Fact box: Markets, biocontrol, and bioyield
- Enzymes are proteins, produced by a living organism, which act as catalysts to bring about specific biochemical reactions
- The global value of crop production is approximately two trillion dollars
- The global Ag inputs market (seed, pesticides, and fertilizer) is approximately 300 billion dollars – with the market for pesticides approximately USD 90 billion
- There are two main segments for biologicals:
- The biocontrol segment in which biological products are used to supplement and replace chemical pesticides to control insects and microbial diseases. Today, this segment is a five billion dollar-market.
- The bioyield segment in which biological products are used to enhance plant nutrition and/or to stimulate plant growth. This market today is about a three billion dollars.
- Both biological markets are growing; biocontrol is the fastest growing and forecasted to experience double-digit growth for the foreseeable future, doubling in about five years.
