Wednesday 21 September 2016, Amsterdam

The report, now available on ASDReports, "Agricultural Biologicals Testing Market by Product Type (Biopesticides, Biofertilizers, Biostimulants), Application (Field Support, Analytical, Regulatory), End User, and Region - Global Forecast to 2021", The agricultural biologicals testing market is projected to reach USD 1.12 Billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 10.4% from 2016. The market is driven by factors such as increasing cultivation of organic crops, growing number of regulations, and awareness regarding sustainable agriculture.

The biopesticides segment is projected to be the fastest-growing  during the period 2016–2021

The biopesticides segment is projected to be the fastest-growing product type to be tested in this market due to a shift towards the use of these products from traditional agrochemicals that degrade soil quality. Biopesticide testing services help product developers to ensure efficiency and reliability of their products. Therefore, in major biologicals manufacturing countries such as the U.S. and China, there is a growing market for biopesticide testing.

Field support is the major application segment in the agricultural biologicals testing market

Field support accounted for the largest share, by application, of agricultural biologicals testing in 2015. Under this category, field trials are conducted to test for efficacy, toxicity, and stability. Analytical testing services accounted for the second-largest share in 2015, primarily due to the high expenditure on research & development activities by biological product manufacturers.

European and North American regions dominated the agricultural biologicals testing market in 2015

The European region was the largest market for agricultural biologicals testing in 2015. Countries such as Germany, France, the U.K., and Italy are prominent users of agricultural biologicals testing services for compliance requirements of biopesticides, biofertilizers, and biostimulants. Countries in the North American region, such as the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, have been early adopters of agricultural biological products and cater to export markets. With growing awareness among farmers regarding the benefits of using agricultural biologicals instead of traditional pesticides, which have long-term toxic effects on crop and soil, the demand for and supply of testing services are growing.
