North America Leads the Agricultural Biologicals Market Boom: The Shift in Global Agriculture

Delray Beach, FL, March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The agricultural biologicals market is poised for significant expansion, projected to grow from USD 16.67 billion in 2024 to USD 31.84 billion by 2029, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.8%, according to MarketsandMarkets. The increasing challenges in conventional farming, such as soil degradation, pests, and crop diseases, are fueling demand for sustainable agricultural solutions. Additionally, regulatory support from global governments is driving the transition from chemical-based to biological agricultural inputs.

Regulatory Support and Sustainable Practices

Governments worldwide are implementing stringent policies to encourage the adoption of agricultural biologicals. Initiatives such as India's Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY) and the National Mission on Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA) advocate for the use of non-toxic biofertilizers and biopesticides to maintain soil health and enhance crop yields. While PMKSY primarily focuses on irrigation, it integrates sustainable technologies, including agricultural biologicals, to improve soil fertility and enhance resilience against environmental challenges.

Artificial Intelligence Accelerating Innovation in Agricultural Biologicals

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is playing a transformative role in the agricultural biologicals market by streamlining research and development. AI-driven data analysis helps in discovering new natural compounds and microorganisms for use in bio-based fertilizers and pesticides. Machine learning models can predict the efficacy of agricultural biologicals, thereby optimizing R&D processes and reducing time-to-market. AI-powered tools also enable real-time monitoring of crop health, soil conditions, and pest outbreaks, allowing for more targeted and efficient application of biologicals.

Market Drivers: Rising Demand for Organic and Residue-Free Foods

The growing consumer preference for organically produced and residue-free food is a key factor driving the expansion of agricultural biologicals. The increased regulation of chemical residues in food, along with rising awareness of health and environmental concerns, has prompted farmers to seek alternatives to synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. According to a 2022 report by the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL) and IFOAM Organics ...
