Agrochemical Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2021-2027)

Report Description

The global agrochemical market is likely to showcase a growth of around 3% during the forecast period. As the population is increasing worldwide, with this the demand for agricultural products is also increasing. For instance, according to Food and Agricultural Organization, the world population is expected to increase to 10 billion by 2050. The increase in population will create a high demand for food.  However, the availability of the landmass for the production of crops and farm products is decreasing due to urbanization and industrialization. Besides, people are becoming health conscious, thereby there is an expansion in demand for natural food, fresh fruits, vegetables, and flowers which requires an extremely controlled environment and precise nutritional content in the soil. These aforementioned factors have compelled the farmers to use different types of agrochemical products for enhancing crop production and improving soil quality. Due to high concern towards agricultural sustainability, soil quality, and environmental safety, the agrochemicals products are rapidly used by the farmers along with the organic manure to improve soil fertility and the health of crops and plants.

Insights Presented in the Report

“Amongst type, the pesticides held a prominent share in the market in 2020”

Based on type, the market is categorized into fertilizers and pesticides. Of both, pesticides captured a considerable share in the market owing to their usage in a large number of application areas. Pesticides are majorly used in the agriculture sector for controlling weeds, insect infestation, and plant diseases. Furthermore, they are used in non-agricultural areas like public, urban green areas, and sports fields to control various pests and disease carriers, such as mosquitoes, ticks, rats, and mice. There are many different types of pesticides; each is meant to be effective against specific pests. Some pesticides include disinfectants, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, algaecides, insect growth regulators, wood preservatives, and rodenticides.

“Amongst crops, the cereals and grains held a prominent market share in 2020”

Based on crop, the market is categorized into cereals and grains, fruits and vegetables, and others. Among these, cereals and grains held a prominent market share. Cereals and grains are the largest consumed class of crops, mostly in the Asia Pacific. Moreover, cereals and grains cover a vast area of cultivation in the world. It has become prominent to use fertilizers for cereals and grains production. The increasing consumption of cereals and grains, such as rice, wheat, rye, corn, oats, sorghum, and barley, in various other regions is driving the demand for agrochemicals in this segment

“Asia-Pacific accounted for a considerable share in the Agrochemical market”

For a better understanding of the market adoption of agrochemicals, the market is analyzed based on its worldwide presence in the countries such as North America (United States, Canada, Rest of North America), Europe (Germany, France, UK, Italy, Spain, and Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, Australia, and Rest of APAC), and Rest of World. Asia-Pacific accounted for a significant share in the market and is expected to showcase substantial growth during the forecast period owing to a large and growing agriculture sector. India is expected to have a population of around 1.7 billion by 2050, and the demand for food grain is estimated at 355 million tons by 2030. Taking into account decreasing arable land and small landholdings, increasing productivity is the only way for increasing output that can be achieved through the usage of farm productivity-enhancing inputs like agrochemicals.
