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.
IMARC Group provides an analysis of the key trends in each segment of the global agrochemicals market report, along with forecasts at the global, regional and country levels from 2024-2032. Our report has categorized the market based on fertilizer type, pesticide type and crop type.
Nitrogen Fertilizer
Phosphatic Fertilizer
Potassic Fertilizer
Others
Nitrogen fertilizer dominates the market
The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the fertilizer type. This includes nitrogen fertilizer, phosphatic fertilizer, potassic fertilizer, and others. According to the report, nitrogen fertilizer represented the largest segment. Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plant growth, and nitrogen fertilizers provide plants with this essential element. They are commonly used to promote leafy green growth and enhance overall plant development. Some of the nitrogen fertilizers, include ammonium nitrate, urea, and ammonium sulfate.
Phosphorus is another essential nutrient required for plant growth, particularly in root development, energy transfer, and overall metabolism. Phosphatic fertilizers supply plants with phosphorus to support strong root systems, seed formation, and early plant growth. Some of the common phosphatic fertilizers include single superphosphate and triple superphosphate.
Potassium is crucial for the overall health of plants and plays a significant role in strengthening their resistance to diseases and environmental stresses. Potassic fertilizers provide plants with potassium, which promotes strong root systems and improves their ability to absorb water.
