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 who are exporting product within the region and beyond. Brazil and Cuba are the largest biopesticide markets in the region, followed by Colombia. All three are characterised by the fact that there are few if any biopesticide imports. In fact, the Latin American biopesticide market as a whole is characterised by government and NGO encouraged local production.
Latin America’s Biopesticides Market has been estimated at USD 0.35 million in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 0.77 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 17.28% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2023.
bbopesticides 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 broad spectrum approach and even through selective approach. These are replacing conventional pesticides from the market due to their non-toxic quality and target specific behaviour.
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.
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 improving techniques for the augmentation and application of biopesticides. Farmers are unaware regarding the benefits of biopesticides and also reluctant to change from the existing practices of chemical pesticides which are restraining the growth of the market.
According to ingredients, they are classified as biochemical pesticides, plant pesticides and microbial pesticides. On the basis of microorganism’s type, they are segmented into bioherbicides, biofungicides, bionematicides and bioinsecticide. Based on crop type the market is fragmented among permanent and arable crops along with forage & turf grasses and greenhouse crops. By application, the market is bifurcated into seed treatment, on farm and post-harvest application. Biofungicide and bionematicide segments are anticipated to witness highest growth in the global biopesticide market.
