Agrochemicals are synthetically modified agricultural compounds that are used for crop enhancement purposes. Some of the products classified under the segment for agrochemicals include pesticides, herbicides as well as insecticides. The production of these chemicals is typically performed with the help of batch processing. The introduction of Industry 4.0 upgrades and intensifies the current process in terms of changing market trends. Methods to reduce lead time, as well as reaction time with respect to material processing, are being synthesized.
Agrochemicals are highly toxic. Therefore, due to the imposition of several environmental regulations, the growth of this market remains curtailed. The health hazard and toxicology studies associated with these products result in several safety standards imposed upon them as well. With respect to material handling, the product is expected to be stored in a labeled and durable tank.
Some of these chemicals not only harm the pests and weeds present in the soil but useful organisms as well. The rising environmental concerns affiliated with this product has led to the growth of organic farming based on biological methods of crop management. Several regions globally have been making use of integrated pest management (IPM) and integrated crop management (ICM) practices. These methods promote the utilization of both synthetic as well as organically produced crop enhancers. Regions like the EU have started adopting the Integrated Farming System in order to increase their organic crop yield.
This report will be focusing on changing market dynamics and their impacts on the global market for Agrochemicals. A forecast analysis based on the induction of technologies like AI and IoT has also been discussed.
The expanding population density and the need to improve crop sustainability promotes the growth of this market. Additionally, rising industrialization within developing nations is directly proportional to the disposable income of the inhabitants. Hence increase in the purchasing power of the inhabitants is also a factor that boosts the growth associated with this market. The decrease in the percentage of arable land is another factor that augments the growth of this market positively.
The competitive mapping across several regions has been provided through strategic analysis of the shifting market trends. The key companies and the news associated with them have been interweaved into this report to gain an overall perspective of the market. For instance, Syngenta went through a trial between 2019-2020. The company faced litigations for selling corn with Agrisure Viptera and Duracade traits prior to them receiving import approval. The corn was shipped to china without authorization in the years 2013 and 2014. China stated that it rejected corn shipments with the traits. The lawsuit was filed by four Kansas farmers who represented more than 7000 farmers from the area. The settlement fees amounted to USD 1.51 Billion. This case is one of the largest lawsuits within the agricultural sector. Post this case, the price for corn fell drastically within the agricultural sector.
To study the strategic growth associated with each segment associated with this sector, the Agrochemicals market has been classified as Type, Crop Type, and Region. The report analyses the growth pertaining to each segment with the help of the data obtained during the study period. On a regional scale, APAC is the fastest market owing to the expanding population and rising urbanization within this region. The Asia Pacific contributes to 59-62% of the overall market revenue generated. The region consists of emerging nations like China, India, and Indonesia that propels the growth of this market.
Moreover, according to recent studies, it is found that the crop infestation within an area is reliant on the geographic as well as the temperature conditions within that region. APAC falls in the relatively more humid region of the planet. It was noted that with every degree rise in temperature, the crop infestation increases by 2.5%. Countries like china could potentially sustain a crop loss of 27 million tonnes per year according to this study. Therefore, the use of artificial crop enhancers is essential within this region.
The report also consists of a quantitative analysis based on data obtained for agricultural land, crop cultivation, and the percentage of minerals within the soil. On a holistic scale, it is seen that Nitrogenous fertilizers dominate the market owing to its property that contributes to the growth of living beings. Moreover, within the pest and weed management section it is seen that pesticides govern the largest segment of this market followed by insecticides and herbicides.
