  • The overuse of chemical fertilizers and pesticides is one of the serious challenges in the country. The continuous use of nitrogen at fixed sites had a negative impact on the health of the soil and crop yield, indicating deficiencies in several macro and micronutrients. Even with recommended doses of NPK and more, deficiency of micro and secondary nutrients has become a yield-limiting factor.
  • The adoption of sustainable agricultural practices or organic farming can decrease the effect of chemical fertilizers on the environment. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) recommends integrated nutrient management through conjunctive use of both inorganic and organic sources of plant nutrients to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers, preventing deterioration of soil health and environment and contamination of groundwater.
  • These factors and the growing organic agricultural cultivation area are driving the Indian agricultural biologicals market. The crop protection segment is dominating the market. It was valued at about USD 1.84 billion in 2022. The crop nutrition segment was valued at USD 551.3 million in the same year.
  • Row crop cultivation is dominant in the country, accounting for about 84.9% of the Indian agricultural biologicals market in 2022. The country is promoting organic farming under the Parampragat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY) and the Mission Organic Value Chain Development for North East Region (MOVCD-NER). The demand for organic products in domestic and international markets is also expected to drive the Indian agricultural biologicals market during the forecast period.

India Agricultural Biologicals Market Trends

Growing number of organic producers helping the increase in area under organic cultivation, primarily in row crops

  • India is the largest country, in terms of the total number of certified organic producers in the world, with 1.3 million organic producers in 2019. Despite having a large number of organic producers, organic cultivation areas in the country account for around 2.0% of the total agriculture area in the country. In 2021, the organic area in the country was recorded as 711,094.0 hectares, which increased by about 3.4% compared to 2017. [1]
  • Organic farming in the country is concentrated in only a few states. The top ten organic farming states in the country account for about 80.0% of the total organic crop area. A few states have taken the lead in improving organic farming coverage, like Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra, which are the top three organic farming states in the country. Madhya Pradesh alone accounted for about 27.0% of India’s total organic cultivation area in 2019. [2]
  • Organic cultivation of row crops is dominant in the country, which accounted for about 59.7% of the total organic crop area in 2021. Cereal crop production is dominant rice, wheat, millet, and maize are the major cereals produced. Most cereal crops are grown in the kharif season (June - September). The crops grown in this season are mainly rain dependent or require more water, like rice, maize, cotton, and soybean.
  • The overall organic cash crop cultivation area increased from 2.7 lakh hectares in 2017 to 2.8 lakh hectares in 2021. The major cash crops produced in the country are cotton, sugarcane, tea, and spices. There is a limited growth of organic horticultural crops currently in the country. The increasing demand for organic products and Indian government initiatives to go organic are anticipated to increase organic crop area during the forecast period.

Growing demand and their easy accessibility through e-commerce channels, rising the per capita spending on organic food

  • India's per capita spending on organic products is relatively low at USD 0.23 compared to the average per capita spending on organic products in Asia-Pacific. However, in recent years, shifting consumer demand has increased toward organic products as more customers perceive these items offer better immunity, higher quality, and more accessibility through e-commerce channels. India is a promising and developing market for organic foods and beverages. India's domestic organic food and beverage industry is expected to be worth USD 138.0 million by 2024, rising at a compound annual growth rate of 13% between 2019 to 2024. [1]
  • In 2022, the total combined organic food and beverages worth USD 108.0 million consumed in the country. The consumption value of organic products in the country increased from USD 45 million in 2016 to USD 96.0 million in 2021. Organic food sales have seen an increasing trend mainly due to increasing consumer awareness, and high-income consumers are propelling organic food and beverage consumption. Categories that gained the most demand included essential foods, such as organic eggs, dairy, and fruits and vegetables.
  • Organic beverage consumption dominated the market and accounted for about 85.2% of the total combined organic food and beverages market value in 2022. The organic beverages segment includes organic packaged food and beverages that are certified by the approved certification body. Organic beverage consumption value increased at a CAGR of 14% between 2020 to 2022.

India Agricultural Biologicals Industry Segmentation

Crop Nutrition, Crop Protection are covered as segments by Function. Cash Crops, Horticultural Crops, Row Crops are covered as segments by Crop Type.

