Biopesticides Market Report

The global Biopesticides market is expected to benefit from the shifting preference of the end users from chemical pesticides to Biopesticides. Benefits associated with Biopesticides such as lower development costs, less toxic nature, pesticide resistance management, effective control of insect’s plant disease, and residue-exempt are driving their demand. Biopesticides or biological pesticides are an eco-friendly substitute for chemical pesticides. They encompass biochemicals obtained from micro-organisms and various other natural sources, and processes. They offer an effective solution to pest problems, along with less threat to the environment as well as human health.

The Biopesticides market is undergoing a number of product launches. For instance, Stargus, a novel Bacillus Biofungicide, was launched by a key company, called Marrone Bio Innovations Inc. It has been approved for usage in Mexico by the Ministry of Health COFEPRIS.  The key application of this product lies in controlling downy mildews, late blight, and a broad range of other plant related diseases on zucchini, squash, watermelon, chayote, melon, cucumber, and potato crops.

New product launch – a key strategy among players

Some of the key manufactures operating in the Biopesticides market are BASF SE, Valent U.S.A. LLC, Bayer CropScience AG, Certis USA L.L.C., Marrone Bio Innovation, The Dow Chemical Company, Isagro S.P.A., Monsanto Company (Part of Bayer), Camson Bio Technologies Limited, Andermatt Biocontol AG, Invivo Agrosciences, Som Phytopharma India Limited, Novozymes, Inc., Syngenta, International Panaacea Ltd, W. Neudorff GMBH KG, The Stockton Group, BioWorks, Inc., Koppert B.V., and FMC.

Market players are taking up acquisitions and new product development in order to strengthen their position in the Biopesticides market. For instance, The Stockton Group, one of the key companies, has launched Timorex Gold to prevent fungal and bacterial plant diseases in vineyards. This plant-based biofungicide is well suited for integrated conventional and organic production. Moreover, it is safe for humans, animals, beneficial insects, and bees. It is also harmless to the ecosystem, soil, and groundwater.

High demand for quality food to boost market growth

Surge in the demand for quality food due to growing population is a key factor driving the Biopesticides market. Ecological imbalance due to usage of synthetic and chemical pesticides and their adverse impacts are driving people to switch to Biopesticides. Low costs associated with Biopesticides and reducing number of cultivable lands are some of the factors supporting the Biopesticides market growth to a great extent. Improvement in integrated pest management (IPM) practices is expected to bode well for the market. However, low awareness among crop producers regarding Biopesticides is a major factor curbing the Biopesticides market growth.
