Drivers and Opportunities:
Rising trend for organically produced foods amongst consumers driving the demands for biologicals
Organic farming enables the production of high-quality, certified, controlled, and safe food. Consequently, it provides high economic and environmental benefits and preserves a healthy ecosystem. The interest of consumers in organic agricultural production has been growing at an unprecedented rate over the last few years. Rising consumers' awareness about the increasing use of pesticides and fertilizers in farm-grown vegetables has led to increased adoption of organic food products. According to a study by the Organic Trade Association in 2019, organic food products accounted for 90% of the overall organic product industry.
Increasing importance of sustainable food production globally
Food companies are taking notice of this environment, and efforts such as “Field to Market or Farm to Table” are defining sustainable farming. The concept of bio-farming is actively gaining pace as it is based on the use of organic and biofertilizers (natural and manufactured) instead of using chemical fertilizers as well as the use of safe green pesticides and pesticides. By adopting sustainable practices, farmers reduce their reliance on non-renewable energy, reduce chemical use and save scarce resources. Keeping the land healthy and replenished can go a long way when considering the rising population and demand for food. Food companies are stepping up their sustainable efforts, collaborating with their suppliers, and fine-tuning their business models.

Segments:
By product type, the microbial segment is estimated to account for the largest market share in the Agricultural Biologicals market.
The ability to increase the nutrient availability in the soil and enhance plant yield to drive the growth of the microbials segment. Microbial biological control agents (MBCAs) are used to biologically control plant pathogens in crops, and they work in a variety of ways. Without directly interacting with the pathogen, some MBCAs interact with plants via inducing resistance or priming plants. Other MBCAs modulate pathogen growth conditions through nutritional competition or other methods.
The foliar segment by mode of application is estimated to account for the largest market share of the Agricultural Biologicals market over the forecast period.
The foliar spray segment dominated the agricultural biologicals market in 2022. The ease of use and non-technicality of the method are key factors that have led to its increasing popularity and preference. Besides the developing countries, foliar sprays are also widely accepted by farmers of developing countries due to their low cost than soil and seed treatment.
The fruits and vegetables segment is estimated to observe the fastest market growth in the Agricultural Biologicals market during the forecast period.
The fruits & vegetables segment accounts for the largest share in the agricultural biologicals market since most companies offer biological solutions for vegetable crops, such as tomatoes, cabbage, pumpkin, cucumber, and bitter gourd. According to the FAO’s Statistical Yearbook of Food & Agriculture Organization, the production of vegetables has grown intensively on a per capita basis and has increased by nearly 60% in the last 20 years. Moreover, the production of vegetables accounts for nearly 12% of the total area and 14% of the total production globally.
