Agriculture Miticide Market

Agriculture Miticide Market Size (2022 - 2027)

The Agriculture Miticide Market is expected to reach USD 1829 million by the end of 2027 growing at a CAGR of 5.9 % throughout the estimated period from 2022 to 2027.

Acaricides are chemicals used to kill mites in fields or gardens. Mites are small anthropods closely related to spiders and ticks. They are very difficult to control. The mite population increases with increasing temperature and decreasing humidity. Also, mites can infect plants with viruses and diseases. There are many types of miticides available on the market. Choosing one, in particular, is a difficult task. So before use, please read the label carefully. Start with the miticidal sprays that have the least toxic option. There are different types of mites that can affect both indoor and outdoor plants, and it is difficult to recognize them. Mites are one of the easiest mites to recognize because they produce fine webs and feed on a wide variety of plants. Other mites target specific plants like the spruce mite or the desert locust spider mite.

Market Drivers and Restraints

The increased practice of gardening and farming is expected to act as a major factor in the market for agricultural miticides. Additionally, increased awareness of pest control, growth of innovative products for better performance, changing weather conditions, government reimbursement policies for agriculture, and technological advancements are expected to drive the market during the forecast period. Increasing awareness of the benefits of miticides to maximize overall performance while reducing losses is a key factor in boosting the global agricultural miticides market. In addition, research and development of acaricides and their use in a wide range of crops to control the spread of mites and kill them at all life stages of mites with less toxicity to beneficial insects are expected to drive the market to the next level the forecast period. Quick action and easy handling are also driving the market. The acceptance and use of chemical miticides for crop and plant protection are increasing dramatically. Companies are working to introduce specific acaricides, which are less toxic to beneficial insects and help control the pest mite population.

The growing need for liquid forms of acaricides, primarily in foliar spray and soil treatment modes of application, is driving the liquid segment of the agriculture miticide market. Acaricides are gaining more and more importance in the fruit and vegetable industry. Increased production of various types of fruits and vegetables, stimulated by favorable climatic conditions, technological advances, and adequate storage methods, is expected to stimulate the demand for acaricides. Crops can be protected from the main pests and diseases by using miticides. Its quality and performance can also be improved. The US Food Safety and Quality Act restrict the use of chemical acaricides above the recommended amount due to their harmful effects on pollinators, birds, and beneficial mites. Excessive use can lead to high levels of residues. This is expected to hamper the market for agricultural miticides to some extent during the forecast period. However, the correct dosage of chemical acaricides and the development of environmentally friendly agricultural acaricides can provide opportunities for players operating in the market.
