Crop Protection Chemicals Market

Global Crop Protection Chemicals Market

Crop Protection Chemicals Market- By Type, Source, Form, Application, Crop Type, and Region.

Market Synopsis:

The Global Crop Protection Chemicals Market is valued at USD 63.8 Billion in the year 2021 and is projected to reach a value of USD 75.2 Billion by the year 2028. The Global Market is anticipated to grow exhibiting a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 2.8% over the forecast period.

Crop Protection Chemicals are a low-cost option for farmers to improve the yield and quality of their crops. They also make harvesting easier and ensure that harvests are constant from year to year. Insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides are the three main types of crop protection agents. Selective herbicides, for example, prevent weeds from growing amid crops and competing with them for water, sunlight, and nutrients. Agriculture would be less efficient if Crop Protection Chemicals were not used. The major growth driver is a greater emphasis on high agricultural productivity to combat food security. In terms of regulatory interventions for safe farming and general farming culture and practices, the agricultural sector has made significant progress around the world. Growing food demand has prompted agrochemical-based companies to invest in research to improve their product and transition to greener alternatives. Companies have been seen commercializing bio-based chemicals derived from plant, mineral, bacterium, and animal sources.

Pesticides are persistent and have poisonous qualities, as well as bioaccumulation and lipophilicity, which can have negative effects on human health if taken. Due to the associated residual issues, there is growing concern about the same. Pesticides enter the human body through vegetables and fruits, resulting in serious health consequences such as neurological diseases, reproductive effects, birth defects, cancer, and more. Fruits and vegetables have been continuously monitored during production due to the linked and probable health dangers. Pesticides such as bifenthrin, glyphosates, and imidacloprid are among the pesticides detected in vegetables that reach consumers, influencing demand for crop protection chemicals.
