Global Biopesticides Market – Drivers and Forecasts by Technavio
LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#AgrochemicalsandFertilizers—Technavio
analysts forecast the global
biopesticides market to grow at a CAGR of more than 17%
during the forecast period, according to their latest report.
The research study covers the present scenario and growth prospects of
the global
biopesticides market for 2017-2021. The market is segmented
based on product (bioherbicides, biofungicides, bioinsecticides,
and bionematicides) and geography (North America, Europe, APAC, Latin
America, and ROW)
The global biopesticides market is expected to grow with the increasing
worldwide population, which will lead to a higher demand for food. Also,
the rising awareness of the benefits of organic products, especially
among the rapidly growing younger generation in emerging economies, will
have a positive impact on the growth of the market. More crop
cultivation by farmers will drive the requirement of more biopesticide.
Increasing population and urbanization are the two main factors that
intensify the competition among manufacturers and at the same time pave
the way for more players to enter the market.

Increase in pest activities due to global warming
An increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations increase simple
sugars present in leaves and even reduces the nitrogen content. These
changes in the environment can increase the damage caused by insects
that consume more number of leaves just to meet their metabolic
requirements of nitrogen. Higher temperatures due to global warming can
provide suitable conditions for pests to survive the winter season.
Kurva Samba Sivudu, a lead agrochemicals
and fertilizers research analyst at Technavio, says, “Global
warming and climatic changes have drastic effects at various levels, for
example, they increase the geographical spread of pests and pathogens,
new species in cooler regions, increased risks by migration of pests,
reduction in effectiveness of crop protection technologies, and a higher
probability of developing pest resistance. These adverse effects are
driving the demand for biopesticides that can adapt to changing climatic
conditions easily and can sustain changes more often.”
Improved biological pest control methods
Botanical pesticides are chemicals that are derived from plants and are
used in similar ways as conventional pesticides. They can occur
naturally like pyrethroids from chrysanthemum flowers or can be
synthesized like nicotine from tobacco. Naturally occurring botanicals
are more popular because of their natural sources.
“Insect growth regulators are chemicals that affect insect growth and
are available as naturally occurring hormones or synthesized compounds.
Insects follow a phenomenon of shedding and growing outer layers of
their skin through a process called molting. IGRs interfere with this
molting process. Even though mammals exhibit low toxic levels to these
insecticides, they affect crabs, shrimps, and other molting animals.
However, non-targeted impacts have raised concerns leading to strict
regulations on the usage of IGRs,” adds Kurva.
Demand for organic products
Rising health concerns and increasing awareness of the health benefits
of organic food are enhancing the growth of the global biopesticides
market. The increase in income levels leading to better standards of
living and government initiatives are other factors driving this
market’s growth. Consumer behavior has shifted toward health
consciousness resulting in the change of preferences and tastes.
Organic food is produced using reusable resources that limit the use of
harmful pesticides and chemicals in food products. It is usually
observed that organic farming is practiced in small, family-run farms,
where utmost importance is dedicated to the quality of soil and water
ensuring fertile lands even for future generations. Crop rotation is
another farming technique followed to retain soil fertility. This form
of farming lowers the toxic load on the environment. These factors are
influencing government authorities to fund organic farming practices and
are even attracting many private players into this field.
