This Biopesticides market report covers market characteristics, size & growth, segmentation, regional & country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.
The biopesticides market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $7.35 billion in 2024 to $8.75 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in awareness about the environmental and health impacts, increase in government regulations, expansion of organic farming, investments in research and development, rise in disposable income.
The biopesticides market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $17.21 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rise in agriculture sector, growing global population, rising demand for hygiene and quality food, economic growth. Major trends in the forecast period include precision agriculture integration, digital technologies, market consolidation and partnerships.
The biopesticides market is anticipated to experience growth, propelled by the increasing demand for organic food. The COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to a surge in the demand for organic food, as consumers perceive it as a healthier option with potential immune-boosting benefits. Biopesticides, derived from toxins found in living organisms, serve as effective solutions against pests without harming the plants themselves. This characteristic makes biopesticides a preferred choice in organic crop production, reducing soil pollution and erosion. For instance, in 2023, the Organic Trade Association reported that organic food sales in the United States surpassed $60 billion in 2022, marking a significant milestone and indicating a robust organic sector. The upward trend in the demand for organic food is expected to drive the growth of the biopesticides market.
Growing demand for agriculture is anticipated to drive the expansion of the bio-pesticides market in the coming years. Agriculture involves the cultivation and management of land, plants, and animals to produce a diverse array of food, fiber, and other products essential for sustaining and improving human life. While biopesticides offer various benefits, their effectiveness can depend on several factors, including pest species, environmental conditions, and application methods. For example, in June 2024, according to a report from the government of Canada, total wheat production for 2023-2024 is projected to be 31.95 million metric tons, with an expected increase to 34.35 million metric tons in 2024-2025. Thus, the rising demand for agriculture is fueling the growth of the bio-pesticides market.
In the biopesticides market, technological advancement stands out as a key trend. Manufacturers of biopesticides are leveraging new technologies to develop innovative bacterial strains for the biological control of pests and plant diseases. For example, in February 2021, Ballagro Agro Technology Ltd., a Brazil-based agricultural company, launched the biopesticide Acera based on Embrapa technology. Acera is a biopesticide formulated by combining two isolates of Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) bacteria. BT bacteria produce proteins that are toxic to insects but harmless to humans and other animals, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical pesticides. The technology involves spraying the substance on leaves, where caterpillars are affected upon ingestion. This technological advancement is expected to contribute to the efficacy and sustainability of biopesticides in crop protection.
In the biopesticides market, major companies are focusing on developing innovative technologies, such as Atlox BS-50, to drive market revenues. Atlox BS-50, launched by the UK-based chemical company CRODA in September 2023, serves as a ready-to-use powder delivery system designed for spore-forming microbes. This innovative technology streamlines the formulation process by requiring only the addition of the microbe to create the final product, reducing formulation development time. The components of Atlox BS-50 are meticulously optimized by Croda's scientists to deliver optimal performance. Viability testing ensures compatibility with common microbes, enhancing its versatility for various applications.
