Key Trends in Biostimulants

Biostimulants are booming: According to our research, overall sales grew by a CAGR of 9% in 2019-2022 to reach over $2 billion. The U.S. market accounts for more than one-quarter of the global market.

In a special presentation given at ACI's recent US Biostimulants Summit 2023, Frances Davidson, Kline Senior Account Manager, highlighted the U.S. market for biostimulants, now estimated at ~$500 million. Among the topics she covered:

  • Which crops are using biologicals the most?
  • Which active ingredients are most popular?
  • What has been the most important M&A activity in recent years?
  • What new technologies have been introduced, and by which companies?
  • How – and why – are companies expanding their portfolios?
  • What will drive the future of the industry?

Overview of the European Biopesticides Market

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?
  • Which crop has the highest forecasted growth over the next five years in Italy?
  • Which biopesticide products have lost authorization in France?
  • Which field crop/seed treatment application is most favored in Germany?
  • 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?

All insights were taken from Kline's Global Biopesticides: An Overview of Natural Pesticides report, which offers a market view for each country covered; insights on key diseases and pests treated with biopesticides; and sales of biological insecticides, nematicides, fungicides, herbicides, and seed treatment products, along with Biostimulants and Biofertilizers: Global Overview of the Market and Use, which provides a market view for each country covered; current and forecast brand sales, emerging technologies, and company positions; and special coverage on plant growth regulators in the United States.

Five Agrochemicals Trends That Will Define 2023

Five Agrochemicals Trends That Will Define 2023

What’s ahead for the agrochemicals industry in 2023? Kline has the answer, thanks to our team of experts who have identified the industry trends most likely to gain traction. Here’s a quick rundown, but be sure to request the full trends report so you’re well-prepared for the new year.

1. Increased demand for biocontrols

As consumers seek organic food, sales of biopesticides and biostimulants are rapidly growing in both developed and developing markets.   

2. Biopesticides taking the place of pesticides 

Bans on pesticides, along with negative sentiments surrounding chemicals used in foods, are increasing the sales of biopesticides worldwide.  

3. Increased use of PGRs, particularly in the turf & ornamental market

Nurseries, greenhouses, and turf are the fastest-growing users of PGRs, but future gains are expected in row crops.

4. Integrated Pest Management

As regulations and sustainability goals continue to favor more-natural products, investment in IPM is increasing; most major pesticide manufacturers, including Syngenta, Corteva, BASF, and Bayer, have IPM programs.  

5. Changes in incentive programs  

Incentives provided by companies under their programs are expected to shrink in all categories.
