The Biopesticides Market has seen noticeable growth in recent years, with:
• An increase from $7.35 billion in 2024 to $8.75 billion in 2025, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.0%.
This robust growth can be largely attributed to heightened awareness about the health and environmental impacts of chemical pesticides, the growth of organic farming, stricter government regulations, investments in research and development, and a rise in disposable income.
The biopesticides market is predicted to experience fast-paced growth in the coming years.
• The market is projected to grow to $17.21 billion in 2029, marking a CAGR of 18.4%.
The expected growth can be largely attributed to the expansion of the agriculture sector, a growing global population, increasing demand for hygiene and quality food, and economic growth. The market is expected to witness emerging trends like the adoption of precision agriculture, digital technologies, and strategic market consolidation and partnerships.
One of the leading drivers propelling the biopesticides market forward is the rising demand for organic food. During the COVID-19 pandemic, organic food demand surged as consumers sought healthier options to boost their immunity. Biopesticides, made from toxins found in living organisms that are harmful to pests but not harmful to the plants themselves, reduce soil pollution and erosion. This makes them a popular choice in organic crop production. For instance, the Organic Trade Association reported that organic food sales in the U.S. broke through $60 billion for the first time in 2022, reaching a new high mark for the resilient organic sector, further emphasizing the key role this factor plays in driving the biopesticides market.
