The India agricultural biologicals market size was valued at USD 573.85 million in 2024. The market is projected to grow from USD 652.50 million in 2025 to USD 1,646.03 million by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 14.13% during the forecast period.

Agricultural biologicals are agricultural inputs that are derived from biological sources such as food, plants, trees, and biological waste. They are a good substitute for conventional chemicals and will help to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. Moreover, use of biologicals in agriculture can lead to reduced carbon emissions and maintain the ecological balance. The market in India is relatively smaller than the synthetic crop protection chemicals industry. Some of the major agricultural biological products are biofertilizers, biopesticides, and biostimulants.
