North America Biofertilizers Market Analysis
The North America Biofertilizers Market size is estimated at USD 1.18 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 1.92 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 10.10% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The United States is the largest and fastest-growing market, followed by Canada. Favorable government policies, an easy registration process, and the increasing number of organic farms are the main factors driving the market. Among biofertilizers, Rhizobium biofertilizers led the market in 2019 in North America. Popular genera used as biofertilizers in North America are Bradyrhizobium, Sinorhizobium, Azorhizobium, Mesorhizobium, and Allorhizobium. In 2019, grains and cereals contributed a major share of the North American biofertilizer market among the various types of crops. Wheat, corn, and soybean are some of the major cereals grown in North America that account for the majority of the biofertilizer applications in the region.
North America Biofertilizers Market Trends
Increasing Demand for Crops with Higher Quality and Yields
The growing population in North America is leading to a decline in the proportion of arable land, which is primarily used to produce food. This necessitates cultivating in poor soils. The application of biofertilizers helps in enhancing the yield and the quality of the soil. Therefore, it also improves the bioavailability of all kinds of nutrients. This, in turn, is anticipated to contribute to productivity, nutrient content, and profitability.
When biofertilizers are properly used to replenish nutrients removed from previous crops, they are anticipated to improve the productivity of farms. An increase in farm productivity is beneficial to the environment, primarily due to the lower requirement of land, labor, and energy per unit of output.
Consumption of organic food has become a popular trend in the last few years due to the awareness of a healthy diet. Organic food sales in the United States reached a record of 49.4 billion in 2017, an increase of 6.4% compared to the previous year. According to the FiBl, North America has 5% of organic agricultural land in the world, while the United States stands as the fifth-largest country. This is expected to drive the usage of biofertilizers in North America.
Rhizobium Biofertilizers Hold the Largest Market Share
The rhizobium segment accounted for 36.6% of the North American market in 2019. Rhizobium is a naturally occurring nitrogen-fixing bacterium found especially in the root nodules of leguminous plants. It has been estimated that 40-250 kg of nitrogen per hectare per year is fixed by different legume crops by microbial activities of rhizobium. In terms of products, rhizobium also accounts for the major share of biofertilizer production globally.
The popular genera used as biofertilizers are Bradyrhizobium, Sinorhizobium, Azorhizobium, Mesorhizobium, and Allorhizobium. Some popular Rhizobium-based products are Cell-Tech® (Novozymes), Nitragin Gold® (Novozymes), TagTeam® (Novozymes), Mamezo® (Tokachi Federation of Agricultural Cooperatives), R-Processing Seeds® (Tokachi Federation of Agricultural Cooperatives), and Hyper Coating Seeds ® (Tokachi Federation of Agricultural Cooperatives).
There is constant research being carried out to develop strains that are biotic/abiotic stress-tolerant across the region. For instance, Rhizobium trifolii inoculated with Trifoliumalexandrinum displayed higher biomass and increased nodulation under salinity stress conditions.
North America Biofertilizers Industry Overview
The biofertilizer market is highly fragmented, with the top six market players accounting for about 18.78% of the market, while other companies account for the remaining share. Kiwa Bio-Tech, Lallemand, Nutiren (Actagro LLC), and California Organic Fertilizers are some of the major players in the North American biofertilizer market. These players are making distribution agreements with local retail distributors to expand their regional presence.
