Biopesticides Market Worth $9.61 Billion by 2028 -- Exclusive Report by Meticulous Research®

Over the last decade, agricultural yields have increased tremendously through the extensive application of chemicals that have long-lasting and profound effects on the environment and human beings. Higher and advanced productive agricultural materials are a requirement to fulfill the food demand of the growing population. Therefore, the use of biopesticides has increased significantly across the globe.

Biopesticides are compounds formulated to specifically affect target pests and other related organisms by biological means. Being economically viable, eco-friendly, and easy to use, biopesticides can create a suitable alternative for synthetic pesticides in crop protection. Increasing pests, diseases, fungal infections, and weeds have affected crop yields. To curb these problems, biopesticides obtained from microorganisms and other biological agents play a vital role in minimizing and controlling pest infestations.

The growth of this market is backed by the increasing investment from leading crop protection companies, growing awareness about environmental safety, higher crop quality and yield with the use of biopesticides, growing organic farming & demand for organic food, and rising government initiatives.

Moreover, the huge agricultural diversity and arable land in emerging countries, including Asia-Pacific and Latin America, is expected to offer significant growth opportunities for players operating in the biopesticides market. However, factors such as lack of awareness & low adoption rate of biopesticides and low shelf-life & inconsistent performance are expected to hinder the growth of this market to a certain extent.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Biopesticides Market

The COVID-19 pandemic adversely hit many economies around the globe. Complete lockdown and quarantine to fight COVID-19 adversely impacted many industries globally, including agriculture and crop protection. In the agriculture sector, the biopesticides market registered a strong slowdown in sales in the first quarter of 2020, mainly due to the disturbance in logistics and transportation. Along with logistics and transportation, the biopesticides market registered interruptions in the entire sector's value chain from raw materials supply to manufacturing, packaging, and distribution.

COVID-19 resulted in the movement restrictions of workers, a decline in demand from farmers, and the closure of production facilities. The industry also suffered severe labor shortages due to repeated lockdowns that affected the production and trade movements. The decline in business for a few initial months in 2020, coupled with lower demand from a few major markets, put pressure on the profitability of biopesticides manufacturers and vendors.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on this market were felt in China starting 2020, as the country is one of the world's largest raw material suppliers for the biopesticides industry. Most European and North American biopesticide companies import key active ingredients used in producing biopesticides, mainly from China and other Asian countries. With the crisis being persistent, it suggested low availability of raw materials as the cropping season progressed. This created a scarcity of products in high-growth markets, such as the U.S., Brazil, Spain, and Italy.

Therefore, a complete halt on the transportation and logistics industry and reduced production in some countries due to lockdowns worldwide adversely affected the global biopesticides market in terms of volume sales in 2020 and 2021.

Growing Awareness About Environmental Safety Fuels the Growth of the Biopesticides Market

Biopesticides provide growers with valuable tools on both fronts by delivering highly effective solutions in managing pests and diseases without creating negative impacts on the environment, and their active and inert ingredients are generally recognized as safe. Besides the microbial content, carrier media for formulating biopesticide consist of several organic materials, such as animal broth, organic materials, or organic waste products. The media is a biodegradable material. Biopesticides support the stability and sustainability of the agroecosystem because they do not negatively affect the environment.

Apart from impacts on humans, pesticides cause significant damage to the environment. There have been many cases around the world that freshwater used for agriculture is getting polluted with harmful pesticides, causing serious damage to the fauna and flora of the freshwater. Therefore, many environment-friendly organizations, such as Environmental Protection Agency, have been opposing pesticides. For instance, a recent study conducted by researchers at the Public Health Institute, the California Department of Health Services, and the UC Berkeley School of Public Health found a six-fold increase in risk factors for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) for children of women who were exposed to organochlorine pesticides. All these factors have a positive effect on the growth of the global biopesticides market.

Biologicals are always safer and easier on the environment than chemical products. Biopesticides are often formulated to only affect the target pest and closely related organisms (selective) in direct contrast to chemical pesticides, which frequently offer broad sweeping coverage (non-selective) that will negatively impact insects, birds, and anything else that comes in contact with them. Biopesticides contain natural organisms or products, therefore pose less threat to the environment and human health. Biopesticides have attracted attention in pest management in recent decades and have long been promoted as prospective alternatives to synthetic pesticides. Although biopesticide use at a global scale is increasing by almost 10% every year, the global market must increase further in the future if these pesticides play a visible role in substituting for chemical pesticides and reducing the current overreliance on them.

Hence, increasing environmental and public health hazards due to chemical pesticides and growing awareness about environmental safety with the use of biopesticides, fuelling the growth of the biopesticides market across the globe.
