Biocontrol Agents Market 2024 Analyzed in New Research Report

Biocontrol Agents Market Drivers and Challenges
Report 2024: Global Market Insights Inc.
Global Biocontrol Agents Market size is escalating and is anticipated to attain a healthy CAGR during
the forecast period. Prevailing diseases hinder the quality and plant production which is usually
controlled by using chemical agents including herbicides and pesticides. However, pests have attained
resistance against pesticides due to consistent use for an extended period.
Increasing awareness among consumers for using contamination free food has developed organic
substitutes in the market to inhibit the pest’s growth. They have the tendency to replace chemical
agents use leading to decreasing emissions in the environment and henceforth resulting in lesser soil
and water pollution. Prolonged use of pesticides and herbicides also impacts the soil fertility. It is likely
to have positive influence on the industry share over the projected timeframe.
The product comprises of organisms that assist the farmers in pest control to improve the crop
productivity. They are capable of combating with a wide variety of pests including arthropods,
weed killers and microorganisms. They are extensively employed to control pest in fruits &
vegetables, cereals, pulses fields, etc. Furthermore, the product has wide-ranging applications
including seed treatment, on-field application and post-harvest. Flexibility in using the product
to control pest in fields is expected to drive biocontrol agents market size by 2024.
Unawareness of product amongst the key consumers in the market is likely to hamper the
biocontrol agents market size in the coming years. Furthermore, sufficient availability of other
effective pest control methods has disrupted the reach of product to its potential customers,
which is expected to hinder the biocontrol agents market size by 2024. However, stringent
regulations imposed by government to reduce chemical agents use for pest control owing to its
adverse impact on environment such as decreasing soil fertility and toxic emissions release into
water. It is probable to generate plentiful opportunities for biocontrol agents market size over
the projected timespan.
Biocontrol agents market size is segmented based on crop which includes cereals & grains,
fruits & vegetables, pulses and others. Fruits & vegetables has attained the highest market size
over the past many years owing to higher demand across the globe. In addition, prevailing
demand for cereals & grains primarily in Asia Pacific is expected to drive the biocontrol agents
market size during the forecast period.
Based on active substances, the biocontrol agents market size is segmented into macrobials,
microbials and entomopathogenic nematodes. Microbials are further divided into bacteria,
fungi and virus whereas macrobials include parasitoids, predators and weed killers. They have
the tendency to replace the use of chemical based pesticides and herbicides and will
subsequently propel the biocontrol agents market size by 2024.

In terms of target pest, the biocontrol agents market size is segmented into arthropods,
microorganisms and weed. Wide range of product in the market are employed in controlling
variety of pest growth in plants to enhance crop productivity without impacting environment.
Lesser product impact in the market compared to conventional methods of using pesticides is
projected to stimulate the biocontrol agents market size by 2024.
Based on application, the biocontrol agents market size is divided into seed treatment, on-fields
application and post-harvest. Extensive use of product at every stage of crop production to
enhance productivity is expected to positively influence the biocontrol agents market size in
the coming future.
North America holds the highest business share due to necessary awareness and acceptance
amongst farmers which is anticipated to stimulate the biocontrol agents market size during the
forecast period. Europe industry share is expected to propel significantly owing to stringent
regulations imposed by European Commission regarding chemical pesticides use and
subsequently encouraging product demand to reduce hazardous environmental implications
Asia Pacific industry share is projected to escalate in the coming future due to increasing
awareness for contamination free food among consumers. In addition, shifting focus from toxic
pesticides use to biocontrol agents will effectively contribute towards biocontrol agents market
size in the coming years.
