Microencapsulation technology allows for the controlled release of active pesticide ingredients, resulting in improved efficacy. The encapsulation protects the pesticide from environmental degradation, extends its residual activity, and ensures targeted delivery to the intended pests or target sites.

Increasing Demand for Sustainable Agriculture: There is a growing global emphasis on sustainable agriculture practices, which includes minimizing the environmental impact of pesticide use. Microencapsulated pesticides offer controlled release, reduced leaching, and targeted delivery, making them an attractive option for farmers seeking sustainable pest control solutions.

Europe dominated the microencapsulated pesticides market, accounting for approximately 34.0% of total sales in 2022. This is due to increased agricultural productivity throughout European countries. The increasing number of people and rising food consumption have been the primary drivers of market expansion in Europe. Europe is the leading producer of rice, wheat, grain, potatoes, soy beans, and other crops. Growing agricultural activities are expected to increase demand for microencapsulated insecticides in Europe in the coming years.
