China Agricultural Biologicals Market Trends

Crop Nutrition is the largest Function

• Crop nutrition inputs accounted for about 87.1% of the Chinese agricultural biologicals market in 2022. In the crop nutrition segment, organic fertilizers are the most consumed biological inputs in the country. The dominance of organic fertilizers is mainly due to their application in bulk quantities both in organic and conventional farming.
• Manure dominates the country's organic fertilizers market, valued at USD 1.42 billion in 2022. Manure is conventionally used as a primary fertilizer both in organic and non-organic cultivation and is known to increase organic matter and carbon content in the soil, which would increase the nutrient uptake of the crop and, thus, the grain yield. The manure segment is followed by the other organic fertilizers segment, which includes fertilizers like fish guano, bat guano, fish emulsion, vermicompost, molasses, and other composted fertilizers. The other organic fertilizers segment was valued at about USD 832.2 million in 2022.
• Biocontrol agents dominated the crop protection segment, with a share of 52.8% in 2022. Macrobial biocontrol agents dominated the Chinese biocontrol agents market, valued at about USD 279.2 million in 2022. The domination of macrobial biocontrol agents is mainly due to their ability to control various pests.
• Predators dominate the macrobials segment of the Chinese biocontrol agents market mainly due to their ability to attack different life stages of pests and even different pest species. They are also voracious feeders compared to other biocontrol agents. The predators sub-segment accounted for about 47.4% of the macrobials segment of the Chinese biocontrol agents market in 2022.
