- The Asia-Pacific region is witnessing a significant shift toward sustainable agriculture practices, with countries like China and India leading the market. China is currently the largest consumer of biopesticides in the region, and it accounted for a 29.1% share in 2022.
- In response to rising concerns over soil contamination, pollution, and chemical residues in food, the Chinese government is taking proactive measures to promote the usage of organic inputs. These initiatives include bearing the cost of organic certification, providing funding for on-farm infrastructure and organic fertilizers, training, marketing assistance, and assisting with land acquisition. Middle and higher-income families are driving this growing demand for organically-grown food.
- However, India has the world's highest number of organic growers, and it is the fifth-largest country in terms of organic agricultural land area. During 2021-2022, India produced over 3.4 million metric tons of certified organic products, including a wide range of food products. This high adoption of organic farming practices is expected to drive the biopesticides market in the region.
- One key driver of the biopesticides market is the development of herbicide-resistant weeds such as L. rigidum, R. raphanustrum, Bromus spp., and Hordeum spp. These weeds have developed resistance against traditional chemical herbicides that kill the weeds by ACCase- and ALS-inhibition, making control difficult. This presents an opportunity for farmers to adopt other alternatives like bioherbicides, thus driving the Asia-Pacific biopesticides market. The market is estimated to record a CAGR of 9.8% during the forecast period (2023-2029).
