Biopesticides are taking center stage in global agriculture, and nowhere is the shift more dynamic than in emerging markets. As sustainability becomes a non-negotiable priority, countries across Latin America, Eastern Europe, and parts of Asia are adopting natural crop protection products at an accelerating pace.
As previewed in our studies, Global Biopesticides: Natural Pesticides in Emerging Markets and Global Biopesticides: Natural Pesticides in Core Markets, the global biopesticide market is pegged at $4 billion in 2024, with sustained double-digit growth year-over-year. While major economies like Brazil, the U.S., and China lead in volume and innovation, countries such as Colombia, Peru, Turkey, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Poland are proving to be key frontiers for growth.
In South America, Colombia and Peru have revamped their regulatory framework, enabling faster approvals and to help farmers meet export standards. Turkey is leveraging its strategic location and climate to become a regional agricultural hub. Meanwhile, EU-backed subsidies are nudging Eastern European growers, often resistant to change, toward more organic practices.
However, the path isn’t without obstacles. High input costs, logistical hurdles, and regulatory complexity remain barriers to entry. Political instability and market disruptions also weigh farmer confidence and investment.
Still, the momentum is real. As emerging markets adapt to meet both global trade expectations and environmental goals, biopesticides represent a strong opportunity for growth in the crop protection industry.
