Polyoxin Market Report: Insights and Forecast (2023-2031

Polyoxins are a class of naturally occurring antibiotics extensively used as bio-pesticides in crop protection. Actively taking part in the agriculture sector, polyoxins prevent fungal pathogens by inhibiting chitin synthesis to form fungal cell walls. Figure 1: Usage of Polyoxins in Agriculture Polyoxins are most preferred type of bio-pesticides in agriculture and holds highest market demand as more organic and environmentally friendly solutions are being sought for the sustainable production of food. As more and more advanced agricultural activities are taking place to meet the growing demand for food, polyoxins are receiving more attention due to its safety and environmental friendliness.

Market Overview

Polyoxin enjoys a strong position at the vanguard of the burgeoning trend toward sustainability in agricultural production Figure 1 deals with the global polyoxin market. According to the forecast, the global polyoxin market is anticipated to generate a US$ XX million value by 2023. Whereas its market volume will reach US$ XX million by 2031, surging at a CAGR of XX% during the period between 2023 and 2031. The skyrocketing utilization of bio-fungicides in traditional agriculture (conventional farming system) and sustainable agriculture (organic farming system) is the most prominent driver of this market’s growth.

Market Drivers

Growing Demand for Environment-friendly Fungicides: Consumers as well as regulatory authorities are increasingly focused to sustainable farming techniques. This has led to increased focus on bio-fungicides as safer alternatives to synthetic chemical pesticides. As polyoxins are nature-based fungicides, they are non-toxic to humans, animals, and beneficial insects and thus reduce the risk posed to consumers. This only strengthens the use of polyoxins in line with the principle of integrated pest management (IPM).

Expansion in Organic Farming: The global shift toward the practice of organic farming is also a main motivator for the polyoxin market. Systems of organic farming generally rely on crop-protection solutions from natural or biobased resources, thus encouraging production and demand for products such as polyoxins.

 Rising demands on Crop Protection : With a growing global population putting ever-increasing pressure on our food supply and demanding ever more productive food, in order to feed a projected 9 billion people by 2050, the requirement for fungicides and other crop-growth aids will increase. Demand for safe, effective fungicides such as polyoxin is rising particularly for fruit, vegetable, cereal and ornamental crops.

 Promotion by Regulators: There is a global move to find ways to reduce harmful chemical inputs into agricultural systems and substituting pesticides with polyoxins will take a boost with positive regulations from the governments around the globe.

Market Segmentation

1. By Product Type

The turf Given the widespread applications of polyoxins, the global polyoxin market has been anticipated to witness significant growth in the forthcoming years, with turf and lawns segment catching up in the near future. Segment Emerges As An Attractive Opportunity With Least Possibilities Of Decline In The Foreseeable Future: Global polyoxin market is segmented on the basis of application into fruits, vegetables, fruits and ornamental plants, ornamental plants and turf and lawns. Turf and lawns segment is anticipated to witness promising growth in the forthcoming years. Owing to high tendency of fungal attacks on golf courses, sports fields and parks, polyoxins are being used widely across turf and lawns segment.

Regional Insights

The demand for polyoxin is high in the Asia-Pacific region in 2023, due to its extensive agricultural activities in countries. The Asia-Pacific is the world's biggest farming destination with countries like China, India and Japan with high percentage of agriculture. There is a growing awareness for bio-fungicides in Asia-Pacific and also a rise in organic farming which is leading to large scale adoption of bio-fungicides leading to this region to be the key region in terms of growth.North America and Europe also have large market opportunities because of the growing demand for organic produce with high quality and since there are strict requirements for chemical pesticide usage.

Competitive Landscape

Key players in the polyoxin market include:

Kaken Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

BASF SE

Certis USA LLC

Jiangsu Fengyuan Bioengineering Co., Ltd.

Arysta LifeScience Corporation

These companies are on a quest to widen their product pipeline by creating novel polyoxin formulations. Strategic alliances, mergers and acquisitions are likely to be common strategies to gain competitive advantage.

Market Trends

 Rising Adoption of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Growing number of farmers around the world are integrating bio-pesticides such as polyoxins into Integrated Pest Management (IPM), a system of crop management that combines biological, cultural, physical and chemical methods to prevent pests and control chemical usage while maintaining effective pest control.

R&D on Polyoxin Formulation

Due to the strong demand for polyoxin, firms are improving the formulation to make it more effective, with broader use and lower price.

Regulatory Promotions for Bio-Fungicides:

Regulatory bodies and governments in both first and third world countries are providing incentives to use bio-fungicides, prompting an increase in the usage of polyoxins as well.

 Eco-farmers turning to sustainable agricultural Practices:

An important trend is that increasing numbers of farmers use eco-friendly agricultural systems. Bio-fungicides will certainly be in demand as the organic farming industry grows, especially in region which is strong in the sector.

Challenges

 Despite the positive market prospects, certain factors may hamper the growth of the market. Due to higher prices than chemical fungicides, polyoxin products is the major factor limiting the growth of the market. Moreover, lack of awareness by small scale farmers in developing countries can also impede the growth of polyoxin market.

Conclusion

Polyoxin market witness significant growth is expected in the forecast period from 2023 to 2031. Plant pathogens like nematodes, fungi, blast, bacterial blight, flower and stalk rot and bud rot are treated with polyoxins, which are an eco-friendly and sustainable crop protection solution, and thus the demand for polyoxins is rising. The market is estimated to reach US$ XX million in 2031 due to growing popularity of organic farming practices, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy and favourable regulations for bio pesticides.
