Market Overview

Biopesticides are naturally derived agents that are obtained from living organisms, suppressing the growth and proliferation of pests' populations by diverse mechanisms of action. Crop protection is heavily relied on synthetic chemical pesticides over the past 50 years, but their availability is now declining. The associated harmful side effects, new legislation, and the evolution of resistance in pest populations of synthetic pesticides surge the requirement for biological or natural-based pesticides in the agricultural field. Therefore, alternative pest management tactics are needed. The greater emphasis on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) as part of agricultural policy in the European Union promotes new opportunities for developing biopesticides by combining ecological science with post-genomics technologies. Consumer demand, government support, and scientific advancements, biopesticides are the factors that play crucial roles in shaping the future of sustainable agriculture in the country. Further, the increased focus on innovation and sustainability significantly contributed to the growth of biopesticides in the agricultural sector.
