Beneficial Insects Market Size is valued at 967.35 million in 2024 and is predicted to reach 3090.83 million by the year 2034 at a 12.4% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
Beneficial insects support pollination and occasionally serve as organic pesticides, which benefits organic food and sustainable farming. The services that beneficial insects provide assist agricultural, horticultural, and other ecosystems by pollinating plants, lowering pest populations, and enhancing the health of our ecosystem. Beneficial insects that are large or gigantic in size are known as microbial. In addition to enhancing the ecological diversity of overall ecosystem settings, beneficial insects shield plants and crops against harmful insect pests. These insects are used as pest control alternatives made from organic materials or as pollinators to boost crop yields.
A few of the factors pushing the expansion of the global market for beneficial insects include the unfavourable effects of chemical pesticides on the environment, rising demand for organic food, and increased awareness of sustainable agriculture. The sector is expanding as a result of advances in insect-rearing techniques, R&D projects, and supportive government regulations for the use of biological control agents. The market for beneficial insects is expanding due to rising demand for food security due to a growing population, improving demand for organic food items, and the advantages of beneficial insects.
The Beneficial Insects market is categorized on the basis of type, crop type, and application. Based on type, the market is segmented as Parasitoids, Pollinators, Pathogens, and Predators. Crop Type segment includes Flowers & Ornamentals, Fruits & Vegetables and Grains & Pulses. The applications segment includes Crop Production and Crop Protection.
Because predators are market leaders and consume a huge number of prey (pests/insects) over the course of their existence or evolution, they hold a sizable portion of the market share. They capture and consume other animals like insects and mites. Ladybirds, carabines, lacewings, hoverflies, aphid midges (Aphidoletes), and bees are among the predators.
The crop protection category is projected to grow rapidly in the global Beneficial Insects market because beneficial insects are crucial in avoiding pests, illnesses, and weeds due to the rise in demand for organic food items. These helpful insects are frequently employed as biological control agents to safeguard crops from pests that can harm plant health and yield while destroying a variety of crops.
North America dominates the market for beneficial insects due to the region's adoption of IPM techniques and growing consumer awareness of the advantages of organic products. Because environmental concerns are growing in the region, Asia-Pacific is predicted to experience strong development from 2021 to 2028. The country part of the beneficial insect market research also highlights important market-impacting variables and domestic market regulatory changes that impact the market's current and future developments. Furthermore, Asia Pacific is expected to develop rapidly in the global Beneficial Insects market. After China, India is the country with the greatest market for insect feed.
The FAO estimates that traditional feeds like soybean and maize account for 60% of the overall cost of farming livestock in India. As a result of rivalry between humans and livestock for these resources, attention is now being turned towards producing grasshopper diets for agricultural animals in the nation to reduce production costs and close the demand-supply gap of feedstuffs, including maize and soybean.
