Crop Protection Chemicals Market: Growth Opportunities and Recent Developments

The report "Crop Protection Chemicals Market by Type (Herbicides, Insecticides, Fungicides & Bactericides), Origin (Synthetic, Biopesticides), Form (Liquid, Solid), Mode of Application (Foliar, Seed Treatment, Soil Treatment), Crop Type and Region - Global Forecast to 2025" The global Crop protection chemicals size is estimated to be valued USD 63.7 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach a value of USD 74.1 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 3.1% during the forecast period. The growth of this market is attributed to an increasing need for food security of the growing population.





Driver: Increase in need for food security owing to the rise in population

According to the International Food Policy Research Institute, almost 690 million people went hungry around the world in 2019, an increase of 10 million over 2018, and the COVID-19 pandemic could push an additional 83 milllion-132 million into chronic hunger in 2020, according to the 2020 State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (SOFI) report, released July 13. The report provides the latest authoritative estimates on global hunger, malnutrition, and food insecurity.

State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (SOFI) 2020 projects that 841.4 million people will be hungry globally by 2030 if these trends continue, and the world will not achieve its 2025 and 2030 targets of defeating malnutrition. According to the FAO Chief Economist, attributed these alarming findings to the unaffordability of healthy diets, noting that globally, 3 billion people lack the means and access to good nutrition. In order to transform food systems to reduce these costs, policy makers must look at both supply and demand. Policies should enhance the efficiencies of the food supply chain and subsidize production of nutritious foods; at the same time, expanding social safety nets and policies that encourage behavioral change can promote healthier diets.

Opportunity: Rapid growth in the biopesticides market and organic agriculture

Biopesticides are pesticides produced naturally, with minimum usage of chemicals. Since growing environmental considerations and the pollution potential and health hazards from many conventional pesticides are on an increase, the demand for biopesticides has been rising steadily in all parts of the world. Biopesticides are growing in popularity, due to their less or non-toxic nature as compared to synthetic pesticides. Moreover, biopesticides provide more targeted activity to desired pests, unlike conventional pesticides that often affect a broad spectrum of insects, birds, and mammalian species. Further, biopesticides can be very effective in small quantities, offering lower exposure and are quickly decomposable; they leave virtually no harmful residue after application.

The synthetic segment dominated the market for Crop protection chemicals by source.

Synthetic crop protection chemicals are manufactured in laboratories and are mixtures of chemicals that intend to avert, kill, repel, or destroy any pests. Synthetic crop protection chemicals are perceived to be toxic and dangerous if proper chemicals are not used. However, since the past 60 years, various innovative synthetic crop protection chemicals have been developed which are less toxic and more effective on crops. Due to innovative product development by the leading crop protection chemical manufacturing companies such as BASF SE (Germany), various new and more pest-specific synthetic crop protection chemicals are being developed, which cause less damage to the environment.


Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing market during the forecast period in the global Crop protection chemicals

The key markets in the Asia Pacific region include China, India, Japan, and the Rest of Asia Pacific. The Asia-Pacific, a region where agricultural systems and technologies vary from one country to another, consists of about 40%, that is, 600 million hectares of the global crop area. Rice cultivation and the predominance of small-scale manufacturers are widely seen across all the countries of the Asia-Pacific region.

The increasing awareness about pesticides and continuous technological advancements are factors contributing to the growth of this market. In addition to this, the growing demand for crops and rising cultivation in the countries of Asia-Pacific have forced agribusiness companies to expand their supplier and manufacturing base in the region.

COVID-19 Impact on the Biofertilizers Market:

The global market has witnessed a relatively stable market growth post-COVID-19 pandemic, with a similar trend of high demand in 2020. Biofertilizers can be developed easily, and therefore, are run by domestic manufacturers. As the produce can be manufactured by local companies, the supply chain has not been affected much due to the crisis. Therefore, local manufacturers are projected to dominate the market in most of the countries. There has been a significant increase in food crop production, such as soybean, in South America, fruits & vegetables in European countries, rice in Asian countries. In addition, there is repetitive cultivation due to the increased need in each country to step up domestic food production. Hence, biofertilizer is an effective tool, which helps in replenishing soil nutrition and has gained a high demand in the market. In addition, due to the ban on harmful chemical pesticides, the growth of the market for biofertilizers has not dropped significantly. With the relaxation of restrictions by the government, the market for biofertilizers is projected to grow significantly in the future.

Driver: Growth in the organic food industry

Consumers nowadays are becoming highly concerned about food safety issues, the rising residue levels in food, and environmental issues, due to the rising concerns about their health. This rise in awareness has induced them to prefer chemical-free food products. As a result, major supermarket chains such as Wal-Mart and Cosco are increasing their product offerings of organic foods. The restaurant industry in many developed countries is also offering organic food menus to serve health-conscious consumers. The growth in the organic food industry is triggering the demand for biofertilizers and organic manures, as these are pre-requisites of organic farming. With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, people have become more conscious about healthy organic food products, which has driven the market growth of biological inputs, such as biofertilizers. These factors have increased organic retail sales in many countries, such as the US, Germany, China, Switzerland, and Denmark.  

Seed treatment by mode of application drives the market during the forecast period

By mode of application, the seed treatment segment is projected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period. In seed treatment, biofertilizers such as Rhizobium, Azotobacter, and Azospirillum. are applied as coatings on seeds. This is the most common method of applying biofertilizers, as it is easy and generally effective under most conditions. This helps to encapsulate small amounts of functional microorganisms on it, which enables the plant to provide nitrogen for the roots, to uptake the nutrients. Seed treatment is extensively carried out for legume seeds for the purpose of nitrogen fixation.
