Agrochemicals Market size worth US$372.472 billion by 2029

agrochemicals market

The agrochemicals market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.33% over the forecast period to reach US$372.472 billion by 2029, increasing from the estimated value of US$301.334 billion in 2024.

Agrochemicals are chemical items that are utilized in agribusiness to control pests, infections, and weeds to assist in growing plants way better and progress crop yield. A few of these chemicals are pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, nematodes, and fertilizers, utilized as plant development regulators. Even though they increment the efficiency of agribusiness, they also have environmental implications such as water contamination, harm to beneficial life forms, etc., and the new improvement and progression of herbicides and pesticide-resistant are rising due to pest resistance. There is a shifting trend within the industry for sustainable hones in agrochemical items.

The agrochemicals market is growing on account of the surging worldwide population which has made it basic to extend food production, subsequently making agrochemicals a fundamental part in boosting crop yield and securing crops. Effective agricultural hones are also vital due to urbanization and the shortage of land. In addition, climate change leads to more pesticide necessities since extreme climate can diminish an area’s crop yield and lead farmers to utilize a more prominent number of agrochemicals. Rising consumer demand for safe agro-food products meant the utilization of a broad range of agrochemicals. Agrochemicals are also needed in export markets where other countries have higher standards of quality measurements.

The market is witnessing diverse collaborations and innovative technological advancements, for instance, in May 2024, ADAMA Ltd, a world leader in crop protection products obtained registration for EDAPTIS®, a ready-to-use product for the broad-spectrum control of grassy weeds in Poland. This novel method indicates a higher efficacy in the fight against resistant populations and thus is to be viewed as an innovation for the European cereal herbicide market.

Based on the type, the agrochemicals market is classified into two main solutions which are fertilizers and pesticides. The fertilizers are further divided into nitrogenous fertilizers, phosphatic fertilizers, and potassium fertilizers, while pesticides are further divided into organophosphates, pyrethroids, biopesticides, neonicotinoids, and others. Fertilizers are expected to contribute majorly to the agrochemical market. The rising food demand with increasing awareness regarding soil health maintenance and intensifying agriculture pose the major factors propelling growth in fertilizers. Fertilizers improve soil fertility and nutrient status which results in increased crop yield. In addition, balanced use of fertilizers can improve the health of the soil and enable reducing other inputs to achieve sustainable agriculture.

Based on the crop type, the agrochemicals market is categorized into oilseeds, cereals, fruits and vegetables, and others. Cereals would be a major contributor to the Agrochemicals market. Rice, wheat, and corn amongst others are key cereals consumed by a global population leading to the majority usage of agrochemicals in their cultivation. Cereal crops such as maize and wheat are in high demand for livestock feed, human consumption, and industrial applications so, with a growing population and changing diet there is an increased requirement for cereals and thus yielding varieties with the help of agrochemicals.

Based on geography, the agrochemicals market is extending majorly in the North American region due to various variables. North American countries, especially the United States and Canada, are one of the largest economic regions that are more dependent on industrial agriculture due to conventional agriculture practices using high amounts of agrochemicals for crop protection. The area is very active on the agriculture innovation front with strong adoption of precision agrochemicals at site-specific levels. The industry benefits largely from the regulatory regime in North America that favors investment and innovation. The robust economy provides increased resources for agriculture which has driven the acquisition and utilization of agrochemicals.

As a part of the report, the major players operating in the agrochemicals market that have been covered are BASF SE, Corteva, Yara International ASA, Bayer AG, Syngenta Group, Israel Chemicals Limited, Nutrien Ltd., FMC Corporation, ADAMA Ltd., and Nufarm Ltd.
