Agricultural biologicals are a diverse group of products derived from naturally occurring microorganisms, plant extracts, beneficial insects or other organic matter. They provide growers with valuable tools by delivering highly effective solutions in managing pests and diseases without creating negative impacts on the environment, and their active and inert ingredients are generally considered safe. Besides the microbial content, carrier media for formulating biologicals consist of several organic materials, such as animal broth, organic materials, or organic waste products. The media is a biodegradable material.
Besides impacts on humans, chemicals do cause significant damage to the environment. There have been many cases around the world where freshwater used for agriculture is getting polluted with harmful pesticides, causing serious damage to the fauna and flora of the freshwater. Therefore, many environment-friendly organizations, such as Environmental Protection Agency, have opposed pesticides. For instance, a recent study conducted by researchers at the Public Health Institute, the California Department of Health Services, and the UC Berkeley School of Public Health found a six-fold increase in risk factors for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) for children of women who were exposed to organochlorine pesticides. All these factors positively affect the growth of the global agricultural biologicals market.
Biologicals are always safer and easier on the environment than chemical products. They are often formulated to only affect the target pest and closely related organisms (selective) in direct contrast to chemicals, which frequently offer broad sweeping coverage (non-selective) negatively impacting insects, birds, and anything else in contact with them. Biologicals contain natural organisms or products, therefore less threatening to the environment and human health. Biologicals have attracted attention in pest management and have long been promoted as prospective alternatives to synthetic pesticides.
Hence, increasing environmental and public health hazards due to chemicals and growing awareness about environmental safety with the use of biologicals fuel the growth of the global agricultural biologicals market.
The Impact of COVID-19 on the Agricultural Biologicals Market
The COVID-19 pandemic adversely hit many economies around the globe. Complete lockdown and quarantine to fight COVID-19 adversely impacted many industries globally, including agriculture and crop protection. In the agriculture sector, the agriculture biologicals market registered a strong slowdown in sales in the first quarter of 2020, mainly due to the disturbance in logistics and transportation. Along with logistics and transportation, the agriculture biologicals market registered interruptions in the entire sector's value chain from raw materials supply to manufacturing, packaging, and distribution.

COVID-19 resulted in the movement restrictions of workers, a decline in demand from farmers, and the closure of production facilities. The industry also suffered severe labor shortages due to repeated lockdowns that affected the production and trade movements. The decline in business for a few initial months in 2020, coupled with lower demand from a few major markets, put pressure on the profitability of agriculture biological manufacturers and vendors.
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on this market were felt in China starting in 2020, as the country is one of the world's largest raw material suppliers for the agriculture biologicals industry. Most European and North American agriculture biologicals companies are majorly imported key active ingredients used in producing biologicals, mainly from China and other Asian countries. The current crisis being persistent suggested low availability of raw materials as the cropping season progressed. This created a scarcity of products in high-growth markets, such as the U.S., Brazil, Spain, and Italy.
Therefore, a complete halt in the transportation and logistics industry and reduced production in some countries due to lockdowns are projected to adversely affect the global agricultural biologicals market in terms of volume sales in 2020 and 2021.
