What Is Covered Under Agricultural Biologics Market?

The agricultural biologicals are used to safeguard plants against pests, improve yield and prevent diseases. Agricultural biologicals refer to microorganisms or biochemical derived from naturally occurring microorganisms, plant extracts, insects, or other organic matter. It is combined with synthetic crop protection products as an integrated management solution. Agricultural biologics aims to provide a holistic approach for growers to maximize crop yields, improve quality, and minimize pest resistance. The main types of agricultural biologicals are biopesticides, biofertilizers, and biostimulants. Biopesticides are biological pesticides that are derived from biological materials such as plants, animals, bacteria, and certain minerals. These are derived from microbials, macrobials, biochemicals, other sources and applied by foliar spray, soil treatment, seed treatment, and post-harvest mode of application. The various applications include cereals and grains, oilseed and pulses, fruits and vegetables, turf and ornamentals, and other applications.

What Is The Agricultural Biologics Market Growth Forecast?

The agricultural biologics market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $33.51 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of precision agriculture adoption, rising demand for sustainable yield enhancement solutions, increasing investment in biological R&D, growing acceptance of biological inputs among farmers, innovation in formulation technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of bio-based crop protection solutions, rising demand for integrated pest management inputs, growing use of microbial-based products, expansion of residue-free farming practices, enhanced focus on soil health improvement.

What Is The Driver Of The Agricultural Biologics Market?

The increasing incidences of pest outbreaks contributed to the growth of the agricultural biologics market. Pest outbreaks refer to an increasing sporadic and large population of pests that are economically harmful to crops and human beings. Due to pest outbreaks, the threats to crops cause 10–40% losses to major food crops such as corn, wheat, and rice cost to the global economy. The pests cause damage to crops and significantly impair growers' productivity and destroy cropland. For instance, in May 2023, an article published by Springer Nature Limited, a Germany-based provider of publishing services the annual crop yield loss caused by pathogens and pests alone is estimated at US$220 billion, directly impacting food security, regional economies, and other linked socio-economic aspects. Hence, increasing pest outbreaks is driving the growth of the agriculture biologics market.
