A
new research report by Transparency Market Research offers a
comprehensive evaluation of the global Biocontrol
AgentsMarket.
The study, titled “Biocontrol
Agents Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth,
Trends, and Forecast 2016 - 2026”,
is available for sale on the firm’s website.
Diseases
hamper the quality and quantity of plant production. Chemical agents
such as herbicides and pesticides have been used effectively since
long as suppressors of many varieties of pests. However, pests have
developed resistance to pesticides due to their extensive usage.
Biocontrol agents, which help decrease the negative effects of plant
pathogens, can act as substitutes to pesticides. Biocontrol agents
are considered effective source that inhibits the growth of pests.
Based
on crop type, the market for biocontrol agents has been segmented
into fruits, cereals, oils, vegetables, and other crops. In terms of
application, the market can be segregated into seed treatment,
post-harvest, and on-field applications. The biocontrol agents market
has been further divided into type of control agents such as
parasitoids and predators. Based on the target pest covered, the
biocontrol agents market can be segmented into arthropods, weed, and
microorganisms. In terms of active substances, the market can be
segregated into macrobials, entomopathogenic nematodes, and
microbials.

Biocontrol
Agents Market: Trends and Opportunities
The
market for biocontrol agents is expected to expand at a significant
rate owing to the rising awareness among consumers about the
consumption of contamination-free food. Plant diseases decrease the
overall yield and productivity. This drives the usage of various
chemical agents to suppress the disease-causing pests. Excess usage
of chemical agents significantly impacts the quality of soil. It
decreases the fertility of the soil and also makes pests resistant to
chemical agents.
The
microbials segments accounts for prominent share of the biocontrol
agents market due to its cost effectiveness and potential to
eliminate a wide range of pests. Outfield growers widely use
microbials, as they are readily available. Bacterium-based biological
control agents (BCAs) are primarily employed to suppress targeted
pests. The on-field application segment dominates the biocontrol
agents market. The segment is anticipated to expand rapidly during
the forecast period due to the use of biocontrol agents The seed
treatment segments also holds prominent share; it is projected to be
one of the lucrative segments due to the easy availability and low
cost of seed treatment products.
Lack
of awareness about biocontrol agents among crop producers is the
major restraining factor of the biocontrol agents market. Governments
across the world need to take initiatives to promote the usage of
biocontrol agents. Availability of effective pest control methods
hampers the reach of biocontrol agents.
Biocontrol
Agents Market: Region-wise Overview
North
America holds the major share of the global biocontrol agents market
due the wide acceptance and awareness of these products among
farmers. The biocontrol agents market in the region is well
established and is anticipated to expand further during the forecast
period. The biocontrol agents market in Europe has been expanding
significantly after the implementation of the European Commission’s
(EC) framework regarding the usage of pesticides through Integrated
Pest Management (IPM). EC promotes the usage of biocontrol agents
along with other methods such as using different plant varieties and
forecast. EC also emphasizes on the low usage of chemical agents.
Implementation of stringent government regulations is anticipated to
boost the demand for biocontrol agents in Europe. The biocontrol
agents market in Latin America is progressing at a significant pace
owing to the efforts made by governments in the region to lower the
usage of harmful chemical agents. The biocontrol agents market in
Asia Pacific is projected to expand at a fast pace due to the rise in
population and increase in demand for contamination-free food. Middle
East & Africa is likely to offer less opportunities to the
biocontrol agents during the forecast period.
