Global Biopesticides Market Size is valued at USD 7.6 Bn in 2024 and is predicted to reach USD 18.6 Bn by the year 2034 at a 9.5% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
The biopesticides market is a rapidly growing sector of the agrochemical industry that includes products derived from natural sources such as plants, bacteria, and fungi. Biopesticides are an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional synthetic pesticides, as they offer targeted pest control and minimal negative impact on non-target organisms and the environment.
The increasing demand for organic food, growing awareness about the harmful effects of synthetic pesticides on human health and the environment, and favorable government regulations promoting the use of biopesticides are the key drivers of biopesticides market growth. The biopesticides Industry is a promising sector with tremendous growth potential, driven by increasing consumer awareness of health and environmental concerns and the need for sustainable agricultural practices.
However, biopesticides are often more expensive than synthetic pesticides, which can make them less accessible to farmers, especially in developing countries where farmers may have limited financial resources.
The Biopesticides market is segmented based on type, crop type, formulation, source, and mode of application. Based on type, the market is categorized into Bioinsecticides, Biofungicides, Bionematicides, Bioherbicides, and Other Biopesticides. Based on crop type, the market is categorized into cereals & grains (corn, wheat, rice, and other cereals & grains), oilseeds & pulses) soybean, sunflower and other oilseeds & pulses), fruits & vegetables (root & tuber vegetables, leafy vegetables, pome fruits, berries, citrus fruits, other fruits & vegetables) and other crop types. Based on formulation, the market is categorized into liquid (emulsifiable concentrates, suspension concentrates, soluble liquid concentrates) and dry (dry granules, water-dispersible granules and wettable powders). Based on source, the market is categorized into microbial, biochemical and beneficial insects. Based on the mode of application, the market is categorized into seed treatment, soil treatment, foliar spray and other modes of application.
The liquid formulations are anticipated to dominate the biopesticides market. Liquid formulations offer several advantages over other formulations, such as ease of application, uniform distribution, and better penetration of plant tissues, which can lead to improved pest control. In addition, liquid formulations are easier to mix and apply than other formulations, such as dust or granular formulations, and this can help farmers save time and labor costs. Furthermore, liquid formulations can be customized to target specific pests or diseases, improving their effectiveness in controlling and minimizing the impact on non-target organisms.
Microbial biopesticides are anticipated to dominate the biopesticides market in terms of end-users during the forecast period. Regulators favor microbial biopesticides because they are safe for human health and the environment. This has led to favorable government policies and increased research and development. Furthermore, the increasing demand for organic and sustainable food production practices is expected to drive the microbial biopesticides market expansion in the coming years. Overall, the advantages of microbial biopesticides, coupled with the growing demand for sustainable agriculture practices, are expected to drive the microbial biopesticides market demand in the coming years.
North America is currently the dominant biopesticide market and is expected to maintain its position in the coming years. The region is home to several major biopesticide manufacturers and has a well-established regulatory framework supporting its development and use. Canada is another significant market for biopesticides in North America, driven by the growing demand for organic and sustainable agricultural practices. The Canadian government has also implemented several policies and programs to promote the use of biopesticides, such as the Pest Management Regulatory Agency's Biopesticides Program. Overall, the well-established regulatory framework, growing consumer demand for organic and natural foods, and favorable government policies are expected to continue to drive the growth of the biopesticides market in North America in the coming years.
