The global bioherbicides market size is expected to reach USD 4.14 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is estimated to expand at a strong CAGR of 15.7% during the forecast period. Increasing preferences for organic farming along with rising consumption of eco-friendly weed control products is projected to drive the market in the near future.
Innovations in organic farming practices for sustainable crop cultivation are also expected to bolster the market growth over the forecast period. Shifting consumer preference toward greener and nutritional diet is fueling the demand for organically produced food grains and vegetables, which, in turn, will boost the market growth.
Bioherbicide products are also used in gardening, maintenance of golf courses, and clearing of railway tracks. This is expected to further contribute toward the industry development in the turf and ornament sector. Various regulatory norms and policies to promote organic farming are projected to increase product demand in the North America and Europe regions. However, the availability of cheap, chemical-based herbicides may hinder market growth.
