Agrochemical Additives Market

What are the Key Opportunities for Agrochemical Additives Manufacturers?

Pesticides are compounds produced through chemical or biochemical processes that include active components in a certain concentration and are intended to protect crops against weeds, diseases, and insects, as well as to reduce crop losses. Chelating agents, building blocks, pH regulators, and salification agents are all used as agrochemical additives.

To avoid pests, weeds, and illnesses, agrochemicals are diluted in specified dosages and applied to seeds, soil, irrigation water, and crops. Over the last few decades, high-purity compounds are sold in bulk to formulators, who derive formulations by adding inert carriers, solvents, surface-active agents, and deodorants. Increasing need for food production and population growth are creating opporutnities for growth for manufacturers in the market.

Furthermore, one of the primary drivers for the usageof agrochemicals additives is institutional credit to give financing to farmers in rural areas. High availability and low interest rates on farm loans will encourage farmers to use more fertilizers and pesticides to increase agricultural yields which is anticipated to fuel sales.

How is Stringency in Environment Regulations Limiting Sales of Agrochemical Additives?

Production and utilization of chemicals including pseudo-biological products laced with agrochemicals are classified as non-genuine pesticides. These products are phony, adulterated, sub-standard, or illegally imported, and they impact the harvest, soil, and environment more than the pests.

Stringency in government standards and regulations and regulatory intervention are limiting the utilization of several chemicals and materials. In line with these regulations, manufacturers are also minimizing the consumption and production of non-water-soluble agrochemicals, which is limiting sales to an extent.

Water pollution caused by agrochemicals in large water bodies causes growth of algae and promotes eutrophication, which remains a key environmental challenge. Rodenticides, POPs (Persistent Organic Pollutants), OPs (organophosphates), and carbamate compounds are among the agrochemicals that have caused severe conservation concerns for species at the top of food webs.

Manufacturers are developing slow-release formulations for reducing environmental impact by minimizing agrochemical volatilization, leaching, and degradation. Furthermore, toxicity of certain types of additves are also restricting the usage of agrochemical additives.

Country-wise Insights

What will be the India Agrochemical Additives Market Outlook?

Expansion in the Agricultural Sector in India Will Drive Sales of Agrochemical Additives

India is expected to remain one of the fastest growing market for the consumption and production of agrochemical additives. Pests and illnesses affect approximately 20-25% of the entire food produced in India.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture, India loses INR 1.48 Lakh Crores in agricultural productivity each year owing to pests, weeds, and plant diseases. As a result, agrochemicals serve as a critical input for crop protection and increased yiel.

Moreover, India's low-cost manufacturing capability, availability of a technically skilled workforce, superior worldwide price realization, and strong presence in generic pesticide manufacturers are expected to augment the growth in the market.

What is Driving the China Agrochemical Additives Market?

High Focus on Crop Health in China Will Spur Demand for Agrochemical Additives

China is expected to account for about 73% of the additves demand in East Asia over the forecast period. Due to substantial development in the chemical sector in China and urbanization, the accessible landmass for agriculture is reducing, prompting farmers to utilize various agrochemicals to maintain soil health and boost land productivity.

Rising production of active components used in the formulation of agrochemical products and ready-to-use pesticides supplied in several countries along with a higher volume of crop protection chemicals production will augment grow th in the market.

Which is the Leading End Use of Agrochemical Additives?

Demand for Agrochemical Additives for Fertilizers to Remain High

Owing to substantial production volume of fertlizers, sales of additives are expected to increase at a considerable pace over the forecast period. Population growth will likely result in high demand for food and agricultural products, which will drive fertlizers consumption in the agriculture sector.

Fertlizerssegment is anticipated to remain one of the key end use in the market, which is further enhanced by government subsidies on certain fertlizers. As a result, the need for biopesticides is anticipated to increase in the forthcoming years. The segment is expected to account for 64% of the total market share over the forecast period.

Which is the Most Popular Crop Type in the Market?

Sales of Agrochemical Additives for Cereals and Grains to Gain Traction

Cereals and grains use the most agrochemicals because crops such as rice can have lower yields and less accessible nutrients due to nutritional shortages in the soil. Rice crop production and grain nutrient content are increased by adding critical minerals through fertilizers, which is expected to propel the demand for agrochemical additives.

The production of cereal crops will rise by 60% between 2000 and 2050, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The food and agriculture sector is also expected to remain one of the key consumer of agrochemicals owing to high demand for agrochemicals for food production and genetically modified crop production.

Competitive Landscape

Through acquisitions, mergers, and joint ventures, key players are aiming to expand their production facilities. Additionally, through research and development initiatives, certain manufacturers are creating fresh, cutting-edge products. For instance:

  • In May 2022, Syngenta launched a new seed treatment technology called VICTRATO®that targets nematodes and fungal diseases, seeking to improve the crop's quality and yield while promoting the soil's long-term health.
