Global sales of biopesticides were estimated at a whopping USD 3.0 billion in 2022, with the United States dominating the market by far. Right on its tail: Brazil, which is one of the fastest-growing regions due to a large number of new product registrations annually.

But what is the current status of the biopesticides market in Europe? In a special presentation at the ACI Biopesticides Europe 2023 event -- now available for download -- Aneesa Moolla, Project Manager in our Agrochemicals division, gave an overview on the subject. Among the questions she answered:

• Which companies are the leading suppliers of biopesticides?
• What crop accounts for the largest share of sales in Spain?

• How did Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic affect the agricultural industry in the United Kingdom?
• What are the biggest trends in the industry?
• What's the growth forecast by country?
