Global Bioherbicide Market Driven by its Environment-friendly Nature

A new report from Transparency Market Research, titled ‘Bioherbicide Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2014 - 2020,’ states that the global bioherbicide market is expected to expand swiftly during the period between 2014 and 2020 due to its beneficial features such as the environment-friendly nature of bioherbicides and longevity.

Herbicides or weedkillers are pesticides used to kill unwanted plants and weeds. Bioherbicides are a kind of herbicide derived from microbes to monitor the growth of undesirable weeds and plants. Bioherbicides are primarily made up of particular microorganisms and insects that can be targeted against particular weeds. Parasitic wasps and painted lady butterflies are two of the insects used to produce bioherbicide. Some of the microorganisms utilized in the production of bioherbicide are fungi, bacteria, and viruses. The microorganisms are used in the production of bioherbicide possess genes that attack the defense genes of weeds.
Usually, bioherbicides have a selective response and kill only weeds that obstruct the crop produce. Factors such as eco-friendliness, longevity, and cheaper costs have boosted the demand for bioherbicides in the recent past. As bioherbicides target particular weeds, they don’t affect other organisms that are essential for the crop’s growth. Bioherbicides derived from fungi are popularly called as mycoherbicides. Bioherbicides, in the pesticide industry, are commonly referred to as ‘naturals’, due to their eco-friendly nature.
The environment-friendly nature of bioherbicides is predicted to propel the global bioherbicide market during the period between 2014 and 2020. Pesticides with synthetic chemicals affect the ecosystem adversely. Certain regulatory authorities are restricting the use of pesticides, which is expected to boost the demand for bioherbicides in the coming few years. There are numerous applications where the use of herbicides is restricted due to cost effectiveness and regulatory concerns. Bioherbicides act as the perfect alternative to these herbicides, as they are environment-friendly and do not contaminate water bodies.
Improvements in genetic engineering are predicted to create growth opportunities in the global bioherbicide market in the years to come. Further, new-generation bioherbicides are predicted to be even more effective against weeds. Bioherbicides find their applications in the leisure industry and crop control chemicals. The increasing use of bioherbicides to treat golf courses and other grass fields is predicted to propel the global bioherbicide market in the years to come.
Bioherbicides are applied on numerous crops. Phytophthora palmivora is utilized to control milkweeds in citrus orchids, whereas Alternaria eichhornia finds its applications in managing the growth of water hyacinth.
The global bioherbicide market is divided by geography into Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, and Rest of the World. In 2013, in terms of demand, Asia Pacific dominated the global bioherbicide market and is also expected to register the fastest growth in the coming few years. Increasing demand for bioherbicides across Asia Pacific is expected to propel the Asia Pacific bioherbicide market in the next few years. North America is expected to be the second largest market in the global bioherbicide market throughout the forecast period.
Some of the leading players expected to majorly contribute towards the growth of the global bioherbicide market are Jiangsu Dongbao Agrochemical Co., Ltd., Marrone Bio Innovations, Isagro SpA, Hindustan Bio-tech, and Bayer CropScience AG.

Malt ingredients are materials used for the purpose of brewing alcoholic beverages such as beer and whiskey. Malt ingredients are used for producing malt shakes, malt vinegar, and numerous flavored beverages such as Milo, Ovaltine, and Horlicks. Furthermore, malt ingredients are utilized in various baked products such as bagels and malt loaf. Malted barley, an essential ingredient in blended flours, is used for making yeast bread and some other baked products.

The global malt ingredients market is segmented on the basis of application, geography, raw material, and type. Based on type, the global malt ingredients market is classified into base malt and specialty malt.

The growing demand from the food and beverages industry is expected to have a positive impact on the global malt ingredients market in the next few years. Further, the rising preference for packaged and convenience food products is expected to drive the global malt ingredients market in the coming few years. People have become more health-conscious in recent years and are thus showing more interest in organic food. With the increasing health-consciousness, consumers are avoiding foods with chemicals and artificial elements. By raw material, the global malt ingredients market is divided into wheat malt, acidulated/Sauer malt, aromatic malt, biscuit malt, and others.


Malt ingredients find their application in alcoholic beverages, pharmaceuticals, and food and non-alcoholic beverages. The increasing applications of malt ingredients in alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages are predicted to propel the global malt ingredients market in the years to come. The beer industry, one of the major applications of malt ingredients, is expected to contribute massively towards the growth of the global malt ingredients market. Going forward, the growing popularity of craft beer and local beer is expected to fuel the demand for domestic malt. Due to the increasing production of several varieties of beer, foreign makers are sourcing numerous malt ingredients from the beer industry.

By geography, the global malt ingredients market is divided into Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, and Rest of the World. In 2014, the global malt ingredients market was led by North America, followed by Europe. Western Europe and Central Europe are expected to be promising markets in the global malt ingredients market in the years to come.

The entry of new companies is expected to make the global malt ingredients market highly competitive. High capital investment is the major challenge predicted to be faced by the new entrants during the initial stage of development. The malt ingredients market demands a large amount of investment for establishing a malt house and processing plant, and for purchasing the machinery. The increasing demand for wine might hamper the growth of the global malt ingredients market in the years to come.

The report points out that the increasing incidence of food-borne diseases and ailments that are associated with the presence of contaminants such as chemicals and pathogens is one of the major factors bolstering growth of the global food safety products market. In addition, rising awareness among consumers about consumption of qualitatively tested food and stringent regulatory norms that food manufacturers need to adhere to are favorable for the growth of the global food safety products and safety testing market.
On the contrary, the report also points out factors that are restraining the market’s growth. In developing and underdeveloped countries, lack of awareness among consumers about qualitative indices pertaining to food safety leads to product manufacturers not being strictly required to adhere to food safety regulations. Moreover, absence of standard compliance regulations for food safety at a regional level allows product manufacturers to expand operations and also leverage existing opportunities in the market.
By product, disinfection products were the largest segment and held a 43% share in the global market in 2011. This product segment, which had a valuation of US$4.4 bn in 2010, is poised to be worth US$8.3 bn by 2018, expanding at a CAGR of 8.2% for the period. However, smart labels and tags are expected to register the fastest growth at a CAGR of 9.1% from 2010 to 2018.
In terms of contaminant segmentation, the pathogens segment led the market, accounting for a 34% share in the global market in 2011. This is mainly due to their ubiquitous presence in meat and poultry food products. This segment was trailed by GMOs, toxins, and pesticides contaminant segments. Accounting for almost 42% of tests conducted for food safety, salmonella was registered as the leading pathogen in 2011.
In terms of the geographical breakdown of the global food safety products and food safety testing market, Europe contributed 34% of the revenue in the global market in 2011. This was followed by North America and Asia Pacific.
