Double-digit growth of biopesticides around the world is driving new product development, according to our latest research.
Sales in the biostimulants and biofertilizers market grew at a CAGR of 9% from 2019 to 2022 ― mostly due massive price increases for fertilizers.
The EU Regulation 2019/1009 was a topic of discussion at the ACI’s Biostimulants Europe Summit in Seville last week.
Bans on pesticides, along with negative sentiments surrounding chemicals used in foods, are sending sales of biopesticides into a seemingly unstoppable upswing. In fact, the industry even thrived during the pandemic.

Demand for biostimulants is growing rapidly, fueled in part by consumer trends toward wellness and organic produce, along with rising environmental concerns. Biostimulants contain organic substances such as humic acid, vitamins, hormones, and microorganisms that stimulate natural processes to enhance crop quality. When applied to plants or rhizosphere, biostimulants boost nutrient efficiency, resulting in increased
