Agrochemicals Market Overview:
According to a finding of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) of the United States of America, pests and pathogens cost nearly $40 billion to the plants and forest crop production in the U.S. every year. This statistic is reflective of the need for agricultural chemicals such as insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides on a large scale. The residential and commercial gardens are also affected by the resultant economic loss. As a result, they incorporate agrichemical sprays and fertilizers to eradicate pest issues along with promoting plant growth and crop yields significantly. The global agrochemical market revenue crossed $220 billion as of 2018 and will continue to leverage a better economy in the forecasted period. APAC is a massively populated region, therefore, it relies on farming and cultivation practices to balance the increasing food consumption rate. However, the rise in infested agricultural fields is a major limitation to the regional agricultural economy. Ricepedia reports that Asia, alone, produces and consumes 90% of rice in the world. Asian agricultural countries use modern farming techniques with a stronghold in agronomy. Besides, there is a surge of government-subsidized agrichemical inputs available to the local farmers. All these collectively influence APAC’s contribution to the global agrochemical market. This resonates with the fact that APAC held a major regional share of 32.50% acquiring huge profit in the year 2018
IndustryARC’s expertise highlights, “Increase in the number of invasive species is a perennial threat to the current agricultural productivity which majorly upheaves the global agrochemical market demand to eliminate the threat of crop loss.” Non-agricultural indoor plantation, residential gardening, nurseries, and others have subsequent involvement in the mounting agrochemical demand which is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.86% during the forecast period of 2019-2025. Pests and diseases are a constant threat to wheat and maize cultivation throughout the world. Consequently, there is a greater dependency on pesticides, adjuvants, and fertilizers to inhibit the growth of pest infestation. Wheat and maize farming segment is evaluated to increase at 5.20% CAGR through to 2025 and is foreseen to expand largely over this period.
Agrochemicals Market Growth Drivers:
· Frequent incidences of new pests, pathogens, and weeds in farming, plantation, and residential gardening discovered in the past decade. Significantly, there is a huge requirement of effective agrochemicals for reducing economic and crop loss. Also, the application of chemical growth agents such as adjuvants and hormones help in healthy crop yields. Consequently, the global agrochemical market experiences huge demand thereby gaining a lucrative economy.
· While chemical pest and pathogen inhibitors pose a threat to the ecological sustenance, organic agrochemicals are on the rise in modern farming across the world. There is a rise in the organic farming method owing to its suitability for regulating the spread and growth of agricultural pests and diseases. Concurrently, the increasing usage of natural pesticides and fertilizers provide a greater scope of opportunity for the global agrochemical market.
Agrochemicals Market Companies:
Bulk supply of agrochemicals throughout the world is facilitated by different companies such as The Mosaic Co., Agrium Inc., BASF SE, DowDuPont, Israel Chemicals, Monsanto Company, Bayer AG, Sumitomo Chemical Co., Syngenta AG, and Yara International. R&D investment for developing innovative techniques and products also complying with the environmental sustainability and government regulations are key to the success of these market leaders.
Sumitomo Chemical Co. is a leading chemical product distributing company in Japan with a prime focus on petrochemicals and plastics, pharmaceuticals, health, and crop-related services. Their main involvement in the agricultural sector is promoted by crop protection chemicals which include insecticides, plant growth regulators, fungicides, herbicides, and so on.
Agrochemicals Market Trends:
· Eco-Friendly Bio-Agrochemicals:
Associated toxic effects of synthetic agrochemicals are making space for the biological agrochemicals to enter into modern agriculture in recent years. Biopesticides such as canola oil and baking soda is largely used by farmers to inhibit pest growth without any ecological adversity. Additionally, advancement in modern agronomy has led to the innovation of agrochemicals from several soil-borne pathogens, fungi, and bacteria to promote natural growth and high productivity in plants.
