The global agricultural biologicals market size is estimated to account for a value of USD 8.8 billion in 2020 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 13.6% to reach a value of USD 18.9 billion by 2028. Increasing incidences of pest outbreaks in crops, rise in awareness & demand for supreme quality yield from the farm produce, and development of pest resistance are some of the prominent factors that are contributing to the expansion of the market. The exploitation of the environment due to the overuse of crop protection chemicals is fostering the demand for agricultural biological products. 

Agricultural biologicals are projected to play an important role in catering to the growing demand for organic products across the world. High adoption of this technology is not only limited to protecting crops and increasing the crop yield significantly but also an assurance of sustainable farming and maintenance of long-term soil fertility achieved by using natural resources. However, the limited availability of quality products is expected to suppress the agricultural biological market growth.

Key Findings
