Summary：In the backdrop of
green agricultural development, China's bio - insecticide sector boomed in
2025. The government subsidized and regulated its growth. With consumers'
rising safety and environmental awareness, market demand grew, scale expanded
and competition intensified. Varieties like spinetoram were in focus, and R
& D investment increased. Despite gaps with developed - country markets, it
has great potential and will likely play a key role in global green agriculture.
Against the backdrop of the green
development of agriculture, the Chinese bio - insecticide sector in 2025 is
showing a new trend of vigorous development. From policy orientation to market
supply and demand, and then to product technological innovation, unique
development trends are emerging.
Policy Aspect
The government will continue to subsidize
farmers for the use of bio - based pesticides, and give priority to promoting
the use of biopesticides in specialized prevention and control measures. It is
estimated that by the end of 2025, 45% of the plant protection application
areas of rice, corn, and wheat in China will adopt biopesticides, and fruit,
vegetable, and tea crops have also been given priority for inclusion in the
scope of use.
At the same time, the government has strict
access conditions for pesticide production, optimizes the production layout,
controls the number of new enterprises, urges pesticide enterprises to move
into parks, encourages the development of highly efficient and low - risk
pesticides, eliminates backward production capacity, strictly checks the
renewal of production licenses, and encourages mergers and reorganizations.
Market Aspect
With the enhancement of consumers' awareness
of agricultural product safety and environmental protection, the demand for bio
- insecticides in the cultivation of cash crops such as vegetables and fruits
will increase significantly, and the overall market demand is on an upward
trend.
Market competition will become more
intense. Enterprises like Qianjiang Biochemical, which have core technologies
and layout advantages, will have more room for development, while some small
pesticide enterprises with weak competitiveness may withdraw from the market.
According to a report by CIC 灼识咨询，the
market size of biopesticides in China was 15.03 billion yuan in 2022, and it is
expected to grow to 33.09 billion yuan by 2027, with an average annual compound
growth rate of 17.1%.
Technology Aspect
In 2025, key bio - insecticide varieties of
concern include spinetoram, etc. Main varieties such as Bacillus thuringiensis,
avermectin, and emamectin benzoate continue to occupy a certain market share.
Enterprises are increasing their R & D
investment. For example, Qianjiang Biochemical relies on innovation platforms,
cooperates with universities and research institutes to enhance its R & D
capabilities and promote technological innovation in bio - insecticides.
In some developed countries such as the
United States and some EU countries, the bio - insecticide market is relatively
mature.
Take France as an example. Data from
kynetec shows that bio - insecticides in this country account for nearly 17% of
the entire insecticide market. All French grape growers use biopesticides.
Grape and fruit growers have a long history of using bio - fungicides and bio -
insecticides, and the product penetration rate had approached 100% by 2023.
In addition, international pesticide giants
such as Corteva, Syngenta, and BASF, with their strong financial and R & D
strength, are in a leading position in the basic research and new product
development of bio - insecticides.
According to QYResearch, the global
biopesticide market sales reached 4.9 billion US dollars in 2023, and it is
expected to reach 10.3 billion US dollars by 2030, with a compound annual
growth rate (CAGR) of 10.9% (2024 - 2030).
In conclusion, although there are still
gaps in market penetration and R & D depth compared with the mature markets
of some developed countries, due to its huge market potential and increasing
investment, Chinese bio - insecticides are expected to play an increasingly
important role on the global green agriculture stage, contribute to the
realization of sustainable agricultural development, and safeguard the safety
of agricultural products and the ecological environment.
