Market Driver

The agricultural pesticides market is witnessing significant growth due to the increasing demand from farmers to protect crops from pest attacks, which can lead to substantial production losses. This trend is further fueled by the decrease in arable land in various countries. In response, vendors are expanding their product offerings by introducing new variants of agricultural pesticides. For instance, in January 2020, Syngenta launched new Miravis fungicides in Canada, featuring Adepidyn, a new Group 7 fungicide from the carboxamide chemical class. Similarly, in June 2019, Bayer introduced Aqua K-Othrine, a water-based insecticide for fogging that eliminates the need for diesel and reduces pollution. In March 2019, BASF launched Ventigra, an insecticide providing precise pest management for piercing-sucking insects like whiteflies, aphids, mealybugs, and scales. These product launches help vendors expand their customer base and increase market share in the global agricultural pesticides market. 

The Agricultural Pesticides Market is witnessing significant trends in the use of various types of pesticides. Synthetic chemicals like chlorinated hydrocarbons and organic phosphates continue to dominate the market. However, there is a growing demand for eco-friendly alternatives due to concerns over human health and environmental impact. Carbonates and other natural pesticides are gaining popularity. Infrastructural development activities, farming areas, homes, roadways, and crop land are major application sectors. Pesticides are used to protect plants from pests, fungus, weeds, and insects. They are essential for increasing agricultural productivity. However, the use of pesticides in organic farming and production of organic food products is on the rise. Toxicologists and horticulturists are working on developing non-insecticides and herbicides using nanotechnology. Laws and regulations are being enacted to ensure the safe use of pesticides in farming and infrastructure constructions. The market for agrochemicals, including fertilizers and pesticides, is expected to grow due to increasing demand for agricultural goods. Farmers and manufacturers are investing in factories to produce pesticides for row crops and fresh vegetables and fruits. The health effects of pesticides on humans and the environment are under constant scrutiny. It is crucial to ensure the safe use of pesticides to protect both farmers and consumers.

Market Challenges

• The global agricultural pesticides market operates under strict regulatory frameworks set by international organizations like the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations through the International Code of Conduct on the Distribution and Use of Pesticides. Compliance with these codes and other country-specific regulations influences the market, potentially limiting the use of certain pesticide products or leading to their withdrawal. Additionally, public governing bodies overseeing imports and exports, mergers and acquisitions, and other regulatory issues impact market players. Tax structures also play a significant role, requiring market participants to keep tax authorities updated and comply with amendments and interpretations of tax regulations, which in turn affect financial statement components like receivables, liabilities, and deferred tax assets and liabilities. Overall, adherence to numerous regulatory laws and obligations may negatively impact market growth.
• The Agricultural Pesticides Market faces several challenges in producing high-yield crops for Fruits, Cereals, Plantation crops, Vegetables, and Cash crops. Modern and Intensive farming techniques require effective pest management solutions. Climatic conditions, such as climatic fluctuations and irregular rainfall, impact crop production and increase the need for Pesticides. Fungicides, Acaricides, Bactericides, Defoliants and desiccants, Fumigants, Larvicides, Molluscicides, Nematicides, Ovicides, Rodenticides, Silvicides, Slimicides, Repellants, and Pest control agents are essential for managing local pest species. However, pesticide resistance and the emergence of new pests pose challenges. Pesticide choices include Conventional pesticides, Synthetic pesticides, and Bio-pesticides, such as Insecticides, Nematicides, Molluscicides, and Fungicides. Producers must adapt to these challenges to ensure optimal crop management and maintain export products’ quality.
