North America Agricultural Microbial Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2024 - 2029)

The requirement for high crop productivity and production with high quality, and evolving agricultural practices and precision farming have been driving the market growth for agriculture microbial products in North America. Organic farming represents a unique, fast-growing segment of the food industry. Being less toxic than synthetic pesticides, microbial pesticides typically affect the target pest and other organisms closely related to it, as against broad-spectrum conventional pesticides, which can be harmful to other organisms, such as birds, beneficial insects, and mammals. North America's organic agricultural land was 3.2 million hectares in 2017, which is 0.8% of the total agricultural area. Between 2016 and 2017, the area increased by almost 93,000 hectares or 3%. Almost 1.8 % of the farmland in Canada is organic, and the proportion in the United States is 0.6%. There is a total of 19,017 producers in North America; most of them are in the United States. As conventional synthetic options become ineffective due to pests developing resistance, growers are more and more willing to try biological options. Microbial pesticides can be very effective even in very small quantities and are quick to decompose, which causes lower exposure levels and prevents pollution-associated problems of traditional pesticides. Consumers have become more aware of the products they consume and scrutinize the safety and quality of food products. So, when farmers use microbial pesticides in agricultural land, it lessens the chance of toxicity that comes figuratively from synthetic pesticide usages.
