The global synthetic fertilizer market, valued at approximately USD 200 billion in 2024, faces declining marginal returns despite increasing application rates. Concurrently, the biofertilizer market is projected to expand from USD 1.4 billion (2024) to USD 2.8 billion by 2030 (CAGR ~13 %). Integrated nutrient management systems combining mineral fertilizers with microbial inoculants represent an emerging technological frontier aimed at improving nutrient use efficiency, environmental sustainability, and soil health restoration. This review critically examines market dynamics, technological innovations, and practical challenges in developing integrated fertilizer-biofertilizer products, with a specific focus on microbial coating technologies for granular and liquid fertilizers. A comprehensive literature review covering 2020–2025, analyzing peer-reviewed publications, market reports, and field trial data from commercial applications was conducted. Search strategies employed multiple databases focusing on phosphate-solubilizing bacteria, nitrogen-fixing microorganisms, coating technologies, and integrated nutrient management systems. Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) demonstrate consistent field efficacy, increasing wheat yields by 14–85 % while enhancing soil available phosphorus up to 33 %. Meta-analyses confirm biofertilizer yield increases of approximately 10–40 % across diverse crops and environments. Granular fertilizers coated with microbial inoculants through post-granulation spray coating at 2–5 L·t–1 achieve microbial densities of 106–108 CFU g–1 with reported shelf-life stability exceeding 12 months. However, technological barriers persist: conventional  granulation processes involve temperatures (60–90 °C) that inactivate microorganisms, necessitating post-granulation application strategies. Liquid fertilizers create chemically aggressive environments (pH 7–10, high salinity) that are hostile to long-term microbial survival, though short-term tank-mix compatibility (2–8 hours) enables immediate field application. Recent advances include the use of biopolymer matrices (chitosan, xanthan gum), metal-phenolic networks, and industrial-scale spray-coating systems, which demonstrate commercial viability while maintaining cost-competitiveness. Integrated fertilizer-biofertilizer systems offer substantial potential for sustainable intensification, enabling 20–30 % reductions in synthetic fertilizer application without yield penalty. Commercial viability depends on resolving formulation stability challenges through advanced coating technologies while maintaining cost-competitiveness. The convergence of controlled-release fertilizer technology with microbial inoculant delivery represents a promising pathway for nextgeneration nutrient management systems, with projected market potential within this segment reaching USD 5–6 billion by 2030.
