The demand for biofertilizers is witnessing strong growth since the last decade owing to its eco-friendly characteristics and a trend to reduce the reliance on chemically derived fertilizers. Biofertilizers are manufactured using living cells of microorganisms which help in the growth of crops by providing the required nutrients from the soil. 

The global market for biofertilizers is expected to exceed a market worth USD 10.2 billion by 2018, growing at an approximate CAGR of 12.9% from 2012 to 2018. European and Latin American countries are the leading consumers of biofertilizers, owing to stringent regulations to replace chemical fertilizers with biofertilizers. Asia-Pacific shared approximately 34% of the total demand in 2011. 

Some of the major factors which are driving the biofertilizers market include the growing concerns regarding the impact of chemical fertilizers on the environment along with its safety issues and the governmental support for producing biofertilizers. The growing demand for organic food is also acting as one of the major factors which are driving the market. However, the lack of awareness about the benefits of using biofertilizers for crop growth is a major factor which is inhibiting the market growth. 

Asia-Pacific is one of the fastest growing markets for biofertilizers, owing to the strong demand from agricultural based countries such as China and India. China and India are growing at a GDP rate which is more than the global GDP growth rate. It is evident that Asia-Pacific holds immense opportunities for biofertilizer manufacturers. 

Some of the major companies operating in the global biofertilizers market include Agri Life, Antibiotice S.A., Biomax, Camson Biotechnologies Ltd, CBF China Biofertilizers, Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals Ltd., LABIOFAM S.A.., Novozymes, and numerous others.
