Latin America BioPesticide Market

Latin America Biopesticides Market Size, Growth, Trends, and Forecast:

Latin America Biopesticides Market has been estimated at USD 1.35 million in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 2.77 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 17.28% during the forecast period from 2021 to 2026.

The growth of the biopesticides market in Latin America has been substantial since the early 1990s. Local, small-scale production for local use has been a significant factor in this, especially for viral- and fungal-based products. There are, however, a number of larger companies throughout Latin America that are exporting products within the region and beyond. Brazil and Cuba are the largest biopesticide markets in the region, followed by Colombia. All three are characterized by the fact that there are few if any biopesticide imports. In fact, the Latin American biopesticide market as a whole is characterized by government and NGO encouraged local production.

biopesticides are substances derived from plants (plant-incorporated protectants or PIP’s), micro-organisms (microbial pesticides), and certain minerals (biochemical pesticides). The biopesticides control diseases or pests through a broad-spectrum approach and even through a selective approach. These are replacing conventional pesticides from the market due to their non-toxic quality and target specific behavior. Biopesticides are usually inherently less toxic than conventional biopesticides, they are comparatively cheaper and effective, decomposes well without leaving any harmful residues, have substantially nullified impact on non-targeted species and can greatly reduce the use of conventional pesticides with high yield. 

Drivers and Restraints of Latin America Biopesticides Market:

Latin America market growth is driven by the high prevalence of crop diseases and rising demand for organic both in both developed and developing regions. Various research centers all around the world are taking initiatives to improve techniques for the augmentation and application of biopesticides. Farmers are unaware of the benefits of biopesticides and also reluctant to change from the existing practices of chemical pesticides which are restraining the growth of the market.
