Global Biopesticides Market: Soaring Popularity of Organic Food Fuels Demand, finds TMR

The global biopesticides market is partially consolidated with the top five players accounting for about half the market share. Some of the big names operating in the market are BASF SE, Arysta LifeSciences, Valent Biosciences Corp, Bayer CropScience AG, and Dow AgroSciences, Novozymes A/S. They have invested heavily in research and development of new biopesticides, particularly biochemical pesticides, microbial pesticides, and plant-pesticides.

The global market for biopesticides is regulated tightly by government. The U.S. Department of Agriculture and Department of Food and Drugs Administration were the first to formulate rules pertaining to pesticides. Later the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had been tasked with formulating rules and monitoring the market. The EPA has significantly supported research and development activities in the U.S. and this would likely lead to the unveiling of new biopesticides in the near future. Sensing opportunity in the market, prominent agrichemical companies have forayed into it through partnerships, licensing deals, and acquisitions.
The global market for biopesticides was worth US$1.96 bn in 2015 and is predicted to attain a value of US$4.17 bn by 2023 by clocking a CAGR of 9.9% from 2015 to 2023.
Spiking Demand for Organic Food Makes Microbial Pesticides the Dominant Segment
Among the various types of active ingredients used in biopesticides, the microbial pesticides lead the market. This is because in the past couple of years, many manufacturers have embarked upon the discovery of microbial biopesticides driven by the demand for organic food products. The segment is expected to expand at a healthy CAGR of 9.70% between 2015 and 2023.
Geographically, the global market for biopesticides can be divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. North America, among them, dominates the market with a leading share. In the near future too North America is expected to see steady growth powered by demand from the U.S. and Canada. Asia Pacific trails North America in terms of market share. In Europe, the countries of Spain, Italy, and France have emerged as prime markets, while the U.K. and Germany have emerged as hotspots for testing market receptiveness of new products. Strong emphasis on research and development activities by prominent players are primary factors fuelling the European biopesticides market.
High Toxicity of Chemical Pesticides Aids Uptake of Biopesticides
The soaring popularity of organic farming has primarily fuelled the global biopesticides market. Their popularity has resulted from the fact that biopesticides are essentially biological agents for controlling weeds, diseases, and pests in crops. “They are usually extracted from bacteria, animals, plants, and minerals. Their unique perceived benefits are that they are less toxic to humans and are highly effective in smaller quantities. Biopesticides are environment-friendly and are great alternatives to the traditional chemical pesticides. Biopesticides, being easily decomposable, do not leave any dangerous residue behind,” explains the analyst of the report. The increasing concerns about environment and the health hazards posed by chemical pesticides, coupled with regulations framed against them, have led to the significant uptake of biopesticides.

Superabrasives (Turning, Cutting, Buffing, Drilling, Boring, Grinding) Market Research Report 2025

An abrasive is a material which molds or provides finishing to a work piece through a process which includes buffing, grinding, cutting, as well as polishing. Abrasion typically depends on the difference in the hardness of the material and the abrasive (with the latter being the harder of the two). Unlike regular abrasion where any two solid materials that repeatedly rub against each other tend to wear away, superabrasives possess the kind of hardness that enables them to stay usable for a longer period of time. On the basis of hardness, the top two superabrasives include diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN). Industrial diamonds used as superabrasives are exceptionally hard materials. However, they display several technological limitations. For instance, when a diamond comes in contact with a ferrous alloy such as steel or a nickel superalloy, the resulting formation of carbide leads to its abrasion. Also, a diamond-containing tool can only be used at moderate temperatures a...

Industrial Lubricants Market: Strong Demand Across Automotive Industry, Trends To 2025

Lubricants refer to the organic or inorganic material primarily being use to decrease friction between two surfaces in contact. Lubricants play a key role in several industries as well as in commercial and residential sectors. One of their most common uses is in the lubrication of bearings and gears, allowing for their easy movement at high speeds, without loss in energy, prevent excessive generation of heat, or most importantly, prevent damage that would be caused otherwise. Industrial lubricants are, therefore, essential in enhancing the overall efficiency of a machine that contains moving parts in contact with one another. The global industrial lubricants market is currently expanding at a solid growth rate, driven by several factors and spearheaded by the likes of BP, Total, Chevron Corporation, ExxonMobil, and Shell.

Rapid Prototyping Market - Rapidly Gaining Importance in Aerospace Sector, Research By 2024

Rapid prototyping is a technique in which the physical modeling of a design is done with the help of specialized machining technology. It was developed initially in the mid-1980s, the principle used in this technology is of solid modeling with the help of computer programs (i.e. CAD). Solid modeling makes use of computer aided-design (CAD) data to completely describe not just the external shape of parts or equipment, but its interior volume as well as the outside surfaces. The computer model is sliced into thin layers and the part of the product or commodity to be modelled or developed as per the requirement, is eventually fabricated by adding layers onto each other. Obtain Report Details @   http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/rapid-prototyping-market.html The primary benefit of the system is that almost any shape can be manufactured using computerized programs. Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid proto...
