The global biopesticides market is estimated at USD 7.72 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 15.66 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 15.2% during the forecast period. The adoption of AI in the biopesticides industry is transforming product development, enhancing pest control effectiveness, and optimizing market strategies. Companies, such as FMC Corporation, are using AI to rapidly discover and commercialize new biopesticides. In May 2024, FMC Corporation announced a collaboration with Optibrium, the lead AI solutions company for small molecule discovery, as part of its strategic move to expand its discovery process. Coupled with Optibrium's Augmented Chemistry AI technologies, this will speed up the discovery of promising compounds and optimize their properties in the development of new sustainable solutions for growers. As AI continues to play a critical role in sustainable product development, it positions the biopesticides market for significant growth and innovation.

Opportunities and disruption in the biopesticides market
"In 2023, Bioinsecticides stood as the major segment within the type segment of the biopesticides market. "
The bioinsecticides hold a major share in the segment type of biopesticides market because of their potential to target an enormous range of insect pests while remaining nontoxic to many other beneficial organisms. These include biopesticides emanating from natural sources, bacteria, fungi, and plant extracts that reportedly are harmless and serve as alternatives for chemical insecticides. Due to increasing awareness of pesticide resistance and lethal effects on the environment and human health from synthetic chemicals, bioinsecticides have emerged among the favored options for integrated pest management. Its aptitude for sustainable pest control delivery across different crops, especially high-valued fruit and vegetable production, sustained the leading edge in the biopesticides market.
"Within the formulation segment, liquid formulation holds the highest share."
Liquid formulation holds the maximum share in the biopesticides market due to its wide usage and versatility. They are preferred for the ease of application and better coverage of large acres. Liquid biopesticides provide a high active content, which is required in commercial formulation as they aid with spray drifting. Rovensa Next launched a new biofungicide named Milarum in Brazil in June 2024. FMC India introduced ENTAZIA biofungicide in August 2023. Both are liquid products in form, bringing extra versatility and value to their applications.
"Europe is expected to grow at the highest rate in the global biopesticides market."
The European region is expected to record the highest growth rate in the global pesticides market due to increasing demand for organic and sustainable farming practices, stringent environmental regulations, and strong governmental support towards environmental-friendly crop protection solutions. The regional market has concentrated on the decline in the utilization of chemical pesticides, increasing integrated pest management, thereby accelerating the demand for biopesticides and other alternative solutions in the region. The "Farm to Fork" strategy by the European Commission includes the ambition of using 25% of EU farmland for organic farming by 2030. An action plan is designed within the strategy that offers direct financial support to organic producers on a per-hectare payment basis, thus incentivizing the adoption and long-term maintenance of organic farming practices. This kind of incentive will go a long way in fast-tracking the conversion process to organic agriculture. These per-hectare payments are justified to incentivize the positive externalities associated with organic farming and are partly financed by pesticide taxes. This approach creates a favorable environment for the biopesticides market in Europe.
