The global agricultural biologicals market size was valued at USD 15.29 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow from USD 17.42 billion in 2025 to USD 44.70 billion by 2032, reflecting a CAGR of 14.41% during the forecast period. In 2024, North America held the largest market share at 31.46%. Additionally, the U.S. agricultural biologicals market is projected to reach USD 10.09 billion by 2032, driven by the rising prevalence of plant diseases and increased registration and approval of agricultural biological products.

The excessive use of crop protection chemicals, which harms the environment, is expected to drive demand for biological products. These products can be used independently or combined with synthetic pest-resistant chemicals. Their broad agricultural applications are projected to accelerate market growth. Moreover, rising demand for agricultural biologicals in pre- and post-harvest crop management is anticipated to support market expansion. Commercialization can be enhanced through product innovation strategies, comprehensive last-mile services, and strong marketing and distribution networks.
