According to the Market Statsville Group (MSG), the Global Botanical Biopesticide Market size is expected to project a considerable CAGR of 6.7% from 2024 to 2033.
The market for botanical biopesticides is expanding rapidly because of the growing consciousness about environmentally friendly agricultural practices and a burgeoning market for organic food. Also referred to as plant based non synthetic materials used in controlling pests are botanical biopesticides that partially mitigate environmental and health complications caused by synthetic chemical pesticides. Some of these factors include availability of stringent regulation to chemical pesticide usage, consumers shift towards residue crops and the general negative influence which synthetic pesticide poses to the environment. Botanical derivatives widely being used include neem, pyrethrum, rotenone and essential oils which are effective in controlling pests, fungi, and weeds. It is also supported by an improvement in extraction and formulation technologies, which improve the yields and utilization of these markets. The Asia-Pacific is the largest consumer of fertilizers because of its vast agricultural industry which has high demand for fertilizers, North America and Europe are also showing an increasing demand for fertilizers. The market for botanical biopesticides is expected to maintain a consistent upward trend because of the increasing demand for safer pest control products among farmers and agrochemical firms.
Botanical biopesticides are those products containing plants and some of its parts such as leaves, seeds, flowers, flowers and oils. These include rearrangement of nature-based pest control methods compared to synthetic pesticides to manage pests and weeds, fungi and affect the environment and healthless populations. Such plants include neem, pyrethrum and rotenone; they are cheap, environmentally friendly and give satisfactory results in the protection of agricultural crops and in the promotion of organic farming.
The organic food consumption is the most influential factor for the botanical biopesticide market because it is a more healthy product free from chemicals and other potential hazards. Organic farming involves the use of natural materials, and inputs resulting from the increasing concern over the impact of synthetic pesticides on human health and the environment. Biological pesticides from plant origin like neem, pyrethrum, and essential oils are critically relevant tool in maintaining organic farming as a favourable pest control strategy without the presence of toxic chemical residues. The change is as a result of increased consumer knowledge, increasing disposable income and a healthier trend towards organic food. Furthermore, international regulatory entities have been backed organic farming using policy instruments, certification patterns and subsidies to minimize on the use of chemical pesticides. With the popularity of so many natural foods to consume as well as by products such as fruits, vegetables, and grains, farmers are embracing botanical biopesticides as a way of meeting these standards while at the same time satisfying public’s demands of organic foods and safety.
A major issue for the progression of the botanical biopesticide market is staying on top of the high costs of production, mainly from extraction and formulation costs of plant-based biopesticides. Some of the materials like neem, pyrethrum or any essential oil used in formulating the concoction should be well grown, harvested and refined for effectiveness. The extraction methods, for instance, steam distillation or solvent extraction require the use of high technologies, sophisticated equipment and the work force of professional personnel which tend to drive up the cost of production exponentially. On top of these factors, stability, case, and bioactivity for different formulations also result in a buildup of costs. In contrast to synthetic pesticides that use economies of scale in production and distribution networks, botanical biopesticides struggle with economies of scale to lower production costs. Consequently, the final product is costly to the user and therefore not within the reach of the small scale farmers in the regions of high cost sensitivity. To overcome this challenge, manufacturers require perpetuating innovation in production procedures and capital in regard to costs, without compromising on quality and efficiency of individual products.
The study categorizes the Botanical Biopesticide market based on Type, Crop Type, Source, Application, at the regional and global levels.
Based on the Type, the market is divided into Insecticides, Fungicides, Herbicides, Nematicides, Others. Insecticides are the dominant segment of the Botanical Biopesticide Market. This is because they are commonly used in controlling pests and insects that are grievous threats to crop production. To minimize loss due to pests that reduce crop yields, farmers have to use insecticides intensively, which makes this segment an important one within the crop protection industry. Insecticides of botanical origin like neem and pyrethrum are used due to plant origin, lower risk to humans and non-target useful insects and flexibility in controlling pests. Also, pests have developed resistance to synthetic chemicals thereby demanding use of botanical insecticides as an economical option. As the global population becomes more conscious of organic farming and as governments put measures in place to regulate the uses of chemical insecticides, botanical insecticides have gained space. Improvements in extraction and formulation techniques provide an additional boost, which help the botanical biopesticides gain a commanding share of the market as farmers look for environmentally friendly, efficient methods of pest management.
Based on the regions, the global market of Botanical Biopesticide has been segmented across North America, Europe, the Middle East & Africa, South America, and Asia-Pacific. The Asia Pacific dominates the Botanical Biopesticide market. This is because of the large production base in agriculture, rising consumer interest in organically farmed produce, and changing attitudes to sustainable farming. Leading countries include India, China and Japan because the farming base is still strong in these countries and there is increasing trend in the use organic pesticides to replace chemical ones. Subsidisation, incentives and regulation by the Governments of Asia-Pacific is promoting organic farming that is also aiding the uptake of botanical biopesticides. Also, most of the raw materials like neem, which is grown in plenty in the area, makes the cost of production low. Growers are gradually turning to better methods due to increased population and awareness of food safety and crop residue free produce. Futhermore, rising export of organic food from Asia-Pacific to Europe and North American propels the demand for organic food markets. Policies Supporting this Market, Agricultural Dominance and Resources Availability Anticipate Asia-Pacific to be the Leading Market.
The global market for botanical biopesticide has intense competitive environment and its players are focusing on, new product development, mergers, acquisitions and organic growth, geographical diversification. Manufacturers are using hi-tech extraction and formulation techniques to improve effectiveness and stability of the products. The industry is dominated by Certis USA, Marrone Bio Innovations, BASF SE, and Andermatt Biocontrol who provide growing global needs for eco-friendly crop protection products.
