Biopesticides Market

Premium Insights:

The global Biopesticides Market is valued at USD 8.6 Billion in 2024 and is projected to reach a value of USD 40.3 Billion by 2035 at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 15.10% between 2025 and 2035. The demand for biological pesticides rises as organic food and agriculture spread around the globe, fueling the expansion of the Biopesticides Market. Farmers worldwide are increasingly using biopesticides to minimize crop deterioration caused by chemical pesticides, as well as to address growing environmental concerns. Consumers are supporting alternatives to chemical-based agriculture as they become more aware of the chemicals used in food production and the possible risks of chemical residue on their health.

Hazardous chemical pesticides can be categorized as teratogenic (can cause congenital disabilities), neurotoxic (can damage the brain), or carcinogenic (can cause cancer) based on their possible effects on human health (can cause damage to a fetus). This is encouraging farmers to practice organic farming, which in turn is increasing the demand for biopesticides. Furthermore, agro-product advancements, such as plant extract-based and essential oils solutions, aid in disease control. They can potentially improve the efficacy of biopesticides for integrated pest management (IPM) programs for a wide range of crops worldwide. This drives the Biopesticides Market's expansion.

Synthetic fertilizers and pesticides are known to leave a hazardous residue that can disrupt the microbial balance, pollute the soil, and lower the concentrations of biocontrol agents. To minimize the harm of fungicides and disease-causing microorganisms, extremely effective b fungicides have been developed due to technological breakthroughs.

Bio Fungicides are living creature formulations that limit the activity of harmful plant fungi and bacteria. In addition, the opportunities for the biopesticides market have been created by increased investments in developing a strong agriculture industry. The demand for more productive cash and food crops is anticipated to drive growth in the Global Biopesticides Market.

It is projected that the non-toxic properties of biopesticides, along with their inherent capacity to improve soil fertility, will expand their market share globally. Additionally, the availability of agricultural research and development courses at various colleges and research organizations greatly increases public knowledge of biopesticides, driving the growth of the Biopesticides Market. However, factors like poor shelf-life & inconsistent performance, low shelf-life & low acceptance rate of biopesticides are anticipated to partially restrain the growth of the Biopesticides Market. Additionally, due to the lower manufacturing costs of synthetic pesticides, the growth of the Global Biopesticides Market could be constrained during the forecasted period.

Market Segmentation:

The Biopesticides Market is segmented based on Crop Type, Formulation Type, Source, Mode of Application, Product, and Region. Based on the Crop Type, the market is segmented as Cereals and Grains, Oilseeds and Pulses, Fruits and Vegetables, and Others (Including Nursery and Turf). In addition, based on the Formulation Type, the market is further bifurcated into Liquid Formulation and Dry Formulation. Furthermore, based on the Source, the market is further divided into Microbial Pesticides, Biochemical Pesticides, and Plant-Incorporated Protectants. In addition, based on the Mode of Application, the market is further bifurcated into Seed Treatment, Soil Treatment, Foliar Spray, and Other Modes of Application. Additionally, based on the Product, the market is bifurcated into Bioinsecticides, Bio Fungicides, Bioherbicides, Bionematicides, and Others (including Plant Growth Regulators).

Based on Crop Type:

The Fruits & Vegetables category dominated the market in 2024

The Fruits & Vegetables category is anticipated to experience the fastest growth during the forecast period. Farmers are under pressure to switch to a sustainable agricultural practice due to the shift in eating patterns. The cost of growing fruits and vegetables is rising, and the demand for biopesticides is rising because of the massive infestation of Fruits & Vegetables in greenhouses and open fields. Additionally, farmers are implementing the usage of Biopesticide in conjunction with conventional chemicals to meet the export demand for residue-free crops. As global consumer food habits change, farmers in many nations are converting to sustainable farming practices. The sector is increasing due to rising interest in eating healthily and rising demand for organic fruits and vegetables. Therefore, the growing popularity of organic foods is encouraging farmers to use biopesticides.

Based on Product:

Bio Fungicides category dominated the market in 2024

The Bio Fungicides segment is anticipated to represent the highest share of the Global Biopesticides Market in 2024. Bio Insecticides are being more widely used due to rising pest resistance and a revival in agricultural production. Many insect pests are known to harm plant growth and crops after harvest or while in storage, which causes agricultural loss. The infestation brought on by insect pests also lowers the crops' marketability. The need for alternative solution approaches to control invasive pests is driven by regulatory bans and the phase-out of essential active components. As a result, Bioinsecticides that do not harm pests' natural adversaries, pollute the environment, or leave residues in products are widely used. Another element that has increased acceptance is the simplicity of producing Bio Fungicides.

Based on Regional Analysis:

North America had the Largest Share in 2024

North America accounted for the largest share of the market in 2024. Synthetic crop protection chemicals are subject to strict rules and regulations to safeguard the environment from unfavorable consequences, driving the regional market. The intense hunt for greener crop inputs drives the product's sales in the local market. Farmers are being pushed to use biological crop protection inputs by the requirement to meet international export standards. Farmers in this region are also being prompted to use biopesticides by rising customer demand for organic food and worries about residue levels in food. The North American region is home to numerous significant biopesticide producers, stimulating interest in and funding for biological crop protection products. Strong government laws and a thriving organic business promote organic farming practices in the area. Additionally, the demand for biopesticides in the U.S. will increase as more are used in greenhouses there.
