The US biopesticides market size is projected to expand at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing consumer desire for organic products.
Biopesticides are biocrop protection agents made up of natural components including plant matter, microbes, and bacteria. Biopesticide, as defined by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is generated from natural elements such as animals, plants, microorganisms, and certain minerals. Microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and tiny nematode worms might be employed in agricultural operations to manage or eradicate pests that are likely to cause plant harm.
In 2016, more than 4 million acres of land were under organic agriculture, up 11% from the previous two years. In 2016, there were close to 15,000 certified organic farms, up more than 6% from 2014. Because biopesticides are widely utilized in organic farming, biopesticide usage in organic farming is anticipated to rise in the United States. Bioinsecticides and biofungicides, which have a market share of 43 per cent and 44 per cent, respectively, in 2018, are the market leaders. The fact that they have more goods, are more diverse, and are more popular are the primary reasons for their dominance in the biopesticide market revenue in the United States.
