The global certified organic agricultural inputs market is projected to reach $24 billion by 2032, growing at a robust CAGR of 15.2% during the forecast period of 2025-2032.

Certified Organic Agricultural Inputs Market Size & Forecast

According to the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL) and IFOAM – Organics International's "The World of Organic Agriculture" annual report, certified organic farmland is growing at an annual rate of 7.2% and currently represents over 74.9 million hectares worldwide. In 2024, the market reached a valuation of approximately $7.9 billion, indicating significant growth potential as organic agriculture continues to expand globally.

Growing consumer demand for organic food products, which are expected to reach $324 billion by 2032, is the main driver of this market expansion. The Food and Agriculture Organization's (FAO) "Status of the World's Soil Resources" report states that 33% of the world's soils are currently moderately to highly degraded, causing environmental concerns about soil health degradation to worsen and drive farmers to implement sustainable practices. Significant government assistance has also been provided; under the Common Agricultural Policy, EU subsidies for organic farming have increased by 56% since 2020, and the USDA's Organic Transition Initiative shows that the agency increased organic transition support programs by $300 million in 2023.

Certified Organic Agricultural Inputs Market Growth Drivers

Consumer preferences have changed as a result of growing awareness of the negative effects of chemical inputs; according to Nielsen's Global Health and Ingredient Sentiment Survey, 64% of consumers worldwide now prioritize pesticide-free production when making food product purchases. All categories of certified organic inputs have seen market expansion as a result of this awareness, with biostimulants showing the fastest rate of growth during the forecast period.

According to regional analysis, strict regulations and high consumer demand will propel Europe to be the largest market in the global certified organic agricultural inputs market in 2025. According to Eurostat's Agricultural Statistics, the area's organic farmland increased by 5.7% in 2023 alone. Asia-Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest-growing region through 2032, driven by the rapid development of the organic sector in China and India, where government initiatives have allocated $750 million and $420 million, respectively, to the development of organic farming since 2022, according to the China Organic Food Development Center and India's Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare.
