Frass Fertilizer market is driven by high organic fertilizer costs, rising organic product demand, insect-based fertilizer adoption, and food insecurity in low-income countries.
According to TechSci Research’s report, Frass Fertilizer Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2020-2030F, the global frass fertilizer market stood at USD 96.11 million in 2023. It is projected to experience steady growth through 2030, with a CAGR of 5.94%. The growth of this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for organic foods, the rise of insect farming for both food and feed, and the high costs of traditional organic fertilizers.
The insect farming industry has seen significant growth, driven by the increasing demand for insect-based products across various sectors, including agriculture. Insect farms not only produce fertilizers but also provide animal feed, food products, and pharmaceutical ingredients. The expansion of insect farming offers a sustainable and scalable source of insect-based fertilizers, which is helping to drive the market. Technological advancements and ongoing research in insect farming techniques are enhancing the production of insect-based frass fertilizers, making them more attractive to consumers.
Collaboration between insect farming companies, agricultural organizations, and research institutions further fuels the growth of the frass fertilizer market. These partnerships encourage knowledge sharing, research and development, and greater market penetration. Additionally, urbanization and limited arable land have led to the rise of urban agriculture, including rooftop farming. Frass fertilizers are compact and efficient, making them ideal for urban farming environments, further driving their demand.
Sustainable and organic farming practices are also contributing to the growing demand for frass fertilizers. Derived from insects, these fertilizers provide a natural, eco-friendly alternative to chemical fertilizers. They are rich in essential nutrients and offer a sustainable source of organic matter for plant growth. Farmers and consumers who prioritize sustainable farming methods are increasingly turning to frass fertilizers, which contribute to environmental sustainability by reducing the carbon footprint of traditional fertilizers.
The expanding market for organic and specialty crops, such as fruits, vegetables, herbs, and niche products, is another factor driving the demand for frass fertilizers. These crops require organic fertilizers to meet certification requirements. Frass fertilizers, with their sustainable characteristics, align well with the needs of organic crop producers. Moreover, they improve soil health by enhancing soil structure, moisture retention, and microbial activity, leading to more fertile and productive soil.
Frass fertilizers are versatile and can be applied in various agricultural settings, including field crops, horticulture, hydroponics, and container gardening. They can be used as top dressing, incorporated into the soil, or mixed into potting soils. Their compatibility with organic farming practices makes them a preferred choice for certified organic production systems, allowing farmers to maintain organic certification while using them.

Several start-up companies are emerging in the frass farming sector, harnessing the potential of insects for various applications. For example, Agtech startup Ÿnsect, based in Paris, raised $125 million in Series C funding in 2019. The company focuses on raising insects for fish feed, pet food, and organic plant fertilizers. Many other start-ups are contributing to the global growth of frass fertilizers, addressing environmental concerns and offering an alternative to traditional fertilizers.
The global frass fertilizer market is segmented by type, form, application, regional distribution, and company. In terms of type, the soldier fly is expected to dominate the market. The black soldier fly (BSF) produces a significant amount of insect frass, which is rich in organic matter and nutrients. BSF frass is increasingly used as a biofertilizer to restore soil fertility, making it one of the most widely reared insects for frass fertilizer production.
Regionally, North America is expected to lead the global frass fertilizer market. Countries like the United States and Canada have seen an increasing demand for organic products, including organic fertilizers. The organic farming movement and consumer preference for organic food have helped fuel the demand for frass fertilizers in these regions. Furthermore, government initiatives and certification programs supporting organic agriculture have contributed to market growth. Many start-ups in the region are also looking to expand their products internationally, as many countries rely on importing chemical fertilizers.

“The mass rearing of insects for utilizing organic waste to meet the rising demand for animal feed offers a way to manage organic waste that is also being used extensively for increasing soil fertility when used as frass fertilizer for farming. As an organic fertilizer, black soldier fly frass fertilizer (BSFFF) is gaining popularity all over the world. However, nothing is known about the studies on how it affects agricultural output. Long-term use of black soldier fly frass fertilizer is projected to minimize dependency on costly mineral fertilizers that have detrimental impacts on the health of the soil and the ecosystem.
Future research is essential to ascertain the short-, medium-, and long-term impacts of black soldier fly frass fertilizer on soil fertility across various agro-ecological zones and cropping systems. The launch of different insect-based frass fertilizer by the start-up is also boosting the demand and use of fertilizer over chemical fertilizers and the cost-effectiveness of the frass fertilizer is also expected to boost the market of global frass fertilizer market in the upcoming years.,” said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director with TechSci Research, a research-based management consulting firm.
