In the field of biopesticides, various types of pesticides are derived from natural materials, including animals, plants, bacteria, and certain minerals. Biopesticides are natural and biological substances that effectively manage a broad spectrum of agricultural pests present in forests, gardens, and farmlands. This category encompasses plant-incorporated protectants, biochemical pesticides, and microbial pesticides.
The primary classifications of biopesticides include bioinsecticides, biofungicides, bionematicides, bioherbicides, and others. Bioherbicides, for instance, are utilized to control weeds in an environmentally friendly manner. Bioherbicides have no adverse effects on soil fertility or crop quality. Biopesticides derive from various sources, such as microbials, biochemicals, and beneficial insects, and are available in liquid and dry formulations. They are applied through different modes, including seed treatment, soil treatment, foliar spray, and others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are impacting the biopesticides market by increasing costs of imported microbial strains, fermentation equipment, formulation inputs, and specialized packaging materials. Agricultural markets in North America and Europe are most affected due to dependence on imported bio-inputs, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on export-oriented biopesticide production. These tariffs are raising product prices and affecting adoption among small-scale farmers. However, they are also supporting local bio-manufacturing, regional production facilities, and innovation in indigenous microbial solutions.
The biopesticides market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides biopesticides market statistics, including biopesticides industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a biopesticides market share, detailed biopesticides market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the biopesticides industry. This biopesticides market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The biopesticides market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $8.69 billion in 2025 to $10.29 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing awareness of chemical pesticide impacts, expansion of organic farming practices, rising adoption of eco-friendly crop inputs, growth of sustainable agriculture initiatives, availability of microbial formulations.
The biopesticides market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $19.67 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing regulatory restrictions on chemical pesticides, rising demand for organic food production, expansion of precision agriculture practices, growing investments in bio-based crop protection, increasing adoption in emerging agricultural markets. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of biological pest control solutions, rising use of microbial-based crop protection, growing demand for residue-free crop inputs, expansion of integrated pest management practices, enhanced focus on soil health protection.
The rising demand for organic food is expected to drive the growth of the biopesticides market going forward. Organic food is produced without synthetic pesticides, chemical fertilizers, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), or artificial additives, following environmentally sustainable farming practices. This demand is largely fueled by growing consumer awareness of health benefits, environmental sustainability, and the preference for safer, chemical-free food. Biopesticides support organic food production by offering natural, eco-friendly crop protection that preserves soil health and complies with strict organic farming standards. For instance, in May 2023, the Organic Trade Association, a US-based organization, reported that total organic sales, including non-food products, reached $60 billion in 2022 and surged to a record $67.6 billion by 2023, reflecting strong growth in the organic sector. Therefore, increasing demand for organic food is propelling the biopesticides market.
Key companies in the biopesticides market are developing innovative solutions, such as ready-to-use powder delivery systems, to improve application efficiency and enhance crop protection performance. A ready-to-use powder delivery system is a pre-formulated, easy-to-apply powdered biopesticide that requires no additional preparation. For example, in September 2023, CRODA, a UK-based chemical company, launched Atlox BS-50, a ready-to-use powder delivery system for spore-forming microbes. Only the addition of the microbe is required to complete the final product, reducing formulation time. Components of Atlox BS-50 were optimized by CRODA's scientists for maximum performance and tested for microbial compatibility, providing versatility in use.
In July 2023, Biobest Group, a Belgium-based agricultural technology company, acquired BioWorks for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Biobest aims to expand its global biocontrol and pollination solutions portfolio, strengthen its presence in North American and European markets, and enhance its technological capabilities in sustainable crop protection. BioWorks is a US-based agricultural technology company specializing in biopesticides.
