United States Biofertilizers Market Insights Forecasts to 2035

• The US Biofertilizers Market Size Was Estimated at USD 262.9 Million in 2024
• The Market Size is Expected to Grow at a CAGR of around 12.62% from 2025 to 2035
• The US Biofertilizers Market Size is Expected to Reach USD 971.8 Million by 2035

According to a research report published by Spherical Insights & Consulting, The United States Biofertilizers Market Size is anticipated to reach USD 971.8 Million by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 12.62% from 2025 to 2035. The expansion of the United States biofertilizers market is propelled by growing awareness of synthetic fertilisers' negative effects on the environment has prompted businesses to invest more in biofertilizer research and development.

Market Overview

Living microorganisms found in biofertilizers are substances that, when applied to soil, plant surfaces, or seeds, colonise the rhizosphere, or interior of the plant, increasing the host plant's supply or availability of primary nutrients and so fostering development. In 2022, the consolidated market structure, where the top five competitors had over 32.5% of the market share, indicates that the US biofertilizer industry operates in a concentrated competitive setting. Based on market share data, rhizobium-based products are the leader in the biofertilizer market with a 33.7% share, and the biofertilizer market is characterized by phosphate-solubilizing and nitrogen-fixing microorganisms. The mycorrhiza sector has 26.4% of the total market share and azospirillum has 24.4% share of the market. This market system promoted vigorous competition while maintaining strict requirements for product quality and stimulated innovation around microbes and variation in compositions. Technological advancements related to biofertilizer technologies have made products perform much better and enabled improved strategies for use. For instance, Rhizobium-containing products have shown that they can fix 200–300 kg of nitrogen for plants to consume in a year, thus reducing the demand for synthetic fertilisers. The introduction of LALFIX START spherical granule by Lallemand in July 2022, which included a combination of Bacillus velezensis and two varieties of Rhizobium strains to enhance solubilised phosphorus availability and root mass development, is another example of how industry producers have created cutting-edge formulation technology.

Driving Factors

The growth of the United States biofertilizers market is boosted by high-value crops, specifically horticultural crops, can be produced through the use of biofertilizers. The use of biofertilizers as an alternative non-chemical input is crucial since the overuse of chemical fertilisers and, to a lesser extent, intensive farming practices have decreased the fertility of agricultural soils. Accordingly, biofertilizers also contribute to enhanced microbial content and soil fertility as these products restore microbial populations in agricultural soils. Thus, combining these products with others helps to maintain soil health and increase yields.

Restraining Factors

The market for biofertilizers in the US confronts challenges, including the preservation and storage of the microorganisms utilized in the final products is one of the most crucial manufacturing concerns for producers of biofertilizer. The effective storage of these microorganisms is crucial because their viability will determine the effectiveness of the biological fertilizers.

Market Segmentation

The United States biofertilizers market share is classified into product and application.

• The nitrogen fixation segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period.

The United States biofertilizers market is segmented by product into nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilizing, and others. Among these, the nitrogen fixation segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period. The segment is driven as plants cannot utilize air nitrogen to create the fixed nitrogen necessary for growth, so nitrogen-fixing bacteria, such as rhizobium, azotobacter, and azospirillum, are routinely used as biofertilizers. Because Azotobacter can survive in alkaline soil and grow in aerobic conditions, it can be used with a variety of crops, including potatoes, cotton, wheat, maize, and mustard. Rhizobium is most beneficial for growing leguminous crops because it forms an endosymbiotic association with legume plant roots.

• The seed treatment segment held the highest revenue share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the application, the United States biofertilizers market is segmented into seed treatment and soil treatment. Among these, the seed treatment segment held the highest revenue share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The segmental growth is propelled by treated seeds, which are soaked in a phosphate and nitrogen fertiliser solution, dried in the sun, and planted in the field. The biofertilizer coating promotes rapid and vigorous plant growth. With the increased demand for organic food, there is an expected growth in the use of biofertilizers in seed treatment.
