, in 2021, a bio-organic fertilizer (BoF) was crafted from 79% kitchen waste, 15% chita-dhan (unfilled rice grain) biochar, 5% rock phosphate, and a 1% consortium of 10 plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB). This formulation not only supplements 30% of nitrogen needs but also replaces the need for triple superphosphate (TSP) fertilizer in rice production, all while enhancing soil health. Thus, BoF emerges as a green technology, slashing synthetic nitrogen needs by 30% and eliminating TSP requirements, further boosting the market's growth prospects.
Asia-Pacific Biological Organic Fertilizers Market Trends
Increased Adoption of Organic Farming
As food demand surges in Asia Pacific, growers are ramping up crop production. Yet, the rising reliance on synthetic fertilizers is harming soil health and affecting agricultural yields. Meanwhile, biofertilizers are gaining popularity in organic farming on a large scale. In response, Asian governments are championing organic farming and biofertilizers to safeguard soil health, curtail chemical use, and boost biological and organic inputs. For example, in 2023, India's Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare, in tandem with the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) and the Ministry of Science and Technology, spearheaded efforts to advance the research, development, and commercialization of biofertilizers and biopesticides. The Indian government is backing organic farming with subsidies for new biofertilizers and biopesticide units. They've allocated grants of USD 4.5 million for establishing biocontrol laboratories and another USD 2 million for equipment to produce biocontrol agents, including biofertilizers. Furthermore, NITI Aayog, a central government organization, is actively endorsing the use of biofertilizers and organic fertilizers.
China, too, has acknowledged the detrimental effects of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The nation rolled out an action plan titled ‘Zero Growth on Chemical Fertilizer and Pesticide by 2020’ to curtail synthetic pesticide and fertilizer usage. Additionally, China has partnered with the U.S. EPA to tackle pollution challenges, leading to a significant outcome: modifying registration procedures to prioritize biofertilizers.
According to FiBL, in Asia Pacific, cereals have a major organic area under cultivation with 1,690,260.48 hectares in 2021 which is raised compared to the previous year with 1,807,066.73 hectares in 2022 in the Region. The rise in demand for organic products is booming, not only due to an increase in conscientious consumers but also due to increasing incomes, along with improved farming practices and favorable government policies that make organic yields more robust. Therefore, an increase in land under organic cultivation will drive the organic fertilizer market during the forecast period.

China Dominates the Market
In recent years biofertilizer production has increased significantly, fertilizer quality has been improved, and especially the impact for the protection of the ecological environment is increasingly recognized. At the same time, the government has also supported policies and funds, and formulated a series of industry standards to regulate and monitor production. The government has taken steps to establish domestic policies on agricultural environment protection and started designing an agricultural green subsidy policy. The primary goal of the new subsidy in its current stage is to guarantee food security, ensure self-efficiency of major agricultural products such as rice and wheat, and increase farmers’ incomes.
The Asia-Pacific region is majorly influenced by the Chinese market. The Chinese economy is moving toward a green agriculture practice by encouraging farmers to scale back the use of chemical fertilizers and switch to bio-based and organic alternatives. China focused more on expanding the use of organic fertilizers and cutting that of chemical fertilizers to promote green agriculture. According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, in 2022, the proportion of land with the use of organic fertilizers will be increased by more than 5 percentage in the country.
In addition, According to FiBL, China is the largest country in region that is occupied with 0.56% of organic land in the year 2022 followed by the India. At present, the number of organic fertilizer producers has been growing every year. Some larger fertilizer manufacturers have also stepped into the industry. China has over 300 organic producing enterprises with an annual product output of about half a million metric ton. Therefore, this market is likely to grow huge during the forecasting period.
