Market Overview

United States biocontrol agents market is the market for natural organisms or substances that are of natural origin used to manage pests, diseases, and weeds in agriculture, forestry, and horticulture. The agents involved are beneficial insects, fungi, bacteria, nematodes, and plant-based chemicals that minimize the use of synthetic pesticides. Moreover, growth drivers for the U.S. biocontrol agents market are rising consumer demand for pesticide-free cultivation of cannabis, regulatory incentives towards sustainable agriculture practices, and the increasing growth of biological soil health programs. Such specialised areas, usually ignored in other large markets, are driving specialized applications and adoption of biocontrol solutions across a wide range of sectors. Furthermore, Key stakeholders can spur the market by investing in R&D for locally evolved biocontrol strains, collaborating with organic producers, expanding farmer education programs, and using AI-based platforms to track pest outbreaks and fine-tune timely, targeted biocontrol applications on diverse cropping systems. For instance, November 2020, after being purchased by Biobest Group NV 2020, Beneficial Insectary Inc. joined the global company, enhancing its distribution system and visibility.

Driving Factors

The U.S. market for biocontrol agents is fueled by the increasing prices of synthetic pesticides, growing pest resistance to chemicals, and more stringent Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) required by export markets. Consumer pressure for transparency in food production and traceability also favors the adoption of biocontrol. Government and non-profit sustainability programs, as well as formulation and storage technology improvements, are also promoting wider use across conventional and organic farming systems. For instance, in January 2022, the company declared the merger of Andermatt Biocontrol AG with Andermatt Group AG. On a merged basis, all companies directly report to Andermatt Group AG, strengthening the efficiency of the management and streamlining the structure of the company.

Restraining Factors

Restraining factors are low farmer awareness, unpredictable field performance as a result of environmental fluctuations, high cost of production, and shorter shelf life than chemical products, which complicates large-scale adoption of biocontrol agents.  

Market Segmentation

The United States biocontrol agents market share is classified into crop type and form.

• The horticultural crops segment held a significant share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

The United States biocontrol agents market is segmented by crop type into cash crops, horticultural crops, and row crops. Among these, the horticultural crops segment held a significant share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. These high-value crops, including fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals, are more sensitive to chemical residues, driving demand for biocontrol solutions. Growers prioritize sustainable practices to meet consumer and export requirements, making biological pest control especially attractive in this segment.

• The microbials segment held a significant share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

The United States biocontrol agents market is segmented by form into macrobials and microbials. Among these, the microbials segment held a significant share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. This is due to its broad-spectrum effectiveness, ease of mass production, and longer shelf life compared to microbials. Microbial agents, including bacteria and fungi, are widely used in integrated pest management programs across various crop types, especially in organic farming.
