North America Agricultural Biologicals Market Insights

Increase in adoption of natural products over synthetic products

North America Agricultural Biologicals Market are increasingly being used as a replacement of synthetic or chemical plant protection products like chemical pesticides, fungicides or insecticides. Agricultural biologicals products like bio pesticides, bio stimulants, and bio fertilizers serve as a natural products which leads to soil health development, plant’s disease control, enhancement of nutrient uptake, plant growth enhancement, and various others. The customers are highly adopting agricultural biologicals products over other synthetic products due to its capability to target specific microorganisms with low impact on other organisms, low environmental impacts, and a low risk of product resistance towards the pests.

Synthetic products are toxic and harmful to humans, pets, plant crops, beneficial organisms, and also environment. Applications of synthetic products causes crop product’s contamination with injurious chemical residues, contamination of groundwater and soil, and various health risks while applying these products. Continuous protection of plants through the usage of synthetic products also leads to strong insect’s resistance towards those chemicals. The manufacturing costs of synthetic products are also higher than agricultural biologicals, which is also contributing towards the rising adoption of natural products.

As compared to synthetic products, agricultural biologicals products are non-pollutants towards environment, soil, water or plant, along with inexhaustible, easily accessible, biodegradable, renewable, non-phytotoxic, and a cost effective option. Agricultural biologicals consists of essential oils, alkaloids, terpenoids, polypeptides, polyphenols, phenolics, and other natural compounds which assists in prevention of harmful pests. Also, the synthetic products passes through much more regulatory processes as compare to natural products. These factors are mainly contributing towards the increasing adoption of natural products over synthetic products.

Type Insights

The North America Agricultural Biologicals market is segmented on the basis of type as – bio pesticides, bio stimulants, and bio fertilizers. The bio pesticides segment in the North America agricultural biologicals market is estimated to hold a leading share in the market. Bio pesticides is the most widely used type for the agricultural biologicals products. It is widely used to control agricultural pests through specific biologicals effects which contains bio control agents such as natural organisms or substances derived from animals, plants, bacteria or minerals. Bio pesticides covers a wide spectrum of potential products like microbial pesticides, plant incorporated protectants and bio chemical pesticides. The demand for bio pesticides is rising due to rising environmental and health concerns regarding usage of synthetic pesticides. Also, the changing trend towards adoption of organic products leads in rise of North America bio pesticides market. Governments of the North American countries have been promoting advantages offered by bio pesticides and is largely contributing towards market growth.

Source Insights

The North America agricultural biologicals market is segmented based on source as microbials, bio chemicals, and others. In 2018, the microbials segment accounts for the largest share in the North America agricultural biologicals market, while the bio chemicals segment also contributes a significant share in the market. Microbials are mainly used as a source for agricultural biologicals. Microbials are small bacterial and fungal organisms which can be categorized into fungi, bacteria, viruses, protozoa, etc. It improves the soil’s nutrient uptake, offering insect control for protection against diseases and enhance yield. It helps in absorption of important nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus and sulphur, and widely known for solving key agricultural problems such as plant health control, crop productivity, and soil’s health maintenance along with environmental concerns such as soil and water bioremediation from inorganic and organic contaminants. The higher development costs of chemical agricultural products, along with stringent regulations to limit the growth of chemical or synthetic products usage leads to microbials market growth.

Application Mode Insights

The North America agricultural biologicals market is segmented on the basis of application mode as foliar sprays, soil treatment, and seed treatment. The seed treatment segment was estimated to hold a major share in the market. Seeds are treated with application of insecticides, fungicides, etc. to protect them from seed-borne pathogenic organisms or other insects. Seeds are also subjected to exposure of solar energy or immersion in conditioned water. It provides various advantages such as improved germination, control of insects present in soil, prevention of plant diseases, early growth and establishment, and protection from seedling blights and seed rot. Latest innovations in biologicals farming technologies, energy-efficient production, economical and eco-friendly methods of seed treatments contribute towards the market growth. High costs of genetically modified and hybrid seeds also leads to market growth of seed treatments.

Application Insights

The North America agricultural biologicals market is segmented on the basis of application as cereals and grains, oilseeds and pulses, fruits and vegetables, and others. The cereals and grains segment accounts for the largest share in the North America agricultural biologicals market, while the fruits and vegetables segment also contributes a significant share in the market. Cereal and grains are cultured in almost all parts of the world which is driving the overall agricultural biologicals industry. Its seeds are mainly treated with fungicides or insecticides to avoid transmission of diseases. Weeds directly competes with cereal and grains crops for light, mineral nutrients and water which are generally controlled through chemical pesticides applications. The North America agricultural biologicals market is majorly driven through continuous demand from cereals and grains plant as these crops avail larger amounts of water, bio fertilizers, and nutritional materials to maintain its overall development.