  • The overuse of chemical fertilizers and pesticides is one of the serious challenges in the country. The continuous use of nitrogen at fixed sites had a negative impact on the health of the soil and crop yield, indicating deficiencies in several macro and micronutrients. Even with recommended doses of NPK and more, deficiency of micro and secondary nutrients has become a yield-limiting factor.
  • The adoption of sustainable agricultural practices or organic farming can decrease the effect of chemical fertilizers on the environment. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) recommends integrated nutrient management through conjunctive use of both inorganic and organic sources of plant nutrients to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers, preventing deterioration of soil health and environment and contamination of groundwater.
  • These factors and the growing organic agricultural cultivation area are driving the Indian agricultural biologicals market. The crop protection segment is dominating the market. It was valued at about USD 1.84 billion in 2022. The crop nutrition segment was valued at USD 551.3 million in the same year.
  • Row crop cultivation is dominant in the country, accounting for about 84.9% of the Indian agricultural biologicals market in 2022. The country is promoting organic farming under the Parampragat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY) and the Mission Organic Value Chain Development for North East Region (MOVCD-NER). The demand for organic products in domestic and international markets is also expected to drive the Indian agricultural biologicals market during the forecast period.

Keyword Definition
Cash Crops​ Cash crops are non-consumable crops sold as a whole or part of the crop to manufacture end-products to make a profit.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM)​ IPM is an environment-friendly and sustainable approach to control pests in various crops. It involves a combination of methods, including biological controls, cultural practices, and selective use of pesticides.
Bacterial biocontrol agents​ Bacteria used to control pests and diseases in crops. They work by producing toxins harmful to the target pests or competing with them for nutrients and space in the growing environment. Some examples of commonly used bacterial biocontrol agents include Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Streptomyces spp.​
Plant Protection Product (PPP)​ A plant protection product is a formulation applied to crops to protect from pests, such as weeds, diseases, or insects. They contain one or more active substances with other co-formulants such as solvents, carriers, inert material, wetting agents or adjuvants formulated to give optimum product efficacy.​
Pathogen​ A pathogen is an organism causing disease to its host, with the severity of the disease symptoms.​
Parasitoids​ Parasitoids are insects that lay their eggs on or within the host insect, with their larvae feeding on the host insect. In agriculture, parasitoids can be used as a form of biological pest control, as they help to control pest damage to crops and decrease the need for chemical pesticides.​
Entomopathogenic Nematodes (EPN)​ Entomopathogenic nematodes are parasitic roundworms that infect and kill pests by releasing bacteria from their gut. Entomopathogenic nematodes are a form of biocontrol agents used in agriculture.​
Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM)​ VAM fungi are mycorrhizal species of fungus. They live in the roots of different higher-order plants. They develop a symbiotic relationship with the plants in the roots of these plants.​
Fungal biocontrol agents​ Fungal biocontrol agents are the beneficial fungi that control plant pests and diseases. They are an alternative to chemical pesticides. They infect and kill the pests or compete with pathogenic fungi for nutrients and space.​
Biofertilizers​ Biofertilizers contain beneficial microorganisms that enhance soil fertility and promote plant growth.​
Biopesticides​ Biopesticides are natural/bio-based compounds used to manage agricultural pests using specific biological effects.​
Predators​ Predators in agriculture are the organisms that feed on pests and help control pest damage to the crops. Some common predator species used in agriculture include ladybugs, lacewings, and predatory mites.​
Biocontrol agents​ Biocontrol agents are living organisms used to control pests and diseases in agriculture. They are alternatives to chemical pesticides and are known for their lesser impact on the environment and human health.​
Organic Fertilizers​ Organic fertilizer is composed of animal or vegetable matter used alone or in combination with one or more non-synthetically derived elements or compounds used for soil fertility and plant growth.​
Protein hydrolysates (PHs)​ Protein hydrolysate-based biostimulants contain free amino acids, oligopeptides, and polypeptides produced by enzymatic or chemical hydrolysis of proteins, primarily from vegetal or animal sources.​
Biostimulants/Plant Growth Regulators (PGR)​ Biostimulants/Plant Growth Regulators (PGR) are substances derived from natural resources to enhance plant growth and health by stimulating plant processes (metabolism).​
Soil Amendments​ Soil Amendments are substances applied to soil that improve soil health, such as soil fertility and soil structure.​
Seaweed Extract​ Seaweed extracts are rich in micro and macronutrients, proteins, polysaccharides, polyphenols, phytohormones, and osmolytes. These substances boost seed germination and crop establishment, total plant growth and productivity.​
Compounds related to biocontrol and/or promoting growth (CRBPG)​ Compounds related to biocontrol or promoting growth (CRBPG)​ are the ability of a bacteria to produce compounds for phytopathogen biocontrol and plant growth promotion.​
Symbiotic Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria​ Symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria such as Rhizobium obtain food and shelter from the host, and in return, they help by providing fixed nitrogen to the plants.​
Nitrogen Fixation​ Nitrogen fixation is a chemical process in soil which converts molecular nitrogen into ammonia or related nitrogenous compounds.​
