Global Biopesticides Industry Segmentation

Global Biopesticides Market Share

By source, microbials register robust growth

Microbials remain a key growth engine as they offer targeted biocontrol with minimal non-target effects, aligning perfectly with integrated pest-management frameworks. In April 2023, Eden Research plc announced that its biofungicide “Mevalone®” received regulatory authorisation in Poland, allowing use on wine grapes and apples for Botrytis control. This type of regulatory milestone empowers microbial product portfolios and encourages growers to adopt biologically derived solutions, thereby accelerating market growth.

The growing uptake of mating-disruption devices and beneficial-insect solutions fuels segment growth as growers seek chemical-free pest control strategies. For example, in September 2024, Suterra LLC announced that its “CheckMate® Puffer® OFM-O” received Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) listing for use in organic production on Oriental fruit moth. Such certifications and product innovations bolster confidence among growers, drive adoption of beneficial-insect and pheromone-based systems and broaden the market’s biological-control base.

By type, biofungicides dominate in terms of adoption and usage

Biofungicides drive segment growth as fungal pathogens increasingly threaten high-value crops and growers seek eco-friendly alternatives. The demand is further amplified by tighter chemical-fungicide regulation and the expansion of integrated pest management systems. For example, in November 2024, Lavie Bio Ltd. announced its bio-fungicide program LAV321 advanced to pre-commercial stage following strong field-trial data against downy mildew in grapes. These product milestones help build grower confidence in biological solutions and broaden the pathway for broader adoption across fruit and vegetable sectors.

Bioherbicides gain traction as chemical herbicide resistance escalates and regulatory pressures mount, driving growers toward nature-based weed management tools. The biochemical and microbial modes of action in this segment align with sustainability goals and precision agriculture trends. In March 2024, Moa Technology partnered with Croda International plc on a 10-year collaboration to develop next-generation bioherbicides leveraging marine-microbiome discovery. This strategic move paves the way for broader commercial-scale deployment of bioherbicides in major cropping systems.

By formulation, liquid biopesticides are in high demand

Liquid formulations are gaining prominence in the biopesticides market share due to their superior coverage, ease of use, and compatibility with modern spraying systems. They enable farmers to achieve consistent pest control with less labor and dilution effort. Reflecting this trend, in June 2025, Bayer AG and Kimitec Innovation launched Ambition Complete Gen2 and Ambition Secure Gen2, two gel-based biological solutions for regenerative agriculture. These launches demonstrate the growing industry shift toward liquid and gel-based biopesticides that combine efficacy with sustainability.

Dry formulations continue to attract attention for their storage stability, long shelf life, and cost-effective transportation. They also offer flexibility for seed coating and soil application, making them ideal for smallholder and large-scale farming alike. In September 2023, Croda International plc introduced Atlox™ BS-50, a dry-format delivery system designed for spore-forming microbes. This innovation supports the broader adoption of dry biopesticides by enhancing formulation stability and microbial viability.

By mode of action, seed treatment is picking up momentum

Seed-treatment mode is witnessing notable adoption in the biopesticides market as growers shift toward preventive pest and disease control right at sowing, improving plant vigour and reducing downstream chemical load. In October 2025, Albaugh introduced BIOST® 2G Nematicide + Insecticide, a next-generation seed-treatment biological for corn, soy, cotton and cereals, registered in the United States. This launch exemplifies how seed-treatment biologicals are broadening their use beyond niche crops into mainstream arable segments, thus driving growth.

Soil-treatment mode is picking up robust momentum as growers seek solutions for root pests, nematodes and improved rhizosphere health in the face of deeper disease pressure and soil-ecosystem decays. In January 2025, UPL Ltd. rolled out Atroforce® Bionematicide as a seed-coating/soil-treatment solution for cotton, offering nematode protection from the very start of plant growth. This kind of soil-treatment innovation helps extend biological protection into early root-zone phases and supports adoption of biologicals in deeper agronomic layers.

By crop type, fruits and vegetables demonstrate notable growth

The fruits and vegetables crop type benefits from strong demand for residue-free produce, high-value markets and stricter regulatory standards, making biopesticides particularly appealing. For example, in September 2025, BASF SE launched its Efficon® Insecticide in Indonesia for pests in citrus, chilli and tomato crops, reflecting the premium-crop drive. The combination of export opportunities, consumer safety concerns and integrated pest management frameworks supports rapid growth in this segment.

The oilseeds and pulses segment is gaining momentum as growers seek solutions that enhance seedling vigor, reduce chemical input and improve sustainability in rotational systems. In February 2025, UPL Ltd. announced its seed-treatment biological NIMAXXA, combining biostimulant and bionematicide activity for oilseed crops, marking innovation in the sector. With rising plant-based protein demand and pressure on conventional chemistries, this segment is positioned for strong growth.

Global Biopesticides Market Regional Analysis 

By Region, Asia Pacific leads the market growth 

The Asia-Pacific crop protection market is being lifted by regulatory acceleration and company action in India. When the Central Insecticides Board & Registration Committee (CIB&RC) approved 27 new products in July 2025, companies such as Bayer CropScience Ltd. and BASF India Ltd. responded by advancing registration of novel herbicides and fungicides. These firms are now advancing field trials, tweaking formulations for local conditions and ramping up manufacturing readiness ahead of commercial launch. 

The European biopesticides market is growing rapidly as the region transitions toward regenerative and low-impact agricultural systems supported by strong regulatory frameworks like the EU Green Deal and Farm to Fork Strategy. Increasing consumer demand for residue-free produce, coupled with government incentives for biological crop protection, continues to drive innovation. Recently, the EU-funded SOILRES project, led by Aarhus University, was launched in June 2025, to develop biodiversity-based biostimulants and soil improvers, further promoting sustainable crop resilience and eco-friendly pest management.
