The biological control market is estimated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The COVID-19 crisis has had a negative impact on the biological control market. The global lockdowns and restrictions on travel have reduced the availability and accessibility of biological control agents in the market. The production efficiency is reduced due to shortage of labour, scarce availability of raw materials, and slow or lack of transportation. The growing area under organic cultivation, less rigorous regulations, and rising need for food security are the few key market propel that are boosting the sale of biologicals. However, the lower shelf life of the product and low awareness among the farmers are likely to obstruct the market growth.

Microbials are anticipated to grow at a faster rate due to the rising use of microbials in several applications, like seed treatment, on-field, and post-harvest applications. Owing to the faster adoption rate of biological controls by North American and European farmers, both regions act as the main markets for biological controls. The global biological control market is anticipated to be a fragmented market during the forecast period due to the easy product registration and relatively low capital investment, making it easy for a new entrant to enter the market. Organic farming represents a unique, fast-growing segment of the food industry. Several factors alternately propel and obstruct the growth of biopesticides. The area under organic farming is rapidly growing across the globe.
