Neem based Pesticides Market driven by growing organic agricultural practices

The global Neem based Pesticides Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 2.08 Billion in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 14% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Neem based pesticides are plant-derived pest control products made from extracts of the neem tree. Neem contains compounds like azadirachtin that have insect antifeedant, insect growth regulation and insecticidal properties. Neem based pesticides are increasingly being used as an alternative to synthetic pesticides in agriculture owing to their safety, biodegradability and suitability for organic farming practices. The rising demand for organic food products has fueled the adoption of organic farming techniques that rely on plant-derived biopesticides like neem formulations. Neem based fungicides and nematicides are also used in non-agricultural applications such as control of fungal growth in household items. The environmental sustainability and relatively low toxicity of neem extracts make them ideal for integrated pest management programs.

Market key trends:

One of the key trends in the neem based pesticides market is the advancement of new formulation technologies. Researchers are exploring methods to enhance the efficacy and stability of neem extracts through nanoencapsulation, nanoparticle synthesis and other novel formulation approaches. Nano-sized neem particles have shown potential for controlled release of active principles and improved penetration in plants. Such innovations are expected to boost the demand for neem biopesticides. Another significant trend is the widening application scope of neem pesticides. Apart from conventional row crops, neem products are gaining popularity for use in fruits, vegetables, plantation crops as well as forestry and urban landscaping. Rapid growth in global organic agricultural land and stringent regulations on chemical pesticides will continue to drive the neem based pesticides market during the forecast period.
