Key Findings
Europe Biopesticide market is expected to continue growing at a healthy rate due to growing demand for organic food and strict environment regulations. Spain, Italy and France are the key biopesticide markets. The Europe biopesticides market generated revenue of $718 Million in 2016 and is anticipated to contribute $3823 Million by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 20.5%. Various reasons for growth of the biopesticide market are increasing demand for organic food, awareness about harmful effect of chemical pesticides, novel products, easy decomposability and advent of new kind of pests.
Biopesticides are organic biological agents that are used to control harmful organisms, like pests and weeds. Bioinsectides are organic formulations that are used for management of insects that attack crops. Biofungicides are formulations of microorganisms, mostly bacteria and fungi that are used to control plant pathogens. Bionematicide is a formulation of bacteria and fungi that is used to manage crop infestation by nematodes.
Biopesticides are very specific in nature in that they have high host specificity and are biodegradable. These are required in very small quantities and offer less exposure and decompose quickly without leaving too much of a trace and allow field re-entry almost immediately after application.
Biopesticide market is segmented on the basis of geography, product type, crop, application and ingredient. On the basis of product type, biopesticides are classified as bioherbicide, bioinsecticide, bionematicide and biofungicide. On the basis of active ingredient, they can be microbial pesticides, plants pesticides and biochemical pesticides. Classification on basis of crop type is permanent crops, arable crops and others that include forage grass and turf grass. When classified on the basis of application it is seed treatment, soil treatment and post harvest application.
