Biorational Pesticides Market Report 2026

The biorational pesticides market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $7.54 billion in 2025 to $8.52 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to restrictions on conventional pesticides, increasing pest resistance issues, growth of organic crop cultivation, rising consumer demand for safe food, availability of natural pest control alternatives.

The biorational pesticides market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.01 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of sustainable agriculture adoption, increasing investments in green agrochemicals, rising demand for residue-free produce, growing focus on precision pest management, increasing adoption of biorational solutions in emerging markets. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of target-specific pest control products, rising demand for botanical and microbial pesticides, growing use in integrated pest management programs, expansion of low-residue crop protection solutions, enhanced regulatory acceptance of biorational products.

The increasing environmental concerns are expected to drive the growth of the biorational pesticides market in the coming years. Environmental concerns include issues such as natural resource depletion, pollution, climate change, and other factors that threaten ecosystems and human health. Biorational pesticides play a key role in addressing these concerns by providing sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives, reducing the impact of conventional pesticides, and promoting environmentally responsible agricultural practices. For example, in December 2023, the School of Sustainability at Stanford University, a US-based institution, reported that global carbon dioxide emissions are projected to exceed 40 billion tons in 2023, marking a 1.1% increase compared to 2022. Therefore, rising environmental concerns are supporting the growth of the biorational pesticides market.

Major companies in the biorational pesticides market are concentrating on developing innovative products, such as biorational pesticide formulations, to support apple growers in Himachal Pradesh, J&K, and Uttarakhand by improving the quality of their produce and broadening export opportunities. Biorational pesticide formulations are pest control products derived from natural materials or biological processes that are relatively non-toxic to humans and the environment, specifically designed to target certain pests while minimizing harm to beneficial organisms. For example, in March 2023, Sumitomo Chemical India Ltd., an India-based chemical company, launched Promalin, an innovative biorational product. This formulation enhances apple quality by promoting fruit set and reducing drop rates, thus helping growers achieve higher yields. Its importance lies in empowering apple producers in northern India, ensuring superior produce and increasing the region's export potential.
