Crop Protection Chemicals Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2022-2028)

Report Description

The global crop protection chemicals market is likely to showcase a growth of around 4% during the forecast period. Over the years, world witnessed the rise in population and is continuously growing creating greater demand for food. And the strain on land, which is a limited resource, has also grown. However, growth of population outpaced the land growth, thereby reducing the agricultural land per capita. For instance, according to the Our World in Data, the global agricultural land per capita has decreased to 0.6 hectare in 2018 compared to 1.4 hectare in 1961. Further, according to Food and Agricultural Organisation, the world population expected to increase 10 billion by 2050. This reduction in agricultural land coupled with rising population has increased the global focus on improving crop yield, thereby increased the interest of agrochemical manufacturers to produce more advance, productive, and less toxic to humans, crop protection chemicals. Around 40% of the world’s annual crop loss are due to weeds, diseases, harmful insects and fungi, among others. Without the use of reliable crop protection chemicals, those losses could be much higher and threaten the stability of the world’s food supply.

Insights Presented in the Report

“Amongst type, herbicides held the prominent share of the market in 2020”

Based on type, the market is categorized into herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and others. Among these, herbicides held the majority share of the market. Herbicides are commonly used to destroy unwanted plants or weeds in midst of crop. Since, the industry is witnessing farm labor shortage predominantly internationally, therefore, to remove the unwanted plants or weeds, herbicides are widely consumed in the agriculture sector.

“Amongst crop type, fruits & vegetables category held a prominent position in the market in 2020”

Based on crop type, the market is categorized into cereals & grains, oilseeds & pulses, fruits & vegetables, and others. Among these, fruits & vegetables accounted for prominent market position. This is because, the world is witnessing a shift in cropping pattern from food grains to fruits and vegetables as farmers are seeing more value gain under this segment, hence, the crop protection chemicals consumption has increased and is expected to further increase with the growth in horticulture.

“Asia-Pacific is likely to showcase significant growth during the forecast period”

For a better understanding of the market adoption of crop protection chemicals, the market is analyzed based on its worldwide presence in the countries such as North America (the United States, Canada, Rest of North America), Europe (Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, and Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and Rest of World. The large base of the agriculture sector of the Asia-Pacific helped the region to obtain a dominating position in the market. Regional demand for crop protection chemicals due to high agriculture consumption is needed in order to feed the growing and already higher population. Further, improving per-capita income and disposable income is encouraging consumers to purchase large numbers of products, thereby increasing the demand for crop protection chemicals from the agriculture sector. Further, the governments of several regional countries are helping the industry in expansion by providing subsidies and creating favorable policies.
