REPORT SCOPE
INTRODUCTION
REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
With the increased environmental awareness and the pollution potential and health hazards from many conventional pesticides, the demand for nature-based biopesticides has been rising steadily in all parts of the world.
The biopesticides offer several advantages:
- Biopesticides are safer than conventional pesticides, which are often hazardous chemicals.
- Biopesticides offer much more targeted activity to the desired pests, whereas conventional pesticides often affect a broad spectrum of pests as well as birds and mammalian species.
- Biopesticides often are effective in very small quantities, thereby offering lower exposure. They decompose quickly, leaving virtually no harmful residue and allowing field re-entry almost immediately after application.
- Biopesticides can be used in rotation with conventional pesticides when used in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. Such programs can offer high crop yields while dramatically reducing the use of conventional pesticides.
The popularity of biopesticides has increased substantially in recent years, as extensive and systematic research has enhanced their effectiveness. A number of research centers around the world are undertaking research aimed at improving techniques for the augmentation and application of biopesticides, with the objective of improving the commercial feasibility of producing and using biopesticides.
Under these circumstances, there is need for current and comprehensive reports on biopesticides covering aspects of technology, demand trends, project opportunities, and investment levels.
This study examines the worldwide commercial applications of biopesticides and their markets and growth opportunities. This study also looks into the extent of market penetration of a number of biopesticides that have been recently introduced.
This study gives a clear, quantitative picture of the supply and demand scenario and highlights the technological and investment opportunities in the field.
STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
This report provides the reader with a detailed analysis of the global biopesticides industry. It also discusses technological developments, future trends, and emerging opportunities. This information will be useful for those involved in strategic planning, marketing, sales, and technological development.
The major objectives of this study are as follows:
- To assess the technology developments
- To identify the driving factors for demand
- To make available the most current and reliable information on the market size
- To estimate the global supply and demand scenario broken down by applications and regions
- To estimate the growth rate in demand
- To estimate the projected global supply and demand scenario over the next 5 years and analyzing it via application sectors as well as product types
- To identify the factors influencing this industry and make appropriate recommendations.
SCOPE OF REPORT
This technical market report organizes information from diverse sources into a cohesive unit that includes overview, industry structure, technology, and emerging technology/patents sections.
