Furthermore, these regulations can help in increasing the demand for botanical pesticides, as they are considered organic pesticides as they are derived from plants and other minerals, they are easily biodegradable and considered to be safe for humans and animals. Hence, such factors can help in increasing the market growth.

High Product Cost

The high product cost of botanical pesticides is indeed a significant restraint for the botanical pesticides market. The extraction of active compounds from plant sources can be a labor-intensive process and also requires special equipment which can contribute to higher production costs. Specialized equipment and skilled labor are often required for efficient extraction.

Segment Analysis

The global botanical pesticides market is segmented based on type, active substance, crop type, source, form, distribution channel, mode of application, application, and region.

Increase in Demand for Effective Pest Management

The fungicide can be used in a wide range of crops, as they are derived from natural plant sources, easily biodegradable than many synthetic, helps in effectively controlling fungal diseases in plants, also often leave lower residues on crops. Also, the use of these fungicides an integrated disease management strategy can help reduce the development of resistance in fungal populations.

Furthermore, as the demand for these products is increasing among consumers, manufacturers are launching innovative products in their portfolios, to expand their market sizes. For instance, in May 2020, Summit Agro USA announced Regev, is the first hybrid fungicide for US agriculture. Regev contains tea tree oil and difenoconazole to offer growers of a variety of crops effective disease control while reducing chemical usage and enhancing plant growth and yield. Hence, such products can help in increasing the popularity of these botanical pesticides.

Geographical Penetration

Organic Farming, and Government Initiatives

Asia-Pacific has been a dominant force in the global botanical pesticide market and its significant growth. As organic farming and production are high in this region, farmers are highly adopting these botanical pesticides, as they are derived from plants, they show fewer residues on the crops which makes them a safer option for both farmers and consumers.

Furthermore, the demand for organic farming is increasing, for instance, according to the National Programme for Organic Production (Npop) of 2022-23, the organic cultivation area of India is 1764677.15 Ha, and the production of organic products in India is 2664679.54 MT. Hence, the boosting demand for organic products can help in increasing the market for botanical pesticides.

Additionally, the government in this region also provides some schemes to help the farmers adopt these botanical pesticides and to promote the bio-pesticides and fertilizers market. For instance, the government of India has provided a ParamparagatKrishiVikasYojana (PKVY), assistance of Rs. 50,000 per hectare for 3 years is provided, out of which 31,000 INR (62%) is given to the farmers directly through DBT, for inputs (bio-fertilizers, bio-pesticides, vermicompost, botanical extracts, and others) production/ procurement, post-harvest management, and others.
