What is the Historic and Current Scenario of the Biocontrol Market?
The biocontrol market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•Rapid expansion has been observed in the biocontrol market size in the past few years. It is projected to increase from $7.04 billion in 2024 to $8.22 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.8%.
The impressive growth during the historic period can be credited to factors including rising environmental awareness, regulatory support and compliance, increased consumer preference for organic goods, resistance against chemical pesticides, and the global spread of agriculture.
What are the Forecasted Growth and Key Factors of the Biocontrol Market?
The biocontrol market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the ensuing years, the biocontrol market size is projected to witness a swift expansion. The market is anticipated to surge to "$15.27 billion by 2029, boasting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.8%.
The expansion during the forecast period is due in part to the persistent emphasis on sustainability regulations, a growing appetite for products that are both organic and non-GMO, the effects of climate change on pest behavior, a concentration on precision farming, and the enduring resistance to chemical insecticides. Key trends for the forecast period encompass a surge in demand for sustainable farming, progress in biotechnology, rigorous laws on chemical pesticides, an upswing in organic farming approaches, and the incorporation of digital technologies.
What Main Forces Are Fueling Expansion In The Biocontrol Market?
The biocontrol market is anticipated to expand due to an increase in pest infestations. These infestations, characterized by the presence and fast spreading of pests that harm crops, livestock, or other species, are primarily driven by factors such as intensive farming, urbanization, climate change, poor pest control methods, and swift shifts in land use. Biocontrol products are specifically developed to manage these pest populations more sustainably. For example, the Direct Line Group, a UK-based insurance firm, reported a significant increase in residential call-outs for cockroaches and bedbugs in 2023. The number of bedbug-related visits as reported by councils rose by 23%, from 11,819 in 2022 to 14,587. Similarly, cockroach-related calls increased by 3%, from 8,455 to 8,706 visits in the same duration. Hence, the escalating number of pest infestations is predicted to stimulate the growth of the biocontrol market.
