Future prospects as sustainable crop protection tools

With increased regulatory restrictions and public rejection of the most hazardous chemical pesticides, biological pesticides present a promising long-term sustainable solution for both small-scale and industrial-scale farmers. As production challenges are addressed through innovation and economics of scale, their use will likely rise significantly. Some estimates suggest the global biopesticides market will grow over 7% annually through 2025.

Major agrochemical companies are also investing heavily in biopesticide research and product development alongside established biocontrol enterprises. If technical and economic barriers around widespread application continue to fall, biological alternatives may one day compete effectively with and even replace many conventional chemical pest control methods, benefiting both agricultural productivity and environmental protection goals globally.
