DunhamTrimmer® Global Biocontrol Market Report
Market Overview, Trends, Drivers and Insights
The 2023 DunhamTrimmer Global Biocontrol Market Report quantifies the Biocontrol market and its numerous subsegments for products used in Agriculture, Forestry, and Industrial Uses. It provides insights into all four Product Type subcategories of Biocontrol: Microbials, Biochemicals, Macrobials, and Others. It also segments the market by Use Segments: Bioinsecticides, Biofungicides, Bionematicides, Bioherbicides, and Plant Growth Regulators.
Spanning more than 350 pages, this unprecedented Market Report offers the insider’s perspective on the Global Biocontrol Market to assist in development and execution of sound business strategy.
The Biocontrol Market has nearly doubled in size since DunhamTrimmer issued its first Global Biocontrol Report in 2019. While our 2019 report found the global Biocontrol market growing at 15-17% CAGR, we now see this market growing at reduced rate from 2023-2029. As the early adopting regions, growth rates in the US and Western EU are slowing at a faster rate than other markets. Yet despite this deceleration, there remain several countries and regions that continue to experience rapid expansion, particularly Latin America.
By 2029, DunhamTrimmer projects the global Biocontrol market will exceed $15 billion. This is an amazing achievement for an industry that didn’t reach $1 billion in global sales until 2010.
Microbial and biochemical products continue to dominate the Biocontrol market, representing over 90% of global revenue. Bioinsecticides and biofungicides are the leading use segments for Biocontrol products, representing more than 70% of global revenue. The fastest-growing use segment is bionematicides, driven largely by adoption of these products in row crops in LATAM. Macroorganisms continue to be found primarily in protected markets, but we are seeing an increasing trend for their introduction in some outdoor crops.
The 2023 DunhamTrimmer Global Biocontrol Market Report includes a one-of-kind, in-depth section Defining Biocontrol technologies. It also features a detailed look at the Trends and Drivers that are helping to shape the industry. Since Regulatory systems remain a key influencing factor on the pace of Biocontrol market development, the Report includes an insightful section on regulatory agencies and processes in key markets. The US market has benefited from EPA establishing a dedicated Biopesticide Division nearly 30 years ago, and recent regulatory reforms in Brazil have helped fuel the rapid market expansion now occurring there. Much of the slowdown in the EU remains a challenging regulatory environment, particularly for microbial-based Biocontrol products.
From a numbers perspective, data and forecasts are provided for: 5 Global Regions, 21 Key Countries, and 9 Crop Groups. Market regional and country outlooks are further segmented by 4 Product Types, 5 Use Segments, and 5 Application types.
Finally, DunhamTrimmer scores and profiles 120 of the Leading Companies in the Global Biocontrol space using its proprietary Consolidated Strength Rating (CSR) system. This scoring includes assessment of product portfolio, global footprint, innovation and disruption capacity, and top-line revenue estimates.
The Report concludes with STEP (a.k.a. PEST, PESTLE) Analysis, a Porter’s 5 Forces Analysis, and SWOT analysis.

Market Projections
The research methodology used for determination of the Value-Added Fertilizer values utilized a proprietary algorithm centering on various facets of the following key variables: application mode (type and frequency), typical use rates, and percent adoption by crop by country as described below:
- Harvested area
- Treated hectares
- Average number of applications
- Level of penetration
- Cost per application
- Rate per hectare
- Estimated growth in the penetration level
- Estimated price increase per application
Key Countries: For each of our Reports, DunhamTrimmer identifies Key Countries (and subregions) for use as our primary quantitative analysis of the market, then develops a qualitative analysis for the balance of countries. Identification of Key Countries for the Value-Added Fertilizer Report was based on current and future market values. Important distinctions are referenced to determine more effectively the size and scope of the VAF market. All of the variables identified are finely tuned to reflect conditions specific to each Key Country, adding geographic context to the size and direction of the market. Values for minor countries and other subregions have been estimated based on the assumption that they will develop analogously to the major countries around them. Market and product data for these countries is extremely difficult to come by, and diminishing returns outpaces their limited impact on the global market either individually or in the aggregate. In some of these lesser markets, however, we were able to glean highly accurate information and no extrapolation was necessary.
