Market Dynamics
The growing interest in organic food is driving the market
The biopesticides market has been growing faster than its chemical counterparts owing to rapidly growing consumption in organic farming practices. The enormous demand for farm produce owing to the rising population led to extensive use of agrochemicals that increase yield. However, widespread use of these chemicals resulted from an adverse impact on the environment and living species. Thus, the need for all-natural agricultural inputs poised globally, leading to the growth of biopesticides. Biopesticides evolved as an integral part of sustainable agriculture by ensuring organic claim to the produce. Rapidly growing farming trends such as organic farming, indoor farming, and precision farming will support the growth of biopesticides. Furthermore, the increasing crop resistance to synthetic pesticides is motivating farmer communities towards novel biopesticide formulations.
However, the high cost of biopesticides over conventional pesticides is the primary factor hindering the growth of the global biopesticides market. Also, limited scientific evidence towards the efficacy of biopesticides over certain pests, crop categories, and climatic conditions is restricting the adoption of biopesticides
Market Segmentation Analysis
Bioinsecticides is leading in the global biopesticides market
The global biopesticides market is segmented based on product type into bioinsecticides, bioherbicides, bio fungicides, bio nematicides, and others. Bioinsecticides evolved as the largest segment owing to the large-scale demand for insecticides in agriculture. Insects have been the most widely affecting pest category globally and resulting in huge economic damages. Regulatory restrictions on several synthetic insecticide groups will propel the growth of the bioinsecticides market. The sales revenue of bioinsecticides amounted to USD XX million in 2020 which is nearly XX% of the global biopesticides market. Microbial insecticides derived from single-cell organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa are the largest category by origin in the bioinsecticides market.
Market Geographical Share
The United States is dominating the global bioinsecticides market
North America is the largest market for biopesticides accounting for over 45% of the global sales revenue in 2019. The early adoption of biopesticides in the U.S. and large-scale utilization across farms in the U.S. and Canada led to market growth in the region. The demand for organic food products has been rapidly growing in the region with consumer awareness towards the adverse health effects of synthetic agrochemicals. This has motivated the farm producers towards the use of biological inputs. Also, the stringent regulatory environment surrounding the pesticides industry led to the growth of biopesticides. Asia Pacific region surpassed Europe as the second-largest regional market with a revenue share of over 25% in 2019. With significant potential for penetration in Indian and Chinese farms, the biopesticides market is witnessing significant growth potential in this region.
