Agricultural Biologicals Market By Type (Biopesticides, Biostimulants, Biofertilizers), By Application (Cereals & Grains, Oilseeds & Pulses, Fruits & Vegetables), By Geography - Global Trends and Forecast to 2019

The global agricultural biologicals market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 14.6% in the forecast period. Agricultural biologicals present a new mode of action for weeds, mildew, other insects, and protect plants from these. The usage of agricultural biologicals assists farmers in maximizing yield and reducing plant stress, thereby increasing plant productivity. Advantages of using agricultural biologicals for crops are that they allow growers to save time involved in crop harvest required, due to the use of conventional chemicals.

The agricultural biological market is segmented into major types, which include biopesticides, biostimulants, and biofertilizers. Agricultural biopesticides are used for pest control. They are further classified into different groups such as bioherbicide, bioinsecticide, and biofungicide. Chemical pesticides are harmful to the environment as they may have carcinogenic effects on plants. Biopesticides are an alternative to chemical pesticides as they are derived from renewable materials, such as bacteria and some minerals. Biopesticides are used to control the effect of weeds, pests, and insects on field crops.

The global agricultural biologicals market was dominated by Europe and North America, with market shares of 31% each. The North American agricultural biological market, which is dominated by the U.S., is steadily progressing due to stringent environmental regulations and an increasing shift towards organic produce. It is one of the largest segments in the global agricultural biologicals market, with a market share of 31% market share with regards to revenue generation from organic farming.

The global agricultural biological market is a competitive market, with big agrochemical & agricultural biological companies such as BASF (Germany), Bayer CropScience (Germany), and Monsanto (U.S.) among others, which focus on expanding their market base in the concerned market. This is successfully achieved with the assistance of numerous market strategies adopted by these companies, which include new product developments, alliances, and acquisitions. Apart from these companies, there are biological developers such as Marrone Bio Innovations, Inc. (U.S.), Valent BioScience Corporation (U.S.), Novozymes A/S (Denmark), Agrinos AS (Norway), and Certis U.S.A, (U.S.) that also strengthen their market position through product approvals, alliances, and agreements.

According to the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM), an agricultural biologicals system is defined as an ecologically, socially, and economically sustainable agricultural production system that promotes safe products minimizing environmental adverse consequences and the use of non-renewable natural resources.

In other words, agricultural biologicals are organic and ecological agriculture systems, which discourage the use of synthetic and chemical fertilizers, thereby helping conserve the environment. In these agriculture systems, the use of synthetic fertilizers such as biocides, genetic modifications, and other chemical fertilizers are avoided. The whole biological system is based on organic green manure/residues/animal manure and other ecological methods (bio-control methods) and techniques.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the global market for agricultural biologicals. This report includes revenue forecasts, market trends and opportunities from 2014 to 2019 and the overview of the competitive landscape from 2011 to 2014. The analysis has been conducted on various market segments derived on the basis of type, application, and geography. On the basis of type, the market is segmented into biopesticides, biostimulants, and biofertilizers; the main applications of the market include cereals & grains, oilseeds & pulses, fruits & vegetables, and rest (crops). The geographical analysis includes Asia-Pacific (APAC), North America, Latin America, and Europe. The report also includes the key market drivers and inhibitors, along with their impact, in detail.
