Agriculture Biologicals Testing Market Report 2026

The agriculture biologicals testing market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.88 billion in 2025 to $3.11 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rise in biological product development, increasing regulatory requirements, early adoption of biofertilizers, growing concerns over synthetic chemicals, rise in field trials and validation studies.

The agriculture biologicals testing market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.03 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of bio-based agriculture, increasing global regulatory harmonization, rising investment in testing infrastructure, growth in outsourced contract research, increasing demand for high-quality biological inputs. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for standardized biological product testing, rising focus on environmental safety and ecotoxicity assessments, growth in multi-stage field evaluation for biological efficacy, expansion of outsourced biological testing services, increasing adoption of bio-based crop inputs driving testing needs.

The agriculture biological testing market is poised for growth due to the rising adoption of organic farming. Organic farming, characterized by natural inputs and practices, is gaining favor due to health, environmental, ethical, and economic considerations. This trend reflects broader societal shifts towards sustainable and health-conscious lifestyles. Agricultural biologicals are pivotal in supporting organic farming by offering natural and sustainable solutions for challenges such as pest control, soil fertility, and crop productivity. For example, in February 2024, the IFOAM (International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements), a Germany-based international organization, reported that the global area under organic farming grew by 2.5 million hectares in 2023, reaching nearly 99 million hectares. During the same period, global sales of organic food increased to around 136 billion euros. Thus, the growing preference for organic farming is a key driver of the agriculture biological testing market's expansion.

Major companies in the agriculture biological testing market are concentrating on developing innovative products such as insecticide/bio fungicide premixes. These aim to improve the accuracy, efficiency, and scalability of testing processes, ensuring the safe and effective application of biological products in agriculture. An insecticide/bio fungicide premix combines insecticide and bio fungicide in a single formulation, offering broad-spectrum control of insects and diseases in crops. These products typically contain synthetic and biologically active ingredients, providing multiple modes of action for effective pest management. For example, in November 2023, FMC Corporation, a US-based agricultural sciences company, introduced Xyway LFR, a new insecticide/bio fungicide premix. This product combines flutriafol and bifenthrin to protect against early-season insects and diseases in corn. Xyway LFR features a unique liquid fertilizer-ready (LFR) formulation, facilitating easy mixing with liquid fertilizers. It can be applied in-furrow or as a 2x2 band during planting, offering growers a convenient and effective solution for managing pests and diseases in their corn crops.

In January 2023, Sumitomo Chemical, a Japan-based chemical company, completed the acquisition of FBSciences Holdings, Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition significantly expanded Sumitomo Chemical's biorational business, particularly in biostimulants. FBSciences Holdings, Inc., headquartered in the US, specializes in providing agricultural biological testing products and technologies.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are affecting the agricultural biological testing market by raising costs for imported laboratory equipment, reagents, and analytical instruments required to conduct high-precision testing. Regions with high dependence on imported testing technologies such as Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and parts of Europe are particularly impacted, especially in regulatory testing, analytical testing, and field support services. However, tariffs may also drive the development of domestic testing capabilities, promote local manufacturing of laboratory tools, and strengthen regional research networks, supporting long-term market growth and resilience.

Agricultural biological testing involves evaluating and assessing the effectiveness, safety, and quality of biological products utilized in agriculture. This process employs diverse scientific methodologies to ensure these products adhere to regulatory standards, perform effectively in their intended roles, and do not pose environmental, human, or non-target organism risks.

The primary types of products subjected to agricultural biological testing include biopesticides, biofertilizers, and biostimulants. Biopesticides are natural substances or organisms designed to control pests through methods such as damage, killing, or repelling. They find application across field support, regulatory compliance, and analytical sectors, serving various end-users such as biological product manufacturers, government agencies, plant breeders, and outsourced contract research organizations.North America was the largest region in the agriculture biologicals testing market in 2025.
