Global Beneficial Insects Market Size (2022 – 2027)

The Global Beneficial Insects Market was worth US$ 778 million in 2022, and it is estimated to reach a valuation of US$ 1264.3 million by the end of 2027, expanding at an annual growth rate of 10.2% between 2022 and 2027.

The beneficial insects is referred to the type of the insects that perform valuable services such as pest control, weed control, soil formation, pollination of flowers, reduces spread of environmental diseases etc. Whereas, insects that cause interruption in production process is known as non-beneficial insects. The beneficial insects use to eat other harmful pests and protect the crops for causing damage. This beneficial microbial can be used to decompose the natural waste and thus helps in enhancing the nutrients of the soil which results to healthy crop production. Furthermore these beneficial insects in helping pollination process and thus help in more production. The beneficial insects helps in preventing pests and weeds thus reduces the use of insecticides, fungicides or chemicals which helps in increasing organic crop production. The beneficial insects help in production as well as protection of the crops. Thus owing to have such more advantages the demand of beneficial insects is expected to increase in the forecast period between 2022 and 2027.

Market Drivers

The driving force of the Beneficial Insects Market is increasing demand in food security of the growing population, along with the limited agriculture land available worldwide, rise in the crop loss due to various pest problems, increasing demand of organic food.

The rising concern towards the environment among the worldwide population drives the growth of the market. The beneficial insects eaten up the other harmful insects and helps in controlling the spread of harmful diseases as well decrease the population of other pests.

The increasing awareness among growers towards the benefits of insects in agriculture drives the growth of this market. The beneficial insects use to eat other insects; fungus, critters etc that damages the crop. The farmers are using beneficial insects in order to protect crops from other harmful insects and thus preventing the use of insecticides, fungicides or other which is harmful for humans also. Owing to increasing demand of organic food, the demand of beneficial insects is increasing in the market.

Additionally, the increasing adoption of Integrated Pest Management helps in controlling pest which results to increasing crop production and protection. Moreover, beneficial insects helps in decomposing plants and other natural residues thus helping in soil formation and increasing soil nutrients also which further increase the crop production. Furthermore, increasing investment R&D in order to get more advantages of beneficial insects drives the growth of beneficial insects in the market in projected period between 2022 and 2027.

Market Restraints

The short shelf life of microbial and the use of microbial is labor intensive thus increase farming cost which obstructs the market growth. The shelf life of microbial is very less and if microbial population become less it does not control their prey pests effectively also the use of microbial needs labor in order to have effective use of beneficial insects thus increase the cost. Moreover, some farmers are showing their reluctant to adopt microbial is expected to become the challenge for beneficial insects market growth.

Market Segmentation

Global Beneficial Insects Market - By Type:

  • Predators
  • Parasitoids
  • Pathogens
  • Pollinators

The Predators segment is expected to dominate the beneficial insects market in the forecast period. Predators capture and eat other organism such as insects or mites. These are used to frequently attack different life stages of the pests and even different pest species. Many of the predators are also able to supplement their diet by feeding on alternatives food sources such as nectar, fungi and pollen. Predators are often hungry feeders and more robust as compared to parasites. Additionally, predation operates to increase growth rate by thinning the density of prey populations which releases survivors from competition. At the same time, predators threaten its prey in order to decreasing their feeding activity and increasing refuge use that causes prey to grow slowly.

Global Beneficial Insects Market - By Application:

  • Crop Protection
  • Crop Production

Global Beneficial Insects Market – By Region:

  1. North America
  2. Europe
  3. Asia-Pacific
  4. RoW (Rest of the World)

North America holds the largest share of Beneficial Insects Market followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific region. North America alone holds 30% of total market share while Europe and Asia-Pacific region together holds 50% of total share of beneficial insects market. In North America, the reason behind the largest market share is the huge adoption of beneficial insects for crop protection and also large consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables drive the growth of this market in this region. The increasing awareness about the benefits of organic products among population, adoption of IPM practices along with increasing environmental concerns fuels the growth of this market in this region.

Asia Pacific is expected to become the fastest growing market of beneficial insects due to increasing awareness about the benefits of insects in crop protection as well as crop production. Also, the increasing investment from several manufacturers in this region for crop production drives the growth of beneficial insects market in the projected period. Additionally increasing adoption of advanced technologies and extensive R&D initiatives has been undertaken in order to explore new varieties of beneficial insects and their effective control methods further boost the market growth in forecasted period.

In Europe, agriculture plays a vital role and governmental stringent regarding healthy food consumption and environmental concerns drives the growth of beneficial insects market in near future.

Leading Company:

Bioline AgroScience had the largest share of the world’s beneficial insects in terms of sales revenue.

Covid-19 Impact on Global Beneficial Insects Market: 

The Global Beneficial Insects Market has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. Sudden outbreak had led to the implementation of stringent lock down regulations across several nations which affect the production, supply chains as well as the export import activities of the beneficial insects market. The impact of COVID-19 on this market is temporary. The situation has started recovering and the demand for crop production is increasing which in turn increase the demand of beneficial insects market during the forecast period.
