Agrochemicals are a general term for agricultural chemical materials which include, pesticides, insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, nematicides, plasticizers, bio-fertilizers, chemicals for production among others. Rising numbers of population and Especially with the current world population scenario, rising crop production in the present agricultural land to support the global population is highly significant.

Market Insights

Synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and hormones are among the principal chemicals used in agriculture to control plant production. Agrochemicals have multiple benefits in growing crops such as high yield, better yield quality, decreased crop loss, crop safety, and others as the market for agrochemicals is rising in order to satisfy the increasing global market for agriculture products. Another aspect that boosts the selling of various agricultural chemicals is the rise in cultivable land for crops such as fruit & crops and flora. In developing markets such as South America, Africa and the Middle East, the rise of agriculture paves the way for many competitive industry players. In addition, a heavy emphasis on product creativity by agrochemical producers is projected to give them a greater competitive edge over their rivals. But, due to growing environmental concerns about chemical use in agriculture, the global agrochemicals market is experiencing barriers in its production. Excessive use of agrochemicals leads to soil, water, and air pollution which can contribute to human toxicity. Furthermore, abuses of intellectual property rights impede industry players growth, which in effect hampers development of the world industry for agrochemicals.

Agricultural Development, Supported by Economic Growth

According to IMF reports, in 2018 the global economy expanded by 3.8%. In addition to the purchasing capacity of individuals, sustainable prosperity increases in living condition owing toincreased purchasing ability resulting in a shift in people's eating habits. As a result of this eating habits of people, increase in demand for food was higher than population growth. The demand for fertilizers and pesticides has, in effect, increased. In order to improve crop yield, soil fertility and increase demand, fertilizers and pesticides are used. As a result, demand for agrochemicals will rise alongside agricultural industry production.
