Latin America Bio-Fertilizers Market by Application (Cereals & Grains, Fruits & Vegetables, Pulses & Grains), by Type (Nitrogen Fixing, Phosphate Solubilizing, Potash Mobilizing, Others), by Source, by Geography - Analysis and Forecast to 2019

The Latin American bio-fertilizers market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 15.0% from 2014 to 2019. Bio-fertilizers play a vital role in optimizing organic content of soil, which provides necessary nutrition to plants. These fertilizers are cost-effective as compared to chemical fertilizers since they increase soil fertility in the long run by restoring the natural nutrient generation cycle of soil.

Bio-fertilizers enhance the fertility and productivity of soil, as they naturally boost nutrient uptake, which is essential for the growth and development of plant. Nitrogen-fixing, phosphate solubilizing, and potash mobilizing are different types of commonly used bio-fertilizers. The cost of producing bio-fertilizers depends on the fermentation technology developed and the economies of scale. This cost varies according to the complexity of the production process and downstream processing.

The Latin American bio-fertilizers market is dominated by Brazil, followed by Argentina.  In Brazil, the market for bio-fertilizers is expanding, due to strong commercial appeal related to its benefits to soil and the environment. Bio-fertilizers are applied to crops such as beans, corn, rice, sugarcane, soybean, eucalyptus, citrus, tomatoes, cotton, forage crops, and carrots. The major advantages of using bio-fertilizers are lower soil acidification, higher longevity, and zero environmental impact.

The Latin American bio-fertilizers market is a competitive market, with firms such as Novozymes A/S (Denmark), Rhizobacter Argentian SA (Argentina), and Antibotice SA. These companies are adapting numerous market strategies, including innovative product development, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, and expansion of existing facilities to gain the market share. Apart from these companies, there are large numbers of small firms operational in the Latin American bio-fertilizers market.

The Latin American bio-fertilizers market was valued at $163.1 million in 2014, and is projected to reach $327.8 million by 2019, at a CAGR of 15.0% during the forecast period. The fruits & vegetables application segment contributed market the largest share of 28.4% to the market in 2014. Among its various types, the nitrogen-fixing is the most commonly used bio-fertilizers.

The Latin American bio-fertilizers market is expected to witness high growth in the coming years, owing to the expanding organic food industry. This market is highly fragmented, due to the presence of various small-scale regional players in this industry. The demand for bio-fertilizers in the region is estimated to rise in the near future, due to the constantly rising grain prices in recent years, which have encouraged farmers to maximize yield.

Crops require different types of nutrients for growth. Most of these nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and potassium are found in the soil itself. However, soil loses its potential to supply the required amount of nutrients to the crops, due to depletion brought on by continuous farming, soil erosion, and other factors. In order to overcome this depletion, fertilizers are used, as they fulfill the nutritional deficiencies in the soil so that it can supply the essential nutrients to the crops.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the Latin American market for bio-fertilizers. This report includes revenue forecasts, market trends, and opportunities for the period from 2014 to 2019. The analysis has been conducted on the various market segments derived on the basis of application of bio-fertilizers and various types of bio-fertilizers.
