China Biocontrol Agents Market Trends

Macrobials is the largest Form

• Macrobial biocontrol agents dominated the Chinese biocontrol agents market. They were valued at about USD 279.2 million in 2022. The domination of macrobial biocontrol agents is mainly due to their ability to control a wide range of pests.
• Predators dominate the macrobial biocontrol agents market. The dominance of the predators segment in the overall biocontrol agents market is mainly due to their ability to attack different life stages of pests and even different pest species. Predators are voracious feeders compared to other biocontrol agents, accounting for about 47.4% of the overall biocontrol agents market in 2022.
• Microbial biocontrol agents accounted for less than 1% of the Chinese biocontrol agents market value in 2022. The limited market share of microbial biocontrol agents is mainly due to their complex mode of action and less awareness among the farmers in the country. Microbial agents have the scope to increase their market share due to their ability to control a wide range of pests and diseases.
• Bacterial biocontrol agents dominate the microbial biocontrol agents market. The dominance of bacterial biocontrol agents is mainly due to their wide range of strategies. They may interact directly or indirectly with the pathogen to prevent or minimize plant disease via one or a combination of mechanisms.
• The Chinese government's initiatives to decrease the overall use of chemical pesticides and the development of local organic agriculture were planned by municipal governments at all levels. They also introduced incentives to encourage producers to switch to organic farming. These factors are expected to further drive the biocontrol agents market in the country during the forecast period.
