Biopesticide Market By Type (Microbial Pesticides, Biochemical Pesticides, and Plant-Incorporated-Protectants), By Application (Insect Control, Weed Control, Plant Disease Control, and Others), Industry Trends, Estimation & Forecast, 2023-2030

Market Overview

Biopesticide is a type of pesticides derived from such natural materials as animals, plants, bacteria, and certain minerals. Biopesticides are mass-produced, biologically based agents used for the control of plant pests. They are living organisms or naturally occurring substances, such as plant extracts or insect pheromones. Biopesticide are eco-friendly to the environment as it provides nutrients to the soil as well as crops.

The Biopesticide market was valued at 6.2 billion US$ in 2022 and is projected to reach 18.7 billion US$ by 2030, at a CAGR of 14.8% during the forecast period.

Biopesticide Market Revenue by 2022-2030

Market Dynamics

Increasing investment for innovative solutions to pest management is the key driving factors of the market. For instance, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has invested $11 million in research focused on applying innovative solutions to pest management problems. The investment is made through the Minor Crop Pest Management Program known as Interregional Research Project, IR-4. Four universities across different U.S. growing regions will lead regional IR-4 programs that will generate data for registration of bio-based crop and conventional protection technology for specialty and minor crops in the United States in 2019. Moreover, The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) has funded $4 million to support research and extension efforts to mitigate pest issues and increase crop protection practices for the agricultural community. The funding was used to support projects that will address pest management efforts for both conventional and organic production systems in 2016. However, Shorter Shelf Life of Biopesticides might hamper the market growth. Biopesticides have shorter shelf life compare to conventional pesticides. For some of the Biopesticides, the shelf life is measured in weeks. Increasing Growth in Bio-Control Seed Treatment Solutions would provide lucrative opportunities for the market in the coming years.

Market Segmentation

The global Biopesticide market is mainly classified based on Type, Application. Type is further segmented into Microbial Pesticides, Biochemical Pesticides, Plant-Incorporated-Protectants. Microbial Pesticides is dominating the global Biopesticide market. Microbial pesticides naturally occurred or genetically altered bacteria, algae, fungi, protozoans or viruses. The Microbial pesticides are non-toxic and non-pathogenic to non-target organisms and provide safety. Microbial pesticides are non-hazardous and are safe for all time, even close to harvesting periods of crops. Microbial pesticides are used in many habitats where chemical pesticides are prohibited. Such habitats include recreational and urban areas, near homes and schools in agricultural settings, and lake and stream borders of watersheds. According to the American Academy of Microbiology, microbial solutions improve plant health and increase crop productivity by 20% and reduce fertilizer and pesticide requirements by 20% within 20 years. By Application, the market is further divided into Insect Control, Weed Control, Plant Disease Control, Others.

Regional Analysis

Based on geography, the global Biopesticide market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, and Middle East & Africa. North America is further divided in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, whereas Europe consists of the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Rest of Europe. Asia-Pacific is segmented into India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific. The South America region includes Brazil, Argentina, and the Rest of South America, while the Middle East & Africa is categorized into GCC Countries, Egypt, South Africa, and Rest of Middle East & Africa.

North America is dominating the global Biopesticide market due to the commercialization of new products, increasing investment by the regulatory bodies to conduct research on biopesticides for crop protection, and competitive advancement by the companies to expand their business on a global scale. For instance, Certis USA has collaborated with Bayer to distribute Requiem biopesticide products and bio-nematicide MeloCon WG across the United States.

Competitive landscape

Key players operating in the Biopesticide industry include Valent BioSciences, Certis USA, BASF, Bayer, Isagro, Marrone Bio Innovations, Neudorff, Bioworks, Koppert.

Formation of strategic collaborations and commercialization of products are the few business strategies adopted by the key companies, with a focus on maintaining a competitive advantage over others. For instance, on September 16, 2019, Marrone Bio Innovations Inc. have acquired Finland-based Pro Farm Technologies OY, adding proprietary nutrient and biostimulant technology and products for seed and foliar treatments to its portfolio. The move was completed for an agreed enterprise value of $31.8 million.
