Agriculture Biologicals Testing Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Product Type (Biofertilizers, Biopesticides, Biostimulants and Other Product Types), Application (Analytical, Field Support, Regulatory Bioassays, Genetic Analysis and Other Applications), End User and by Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Agriculture Biologicals Testing Market is accounted for $2.95 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $5.50 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 9.3% during the forecast period. Agricultural biologicals are biologically based topical or seed treatment solutions like Efficacy, toxicity, stability, and microbiological analyses on biofertilizers, biopesticides, and biostimulants are only a few examples of the numerous kinds of tests that are included under the umbrella term """"agricultural biologicals testing."""" that are primarily used to substitute chemicals in agriculture operations. Farmers also depend on agricultural biologicals since they prohibit the use of synthetic and chemical fertilizers in order to raise food that is wholesome and nutritious.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. agriculture sector extends beyond the farm business to include a range of farm-related industries. In 2021, agriculture, food, and related industries contributed 5.4% to U.S. gross domestic product and provided 10.5% of U.S. employment.

Market Dynamics

Driver

Rising demand in organic farming methods

Growing environmental protection concerns, increased organic crop production, especially in developing nations, and increased knowledge of sustainable agriculture will be the main drivers of the market for agricultural biological testing. Additionally, some other significant factors supporting the development of the agricultural biological testing market include escalating concerns over food safety, rising knowledge of the advantages of organic farming methods, an increase in industrialization, and rising costs for research and development expertise in relation to new product launches which fuels the growth of the market.

Restraint

High cost

Small and medium-sized businesses may face major challenges due to the expense of agricultural biological testing. Moreover, field trials and efficacy evaluations might have significant financial costs attached to them when performing extensive testing. Therefore, as a result smaller players may be discouraged from entering the market or may have fewer opportunities to compete successfully.

Opportunity

Technological advancements

The agricultural biologicals testing market report details recent developments, trade laws, import-export analysis, production analysis, value chain optimization, market share, and the effects of domestic and regional market participants. Furthermore, it also examines revenue opportunities, regulatory changes, category market expansions, application niches and dominance, product approvals, and market size.

Threat

Lack of knowledge and awareness

A significant aspect that will offer a significant hurdle to the expansion of the agricultural biologicals testing market is a lack of knowledge and awareness in the developing nations. Moreover, the growth rate of the agricultural biologicals testing market will also be slowed down by a lack of unnecessary infrastructure facilities, a lack of regulations in agrarian economies, and a lack of technical skills, especially in developing economies.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak had a mixed effect on the global market for agricultural biological testing, due to a decrease in R&D spending in some regions as a result of unstable economic conditions and has disrupted global supply chains, which has also had an impact on the availability of testing reagents and raw materials. Moreover, delivery of essential testing inputs has been delayed due to transport and trade limitations, which has a negative impact on the timely completion of testing processes.

The biopesticides segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

Due to increased use of biopesticides in soil, foliage, and grasses, notably in North American and European nations, the global market for agricultural biological testing has seen the most significant increase for biopesticides during the forecast period. Chemicals that control a variety of pests are found in microbial pesticides. Moreover, this popular microbial insecticide uses different strains of Bacillus thuringiensis to combine nutrients and kill pests. Hence these aspects increase the market size.

The foilar spray segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

During the forecast period, it is anticipated that the foilar spray segment would have profitable growth because, the market for agricultural biologicals testing includes a section known as foliar spray that tests and evaluates biological products that are sprayed onto crops to enable effective absorption and utilization by the plant. The foliar spray portion of agricultural biologicals testing includes regulatory compliance assessments, field trials, laboratory testing, and regulatory compliance evaluations. These studies examine the effectiveness of foliar spray in controlling pests and diseases, the health and productivity of crops, and potential environmental effects.

Region with largest share

Due to the strong presence of foreign agricultural product manufacturing organizations, with the bulk of producers situated in the United States, North America held the biggest market share over the projected period. The rise is also attributed to the region's agricultural practices, which are constantly changing as a consequence of technological advancements, ongoing research and development, and governmental regulations that support sustainable farming practices.

Region with highest CAGR

Europe is anticipated to have lucrative growth during the projection period due to the fact that organic farming subsequently occupies around 7% of the region's total agricultural acreage, which is twice as much as conventional farming. More than 250,000 farms regularly harvest organs in Europe, where organic farming has increased by 70% during the last ten years. Germany, France, Italy, and the United Kingdom make up the top five European retail markets for organic produce. As a consequence of ongoing technological advancement, research and innovation, and regulatory changes that support sustainable farming practices, the area is expanding.

Key Developments

In March 2023, a new collaboration between Bayer and the agricultural biotech company Oerth Bio has been established to develop crop protection products that are less harmful to the environment. With lower application rates and better safety profiles, Oerth Bio's patented protein degradation technology would result in products that aid Bayer in achieving its sustainability aim of lessening the impact of agriculture on the environment.

In March 2023, Bayer and the agricultural biotech firm Oerth Bio launched a new partnership to create the crop protection solutions of the future that are more environmentally friendly. Oerth Bio's proprietary protein degradation technology has the potential to produce goods that help Bayer achieve its sustainability goal of reducing the environmental effect of agriculture through lower application rates and better safety profiles.

In November 2022, ALS Limited announced the acquisition of Serambiente which has 15 years of experience in environmental testing services and agricultural testing services.

In September 2022, ALS Limited announced the acquisition of HRL Holdings in order to expand its portfolio in food and environmental & agricultural testing services.

In February 2021, SGS SA announced a partnership with RLP AgroScience, which will allow more complex, tailor-made experimental designs to be provided for environmental and human safety assessments of pesticides, chemicals, biocides, and human drugs/veterinary drugs.
