Global Crop Protection Chemicals Market Stimulated by Demand for Bio-Based Products

The global crop protection chemicals market has witnessed a positive growth over the past several years. This can be attributed to the rising awareness among the farmers along with the introduction of bio-based chemicals which are environment-friendly.

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Crop Protection Chemicals Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2023”, the global crop protection chemicals market reached a value of US$ 57.7 Billion in 2017. Since the beginning of agricultural practices, attempts have been made to protect the crops from fungi, pests or insects. The emergence of crop protection chemicals, such as insecticides, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, etc., have replaced the use of the compounds used earlier, such as arsenic and mercury salts. These chemicals enable the farmers to improve the yield and quality of their crops in a cost-effective way. Over the years, the manufacturers have developed innovative products and cutting-edge technology to protect crops from being destroyed, which has provided a positive thrust to the crop protection chemicals market.

Global Crop Protection Chemicals Market Trends:

The frequent outbreaks of pest attacks on crops coupled with the rising need for food security have compelled the farmers to increase the usage of crop protection chemicals so as to maximize crop yield and minimize losses. Along with this, growing awareness among the farmers regarding the benefits of these chemicals has led to an increase in their consumption. Recently, a number of programs have also been introduced in across the world, particularly in Europe, to ensure that all the agrochemicals available in the market cater to the modern safety and environmental standards. This, in turn, has encouraged the manufacturers to produce bio-based chemicals derived from natural sources, such as plants, bacteria, animals, fungi, etc. Due to their beneficial properties and lower environmental impact as compared to conventional products, the demand for bio-based crop protection chemicals is anticipated to increase in the near future. Looking forward, the market is projected to reach a value of US$ 77.3 Billion by 2023, exhibiting a CAGR of around 5% during 2018-2023.
