The global biopesticides market size was US$ 7987.4 million in 2021. The global biopesticides market size is forecast to reach US$ 25770.5 million by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.9% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2030.
Biopesticide refers to pesticides made from natural resources, such as plants, animals, bacteria, and minerals. A biopesticide is a natural substance that controls pests (biochemical pesticides), a pest-controlling microbe (microbial pesticide), or a biochemical substance that regulates plant growth. Plant physiology and productivity can improve by using biopesticides in agricultural practices for insect control, disease control, weed control, nematode control, and nematode control. Biopesticides do not harm non-target organisms, including beneficial insects and wildlife. In addition, many biopesticides are also biodegradable. They decompose quickly and do not harm surface or groundwater.
Factors Influencing Market Growth
Impact Analysis of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the food and beverage industries worldwide. COVID-19 led to labor mobility restrictions, the closure of production plants, and a decline in demand for products, which hampered the market's expansion. In addition to logistics and transportation, the biopesticides market experienced interruptions in all phases of its value chain, from raw materials to manufacturing, packaging, and distribution. Additionally, this industry experienced severe labor shortages caused by lockdowns that disrupted manufacturing and trade operations. Due to low cash flow on the market, farmer demand for biopesticides declined in 2020. Thus, placing pressure on profit margins for biopesticide manufacturers.
Regional Insights
The Asia Pacific held the majority share of the global market in 2021 and is forecast to remain dominant throughout the forecast period. As a result of the presence of agricultural operations in Asia-Pacific and the availability of different microbial and predator biopesticides designed for different pests, insects, and contaminants, the market is growing in this region. The growing agricultural sector in the Asia Pacific drives the demand for biopesticide products. This leads to growth in the market.
