BLUE-GREEN ALGAE FERTILIZER MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW
The global Blue-green Algae Fertilizer Market size was estimated at USD 6.28 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD1.83 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 12.60% during the forecast period.
Blue-green algae fertilizer is a biofertilizer which is also cost-effective and can be easily adapted to any agricultural system and it is known for improving the soil quality and providing the required nutrients to the plant for its growth. Being a great substitute for urea and the chemical fertilisers that decrease soil health and not a sustainable option this fertilizer poses to be a great solution. The fertilizer restores the soil health and the natural nutrient cycle. The biofertilizer is very helpful for the plants and allows them to grow and thrive. This fertilizer is an advantageous product in the agriculture field and the demand for this is increasing due to the farmer becoming aware of sustainability and organic farming.
COVID-19 Impact: Market Growth Restrained by Pandemic Due to Production Impact and Demand Impact
The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market lesser growth reflected by the low CAGR is attributable to the lower market growth and demand compared to pre-pandemic levels.
The COVID-19 pandemic threw a wrench into the gears of market growth, having a direct impact on the production of blue-green algae fertilizer due to the disruption caused by the pandemic in the agriculture sector while the remote work adoption made farmers stay at home due to the safety precaution impacting the usage or demand for fertilizer. The tight supply during the time has affected the market making the manufacturers adopt new regulatory policies for the production, labelling, and sale of fertilizers may have adjusted their priorities or processes in response to the pandemic.
LATEST TRENDS
Demand for Organic and Focus on Soil is Increasing Demand of the Blue-green Algae Fertilizer Market
Blue-green algae fertilizer is rich in nutrients and the farmer does natural and sustainable farming to provide a balanced nutrient growth to the plants and improve crop productivity by keeping the health of the crop in check. These biofertilizers and green manure are very important for organic farming, and the expansion of the organic food industry is driving the demand for these products. The bioactive compounds that are present in the fertiliser help stimulate plant growth and crop yields by improving the soil structure and nutrient content.

BLUE GREEN ALGAE FERTILIZER SYSTEM MARKET SEGMENTATION
By Type
Based on type the market can be categorized into Nitrogen-fixing Biofertilizers, Phosphate Solubilizing and Mobilizing Biofertilizers, Potash Solubilizing and Mobilizing Biofertilizers & Others
- Nitrogen-fixing Biofertilizers: In the nitrogen-fixing biofertilizer there is cyanobacteria, that fix atmospheric nitrogen and transform it into a form that plants can absorb and then that later improves the soil fertility and quality making the soil perfect for the agriculture practice for long term.
. Phosphate Solubilizing and Mobilizing Biofertilizers: These biofertilizers also have cyanobacteria that breaks down the phosphate from the insoluble forms of soil for the plants to easily absorb and this results in good plant growth and development.
. Potash Solubilizing and Mobilizing Biofertilizers: In the potash solubilizing and mobilizing biofertilizer have presence of cyanobacteria that enhance root development by solubilizing inorganic potash ions from insoluble mineral sources in the soil.
By Application
Based on application, the market can be categorized into Soil Treatment, Seed Treatment & Others.
- Soil Treatment: Blue-green algal fertilizers play a crucial role in improving the fertility and health of the soil, by harnessing the nitrogen-fixing capabilities of cyanobacteria. It gives a great nutrient treatment to the soil resulting in sustainable farming.
- Seed Treatment: Before planting, blue-green algal fertilizer is directly applied to seeds to enhance germination, vigour, and early growth stages. A layer of blue-green algal fertilizer applied to seeds can provide essential nutrients and beneficial bacteria that promote seedling establishment and root growth.
