Biofertilizers are substances that contain living microorganisms or latent cells. Biofertilizers are made from biological wastes and do not contain any chemicals. The National Center of Organic Farming (NCOF) defines biofertilizers as “products containing carrier-based (solid or liquid) living microorganisms, which are agriculturally useful in terms of nitrogen fixation, phosphorus solubilization, or nutrient mobilization, to increase the productivity of the soil and/or crop.
 
Biofertilizers are cheap and are applied in small dosages, in comparison with chemical fertilizers. Besides affecting the crops directly, they increase the population of soil microorganisms. They also secrete plant hormones, which favor germination and root growth.
 
Among the three types of biofertilizers covered in this study, nitrogen-fixing biofertilizers are used for leguminous and non-leguminous crops. They are used to grow other crops as well, especially rice and sugarcane. On the other hand, phosphate solubilizing & mobilizing biofertilizers secrete organic acids and lower the pH in the nearby soil, which dissolves the phosphates in the soil. Potash solubilizing & mobilizing biofertilizers are used in various crops such as wheat, cotton, paddy, barley, and sorghum. They are also used for vegetables such as potatoes, eggplants, cauliflowers, cabbages, and onions, besides being used for flowers and medicinal crops.
 
Biofertilizers are used as an alternative to chemical fertilizers for crop protection and to increase soil fertility. These biofertilizers are found either in liquid form or with the help of carriers—solid form. The choice of the formulation is based on effective and easy application, end-user requirements, and equipment availability. A large number of factors that can affect the economic feasibility of biofertilizers include the purpose, market requirements, variability of field performance, cost of production, and several technological challenges, including fermentation, formulation, and delivery systems.
 
 

The North American market is projected to dominate the market due to the rising demand for organic products, increasing acceptance of biofertilizers among rural farmers, and high adoption of advanced irrigation systems such as drip & sprinkler irrigation for fertigation. A stringent regulatory environment in addition to a growing preference for the usage of biofertilizer products has led to the favorable growth of the market. Industrialization, mining, and urbanization have led to a decrease in arable land in North America.

The rapidly growing environmental and sustainability concerns across the globe and government initiatives to reduce the use of plastics are driving the market for water soluble packaging.
 
Water Soluble Packaging Market
 
 
The food & beverage and agriculture in industrial segment are projected to witness the significant growth during the forecast
 
Based on end use, the water soluble packaging market is segmented into industrial and residential, wherein industrial segment is sub-divided into pharmaceuticals, food & beverages, agriculture, chemicals, and water treatment. The food & beverages and agriculture segments are projected to witness significant growth during the forecast period due to the increasing concerns toward waste production due to high use of non-biodegradable plastics and their harmful effects on packaged food & beverages.
 
In the agriculture industry, chemical fertilizers wrapped with water soluble packets ease out the handling process. Also, dissolved packaging of the fertilizers cut down the packaging waste generation and leads to reduced cleaning costs.
 
The pouches segment is accounted to have the major share in the water soluble packaging market during the forecast period
 
By packaging type, the water soluble packaging market is segmented into pouches, bags, and pods & capsules. The pouches segment is estimated to account for the major share in the water soluble packaging market due to the high usage of water soluble packaging in the chemical industries. In the current scenario, most of the packaging is made of plastic for safe and secure handling and usage of detergent; water soluble packaging of detergent serves the purpose better. Detergent wastage can be minimized as water soluble packets or sachets can be made available to consumers for household and industrial cleaning. The water soluble packaging avoids direct contact with detergent as the product can be used without removing the package, which will ensure safe usage.
 
 
The Asia Pacific region is projected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period
 
The water soluble packaging market in Asia Pacific is projected to witness high growth due to the strong local and export demand. The rising population and growing number of manufacturing industries in Asia Pacific is the key factor driving the market for water soluble packaging. The manufactured product is used domestically as well as exported. China and Japan are the hubs for water soluble film production. In India, the population is increasing rapidly, and the country is striving for safe, better, clean, and healthy lifestyle. The water soluble packaging market will grow in these regions at a high rate.
