Global Biopesticides Market Synopsis

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The Biopesticides market experienced a detrimental effect due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused supply chain hiccups that have reduced demand or created shortages in the biopesticide sector. Spending by consumers and businesses has decreased significantly as a result of the travel restrictions and social distancing measures, and this trend is expected to persist for some time. The epidemic has altered end-user trends and tastes, leading manufacturers, developers, and service providers to implement several measures in an attempt to stabilize their businesses.

Global Biopesticides Market Dynamics

The major factors that have impacted the growth of Biopesticides are as follows:

Drivers:

⮚      Advancements in Biotechnology

Advances in biotechnology have facilitated the development of more effective and economically viable biopesticides. Techniques such as genetic engineering and microbial fermentation enable the production of biopesticides with enhanced potency, specificity, and stability, driving market growth.

 Restraint:

• Limited Availability of Commercial Products

Despite the increasing demand for biopesticides, the range of commercially available products remains relatively limited compared to synthetic pesticides. Developing and commercializing biopesticides requires substantial investment in research, development, and regulatory compliance, which may be prohibitive for smaller companies or startups. As a result, farmers may face challenges in accessing a diverse range of biopesticide options tailored to their specific pest management needs.

Opportunity:

⮚      Increasing Demand for Sustainable Agriculture

Growing awareness among consumers about the environmental and health impacts of chemical pesticides has fueled the demand for sustainable agricultural practices. Biopesticides, derived from natural sources, offer an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional pesticides, aligning with the preferences of consumers and regulators for safer and more sustainable farming practices.

Biopesticides Market Segment Overview

By Source

Based on the Source, the market is segmented based on Microbials, Biochemical, Beneficial insects and Others The biopesticides market segment is experiencing rapid growth due to increasing demand for organic food products and growing concerns regarding chemical pesticide residues in food. With a focus on sustainable agriculture practices, biopesticides offer environmentally friendly alternatives derived from natural substances like plants, microorganisms, and minerals.

By Crop Type

Based on Crop Type, the market has been divided into Cereals & grains, Oilseeds & pulses, Fruits & vegetables and Others. Given that vegetables are among the crops that are grown most intensively globally and are frequently more sensitive to pests and illnesses than other crops, the vegetable segment retained the biggest market share in 2022. For vegetable growers, biopesticides can offer sustainable and efficient pest management solutions that also lower the possibility of residues in the finished product.

By Application

Based on the Application, the market has been divided into Foliar spray, Soil treatment, Seed treatment and Others. Since soil application has the greatest potential for long-term pest management, it held the largest market share in 2022. Biopesticides sprayed on the soil can continue to work for weeks or months, giving ongoing defense against diseases and pests that are carried by the soil.

By Type

Based on Type, the market has been divided into Bioinsecticide, Bio fungicides, Bio nematicides, Bioherbicides and Others. When it came to the income generated by biopesticides in 2022, the bioinsecticide segment accounted for the majority. The usage of bioinsecticides has increased as a result of rising agricultural productivity and growing pest resistance. A lot of insect pests are known to impair plant growth and crops after harvest or while they are being stored, which results in agricultural loss.

Global Biopesticides Market Regional Analysis

Based on region, the market has been divided into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. The area of North America is anticipated to dominate the market for the usage of Blister Packaging, followed by those in Asia-Pacific and Europe.

North America Market

The North American region holds a dominant position in the Biopesticides market. North America is the market leader. The market for biopesticides in North America is being driven by two factors: the growing interest in ecologically friendly agricultural practices and the loss of many conventional products as a result of reregistration and/or performance concerns. Today, the development and/or marketing of biopesticide products is carried out by more than 60 companies in the US alone. Product development has also led to an increase in the market for biopesticides.

Asia Pacific Market

The Asia-Pacific region is witnessing rapid growth and emerging as a significant market for the Biopesticides industry The demand for organic food, growing worries about the effects of chemicals on the environment, and the availability of a simplified registration process are the primary factors driving the anticipated high compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of the Asia-Pacific biopesticides market from 2022 to 2030. In addition, the biopesticide market in China had the most market share, while the biopesticide market in India had the quickest rate of growth in the Asia-Pacific area.
