Agrochemicals Market

Agrochemicals Market Size & Growth (2022 - 2027):

Agrochemicals Market was worth $250.29 billion in 2021 and is estimated to be growing at a CAGR of 3.40%, to reach $295.83 billion by 2026.

With the shortage of land and water, there has been an increased emphasis on the acceptance of innovative technologies that can help increase crop harvest. As such, agrochemicals are observing a substantial demand since farmers are determined to attain nutritious and high-quality crop production.

Agrochemicals consist of specialty chemical products such as synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, plant growth regulators, and adjuvants, which are employed in the agriculture industry. Agrochemicals’ task is to safeguard crops, increase crop yields, and sustain food and soil quality. Another important function of agrochemicals is to transform the growth progression of the plants. 

Drivers and Restraints:

The growth of the Agrochemicals market is majorly driven by factors such as growing awareness towards the use of fertilizers and pesticides in key crop-producing countries, wide range of pest control applications of Agrochemicals and decreasing arable land. Another major factor driving the market is the globally increasing population, which leads to the need for an increase in crop yield. However, safer alternatives such as bio-farming and organic pesticides, volatile economies, and various environmental and health hazards linked with agrochemicals are the major restraining factors for the market.
