The global agrochemicals market size reached US$ 288.2 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 390.0 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.3% during 2024-2032. The expansion of large-scale commercial farming operations, shifting dietary preferences and increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables, and the growing popularity of flowers and ornamental plants are some of the major factors propelling the market.
Agrochemicals are chemical substances used to enhance crop production and protect plants from pests, diseases, and weeds. They play a significant role in modern farming practices by promoting higher yields and ensuring crop quality. They encompass various products, such as fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. They have developed to optimize agricultural output while addressing the challenges posed by pests and environmental factors. They aid in managing plant growth and development, which allows farmers to schedule harvests more effectively and ensure the produce reaches the market at the right time.
The expansion of large-scale commercial farming operations requires efficient pest and disease management, which is strengthening the growth of the market around the world. Moreover, initiatives undertaken and subsidies and incentives offered by governing agencies of numerous countries for agricultural productivity encourage farmers to invest in agrochemicals to improve yields, which is favoring the growth of the market. In addition, the increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables is contributing to the market growth. Apart from this, the rising popularity of flowers and ornamental plants is catalyzing the demand for agrochemicals that support the specific needs of these crops worldwide.
Increasing concerns about food security
With the growing global population, which ensures food security has become a critical concern. Agrochemicals, including fertilizers and pesticides, help boost crop yields and protect crops from pests and diseases, which ensures a steady and abundant food supply. They enable farmers to produce more food on limited arable land, which meets the rising demand for agricultural products. Agrochemicals have become indispensable tools in modern agriculture, supporting sustainable and efficient farming practices to feed an expanding population.
Rise in adoption of high-yielding crop varieties
As global agricultural demands are rising, farmers are seeking ways to optimize their yields. High-yielding crop varieties have become an essential strategy to meet this goal. However, these intensive crop varieties are often more susceptible to pests and diseases. Agrochemicals, such as insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides, play a crucial role in protecting these high-yielding crops from potential threats, which ensures their productivity and viability. As farmers strive for increased output and profitability, the demand for agrochemicals will continue to rise alongside the adoption of high-yielding crop varieties.
Growing need for sustainable farming practices
Sustainability is becoming a central focus in agriculture, driven by concerns about environmental impact and resource conservation. Agrochemical manufacturers are responding to this need by developing eco-friendly and bio-based products. Biopesticides, organic fertilizers, and biostimulants have gained popularity as alternatives to conventional agrochemicals, which promotes more sustainable farming practices. These environmentally friendly solutions provide effective pest and disease management while reducing the harmful effects on ecosystems and human health. As consumers and regulatory bodies are emphasizing on sustainable agriculture, the demand for such agrochemical products is rising worldwide.
