The agriculture biologicals testing market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The agriculture biologicals testing market will grow from $2.67 billion in 2024 to $2.89 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 8.3%.
Growth factors include population increases, the rising adoption of agricultural biologicals, heightened food safety awareness, greater demand for natural foods, and the use of integrated pest management.
The agriculture biologicals testing market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The agriculture biologicals testing market is forecast to grow to $3.93 billion by 2029, with a CAGR of 8.0%.
Growth is attributed to organic food consumption, eco-friendly alternatives, high-quality food demand, synthetic chemical usage, and sustainable soil health management. Major trends include technological advancements, digital integration, product innovations, enhanced test capabilities, and genetic engineering.
The increasing popularity of organic farming is expected to promote the growth of the agricultural biological testing market. Organic farming uses natural inputs and practices to grow crops and raise livestock, driven by health, environmental, ethical, and economic factors. Agricultural biologicals support organic farming by offering sustainable solutions for pest control, soil fertility, and crop productivity. For example, in May 2023, the UK’s Department of Environment Food & Rural Affairs reported that the area under organic farming in the UK increased by 0.4% from 2021 to 2022. This rising interest in organic farming is fueling the agricultural biological testing market.
