Market Overview:

Agrochemicals refers to various chemicals such as pesticides, plant growth regulators, and fertilizers that are used for agriculture purposes to enhance the quality and quantity of agricultural produce. Key products in the agrochemicals market include insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and microbials that play an important role in crop protection by controlling insects, weeds, fungi and other microorganisms respectively. They help farmers maximize crop yields and protect crops from damages caused by pests or diseases.

 

Market Dynamics:

The agrochemicals market is driven by increasing demand for crop protection products and fertilizers from developing countries to boost agricultural productivity and meet the growing global food demand. According to the United Nations, the world population is expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050 which will require a 70% increase in global food supply from current levels. This is increasing the use of agrochemicals globally. Moreover, the development of novel agrochemicals with enhanced properties and less environmental impact is also boosting market growth. However, stringent regulations surrounding the use of pesticides and growing preference for organic farming practices are expected to hamper market growth over the forecast period.

 

SWOT Analysis

Strength: The agrochemicals market benefits from high demand for agrochemical products to increase agricultural productivity. Strong distribution networks of key players ensure wide availability of products. R&D investments by companies lead to development of novel and advanced agrochemical solutions.
