South America Biopesticides Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the South America Biopesticides Market according to our research experts:

Bioherbicides is the largest Form

  • Biopesticides are naturally occurring substances or agents derived from animals, plants, insects, and microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi, used to manage agricultural pests and infections.
  • The biopesticides market was dominated by field crops, which accounted for about 80.5% and were valued at about USD 302.9 million in 2022. The dominance of field crops was mainly due to their large cultivation area in South America.
  • Bioherbicides accounted for 35.0% of South America's biopesticides market in 2022. Bioherbicides consist of microorganisms such as pathogens and other microbes or phytotoxins derived from microbes, insects, or plant extracts that act as a natural means of weed control.
  • Biofungicides accounted for 24.2% of the South American biopesticides market in 2022. Bacillus species have wide applications in pest control. The formation of spores makes them adaptable and resistant to stress, making it easy to industrialize production and storage, thus increasing the potential for the application of Bacillus species. Bacillus subtilis can effectively control the plant pathogenic bacteria Fusarium and Rhizoctonia. It can also prevent diseases and promote crop growth.
  • Bioinsecticides accounted for 17.8% of South America's biopesticides market in 2022. Brazil dominated the bioinsecticides market with a share of 57.7% in the same year. In Brazil, there is a complex of insects that attack soybean crops. Lepidopterans and stink bugs are the most common insects that require extensive care. These insects cause direct damage (yield reduction) and indirect damage (reduced grain quality) to soybean and other crops.

Brazil is the largest Country

  • The South American biopesticides market has seen significant growth and dominance in recent years, particularly in Brazil, which accounted for 82.7% of the market share in 2022. This growth is due to the registration of 433 biopesticides in Brazil as of March 2022, representing a 404% increase over the past nine years. Bioherbicides are the most consumed biopesticides in Brazil, which accounted for 38.15% of the market share in 2022, followed by biofungicides, other biopesticides, and bioinsecticides.
  • The success of bioherbicides can be attributed to their target-specific weedicide action, which does not harm the crops they are applied to. Argentina accounted for 28.4% of the South American biopesticides market in 2022, with row crops dominating the market with a share of 88.5%. The consumption volume of biopesticides by row crops was 19.3 thousand metric tons in 2022, and it is expected to reach 36.0 thousand metric tons by the end of the forecast period.
  • The Rest of South America accounted for 13.5% of the market share in 2022, with bioherbicides being the most consumed type in crop cultivation at 31.8%, followed by biofungicides and bioinsecticides at 23.2% and 18.6%, respectively. The ban on several chemical pesticides in the region presents an opportunity for the growth of the biopesticides market, as seen with the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation in Peru banning highly toxic pesticides and training over 120,000 people on proper pesticide use, marketing, and production.
  • The South American biopesticides market is poised for continued growth and expansion, particularly in Brazil, as more farmers adopt sustainable and eco-friendly pest control methods.
