Market Growth Factors

Government incentives and subsidies of a huge nature, to include financial assistance, tax concessions, and R&D grants, have contributed to a large degree to growth of the biofertilizers market in Europe. These measures encourage farmers to replace chemical fertilizers, employ the best practices for improvement of the quality of their soils, and reduce environmental harm using biofertilizers.

Resource sustainable use represents an important market trend. Bio-fertilizers exist as an eco-friendly alternative to chemical fertilizers which improve the fertility of soil and can be used in organic farming. This trend drives partly out of environmental awareness, the rising demand for organically grown products, and strict European regulations for chemical fertilizers' use.

The demand for organic produce grows and mainly creates the higher biofertilizer market, because consumers know about health and environmental impacts, which encourages farmers into the adoption of biofertilizers for organic farming. For example, the European Green Deal's "farm to fork" strategy includes a target that 25% of the Union's agricultural land should be under organic farming by 2030. This increase is expected to increase the use of biofertilizers in Europe.
