[198 Pages Report] The Biological Control Agents Market size was estimated at USD 4.59 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 5.27 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 15.11% to reach USD 12.31 billion by 2030.
Biological control agents are organisms used to manage or suppress populations of pest species that are harmful to agriculture, forestry, or natural ecosystems. These agents can include a variety of living organisms, such as predators, parasitoids, pathogens, or competitors that naturally regulate pest populations. Using other living organisms, biological control controls pests, including insects, mites, weeds, and plant diseases. Environmental concerns and the negative impact of chemical pesticides on ecosystems have fueled the demand for biological alternatives, and increasing consumer awareness and preference for organic products contribute to an uptick in market demand. However, the relatively slow action of biological agents compared to chemical pesticides can deter users from seeking immediate results. Nevertheless, developing new and more effective strains of biocontrol agents specific to certain pests or diseases with technological advancements in biotechnology and the broader availability of biological control agents through improved distribution channels are expected to create potential opportunities for market growth.
Regional Insights
In American countries, numerous universities and private organizations are conducting research on improving the efficacy and delivery systems for biological control agents. Furthermore, the focus in these countries is on developing new strains of biological agents and innovative application technologies, with significant investment seen in biotech firms and government support for sustainable agriculture further bolstering the market. In addition, initiative programs such as the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Organic Agriculture Research and Extension Initiative promote the use and research of biological control agents. The market for biological control agents is bolstering in the EMEA region due to its stringent regulations on chemical pesticides. The European region has seen a rise in patents concerning biological control formulations and targeted delivery systems. On the other hand, sustainable desert agriculture in the Middle East and the need to combat invasive species in Africa underscore the market potential for biological control agents. Furthermore, international collaborations, such as those under the FAO’s umbrella, support local agriculture with biological control methodologies. The Asia Pacific region, guided by agrarian economies, has witnessed a surge in the use of biological control methods due to increased awareness and the necessity for sustainable agriculture to feed its vast populations. These nations are registering patents focused on microbial pesticides and novel plant-incorporated protectants.
