Biological Molluscicides Market Outlook 2025-2034: Market Share, and Growth Analysis By Type (Metaldehyde, Methiocarb, Ferrous Phosphate, Other Types), By Form (Pellet, Liquids, Gels), By Application

The Biological Molluscicides Market is valued at USD 8.6 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.3% to reach USD 19.2 billion by 2034.The biological molluscicides market has experienced steady growth as farmers and gardeners seek sustainable alternatives to chemical-based pest control methods. Biological molluscicides are derived from naturally occurring compounds or microorganisms that specifically target mollusks such as slugs and snails. Unlike chemical pesticides, these products offer an eco-friendly approach, minimizing risks to beneficial insects, pollinators, and the broader environment. With rising environmental awareness, stringent pesticide regulations, and increasing demand for organic agricultural products, biological molluscicides have become an integral component of integrated pest management (IPM) strategies. Technological advancements and ongoing research have significantly expanded the range and effectiveness of biological molluscicides. Improved formulations, better understanding of mollusk biology, and enhanced delivery mechanisms have led to more efficient and reliable products. The integration of biological molluscicides with other pest control measures—such as crop rotation, habitat management, and natural predators—has further strengthened their role in sustainable agriculture. As a result, these products are now widely used in organic farming, high-value crops, and home gardening, providing effective mollusk control while maintaining soil health and biodiversity. Regionally, Europe dominates the biological molluscicides market due to its strong emphasis on organic farming, strict pesticide regulations, and growing consumer preference for eco-friendly produce. North America is also a significant market, supported by increasing adoption of sustainable agriculture practices and the popularity of home gardening. Meanwhile, the Asia-Pacific region is emerging as a growth area, driven by expanding agricultural production, rising awareness of environmental issues, and supportive government policies promoting organic and sustainable farming. With continued innovation, regulatory support, and the growing importance of environmentally conscious farming, the biological molluscicides market is poised for sustained growth.
