• The rising preference for organic produce and sustainable farming practices is impelling the growth of the market.
• Government regulations and initiatives aimed at promoting sustainable agriculture are propelling the market growth.

Industry Trends and Drivers:

● Increasing Demand for Organic and Sustainable Farming Practices:

The growing concern of consumers towards organic foods and eco-friendly techniques is driving the market. With the growth of knowledge of many people about the effects of synthetic chemicals on the environment and health, cultivation of organically grown crops is increasing as they usually use natural methods for pest control and soil management. Promising and revolutionary microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, and viruses can be used as biopesticides/biopesticides, biofertilizers, and biostimulants in organic farming. These microorganisms help in increasing crop yields, increasing soil fertility, and reducing the use of chemical fertilizers and chemicals. The growing consumption of organic products by users is proving to be beneficial for the growth of the market mainly due to the awareness about the use of organic products and the growing supportive policies on eco-friendly agriculture.

● Regulatory Support and Government Initiatives:

Market drivers include strict government policies and programs that support the green agricultural revolution in the industry. This has rationalized the measures being adopted by many governments around the world to curb the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Such regulations have provisions for incentives that farmers can use to go green, such as soil and crop enhancing agricultural microorganisms. In addition, government-sponsored research and development initiatives are putting pressure on the pace and progress of developing microbial products for commercial use. In addition, to make these microbial solutions available and affordable to farmers, farmers are given subsidies for the use of these products. Mandatory and legal measures to somehow reduce the use of chemicals and government incentives towards environmentally friendly products are the driving forces of growth.

● Advancements in Microbial Research and Biotechnology:

Recent developments in microbiology and biotechnology are also helping to drive the market. Due to recent advances in genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics, there has been a boom in understanding microbial-plant interactions and identification of better successional microbial mutants. These innovations are also helping to develop crop-, soil- and climate-specific microbial application technologies, which enhance effectiveness and applicability among growers. Also, development of technology in the fermentation sector and manufacturing methods is helping to enhance shelf-life, stability and commercial geometry in microbial products.
