The global selective herbicides market size is anticipated to expand steadily over the next few years owing to the growing awareness about the wide-ranging benefits of selective herbicides, observes Fortune Business Insights™ in its report, titled “Selective Herbicides Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (2,4-D, Dicamba, Aminopyralid, Others (Chlorsulfuron, Clopyralid, and Others)), By Crop Type (Cereals, Vegetables & Fruits, Oilseeds, Others (Lawns, Aquatic Plants, and Others))and Regional Forecast, 2022-2029”. Selective herbicides are employed to control or prevent the emergence of weed species in plants, while leaving the desired crop generally unharmed. According to the Government of Western Australia’s Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, selective post-emergent herbicides deliver high levels of target weed control and provide an additional advantage of improved crop yield.

Market Driver
Increasing Yield Losses by Weed Attacks to Stoke Adoption of Selective Herbicides
Weed attacks on crops and plants have deeply affected agricultural productivity and farm yield, leading to massive economic losses. According to a study by the University of Queensland in Australia, uncontrolled weed growth cause losses worth AUD 3.3 billion annually to Australian farmers, translating to 2.7 million tons of grain loss at the national level. In developing countries, the losses are even more staggering. In India, for example, weeds cost the Indian agriculture sector over USD 11 billion each year, with the biggest losses witnessed in peanuts in 2018.
Regional Insights
Rising Emphasis on Boosting Agricultural Productivity to Aid Growth in Asia Pacific
Asia Pacific is poised to dominate the selective herbicides market share in the near future owing to the heightened need in the region to rapidly enhance agricultural productivity. Besides this, quick adoption of modern farming practices and increasing production of cereals will provide additional acceleration to the market growth in the region.
The North America market is set to benefit from the well-organized and structured agriculture sector in the region. Moreover, massive agricultural subsidies will also promote the adoption of advanced herbicidal solutions in the region. In Europe, the main growth determinant will be the gradual shift towards sustainable agriculture practices, while the penetration of sophisticated crop protection technologies will aid the growth of the market in Latin America.
