North America holds the largest share of the market in biopesticides, due to strong support from regulations and a growing need for sustainable agriculture, as well as a large adoption rate for organic farming. In the US and Canada, stringent regulations pertaining to the application of chemical pesticides, especially in the production of food, have fueled the rapid use of biopesticides as safer alternatives.
The increasing demand for organic food is a major driving factor behind the biopesticides market, as consumers increasingly seek healthy and environmentally friendly practices. Organic farming, which does not allow synthetic chemicals, depends on biopesticides to control pests and diseases in accordance with certification standards. This trend is driven by increased awareness of the health and environmental impacts of chemical residues. As consumers increasingly seek healthier options, farmers must adapt to organic and natural crop management methods without artificial chemicals. Organic farming prohibits synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, creating a natural alignment with biopesticides derived from natural sources like microorganisms, plant extracts, and other organic compounds. Organic food sales in the US broke through the USD 60 billion mark for the first time in 2022, and total organic sales, including non-food items, reached a record of USD 67.6 billion, according to the Organic Trade Association's 2023 Organic Industry Survey. This has correspondingly increased organic produce sales, increasing the demand for biopesticides as more farmers attempt to meet organic standards by managing pest populations effectively.
