Global Acaricides Market - 2023-2030

Overview

Global Acaricides Market reached US$ 319.23 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 475.25 billion by 2030, growing with a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period 2023-2030.

Increased demand for food production has led to a surge in agricultural activities, consequently boosting the need for acaricides to control mite infestations in crops. Growing awareness about vector-borne diseases has fueled the utilization of acaricides in public health programs. Innovations in formulation technologies have enhanced the efficiency of acaricides, contributing to market expansion. Sustainable and eco-friendly acaricides are gaining prominence due to environmental concerns.

In August 2023, Syngenta Crop Protection, a science-based ag-tech company, expanded its line of products to improve large-scale field productivity with the introduction of VERDAVIS and SPONTA, two insecticides. VERDAVIS is marketed as an acaricide insecticide. It is made up of two very potent active ingredients, PLINAZOLIN and Lambda Cialothrin, and it has several other features that work together to give it a higher shock value, a wider range of action, and longer control durations.

Organophosphates account for over half of the market share due to their effectiveness in killing mites and ticks. Similarly, North America dominates the acaricides market, capturing the largest market share as the region has been at the forefront of adopting advanced agricultural products like acaricides.

Dynamics

Expansion of Agriculture and Advancement in Pest Control

The expansion of agriculture and advancements in pest control are pivotal drivers propelling the growth of the acaricides market. As agriculture expands to meet the demands of a burgeoning global population, the need for effective pest management becomes paramount. Acaricides play a crucial role in safeguarding crops and livestock from mites and ticks, which can significantly impact yields and animal health.

In September 2023, Certis Belchim, a sustainable agricultural company announced the launch of Neudosan, a new natural, broad-spectrum insecticide/acaricide, in Europe. This product is appropriate for various crops cultivated in open and protected areas, as well as ornamental crops. It contains a variety of potassium salts/fatty acid compounds (C7-C18) derived from rapeseed with different benefits.

Rising Initiatives Regarding Animal Health and Welfare

Livestock, including cattle, sheep, and poultry, are susceptible to infestations by mites and ticks, which can negatively impact animal health and productivity. Farmers and livestock producers utilize acaricides to mitigate these challenges, ensuring the well-being of their animals and maintaining optimal production levels. Government regulations and initiatives promoting animal health and welfare also play a role in shaping the acaricides market.

In December 2021, the president of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni launched the Sanga Vet. Chem. Ltd, a factory producing animal health products located in Namanve Industrial Park. Beginning operations in August 2021, the facility produces a range of acaricides for animal administration by oral, soaked, and spraying methods.

Strict Regulation

Strict regulations pose a significant restraint on the acaricides market growth as governments globally focus on environmental and consumer safety. Regulatory bodies impose stringent guidelines to ensure that acaricides meet safety standards and do not negatively impact ecosystems. Compliance with these regulations demands extensive testing and documentation, increasing the time and cost of bringing new acaricide products to market.

In September 2021, Frank Tumwebaze, Uganda's Minister of Agriculture, Animal Industry, and Fisheries, officially opened the committee on the efficacy of agrochemicals and animal health products. This is in response to public and farmer concerns about the use of fake acaricides and agrochemicals in the nation, which have caused losses in livestock and crops.

Segment Analysis

The global acaricides market is segmented based on type, mode of application, application and region.

Organophosphates's Effectiveness Against Broad Spectrum of Pests

Organophosphates have historically held a prominent share in the acaricides market due to their effectiveness against a broad spectrum of pests, including mites and ticks. According to FAO Up to 40% of the world's crop production, including insect infestation, is lost each year as a result of pests. Each year, invading insects and plant diseases damage the world economy at least $70 billion and over $220 billion, respectively. Widely used in agriculture, organophosphates act by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, disrupting nervous system function in pests.

The popularity of organophosphates is attributed to their relatively low cost, quick action, and versatility in various formulations. These compounds offer a systematic and contact mode of action, providing both curative and preventive pest control measures. Chlorpyrifos, diazinon, and malathion are notable organophosphate acaricides used in agriculture. Their effectiveness against a range of pests, coupled with a relatively rapid onset of action, makes them preferred choices for farmers.

Geographical Penetration

North America's Adoption of Advanced Agricultural Technology

North America holds the highest share in the acaricides market growth due to the region's dominance being influenced by a combination of agricultural practices, economic factors, and technological advancements. In February 2023, to control mites, psyllids, whiteflies, and powdery mildew on a variety of crops and ornamentals, Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) announced plans to approve the sale and use of Fenazaquin, the technical grade's active ingredient, as well as Magister SC acaricide/fungicide and Magus SC acaricide containing the aforementioned ingredients.

North America, particularly the United States and Canada, practices extensive agriculture with a focus on high-yield crops. The prevalence of large-scale farming operations creates a substantial demand for acaricides to protect crops from mites and ticks, ensuring optimal productivity. COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Lockdowns, travel restrictions, and disruptions in logistics affected the supply chain of acaricides. This led to challenges in the timely availability of inputs for farmers, impacting their pest management practices. Economic uncertainties caused by the pandemic influenced farmers' spending patterns. Some reduced inputs, including acaricides, to cut costs, especially when faced with market uncertainties and fluctuating commodity prices.

Russia-Ukraine War Impact Analysis

Geopolitical tensions caused by the war disrupted supply chains, affecting the production and distribution of acaricides. Disruptions in the supply chain lead to shortages or delays in obtaining necessary inputs for agriculture. The war disrupted supply chains, affecting the production and distribution of acaricides. Disruptions in the supply chain may lead to shortages or delays in obtaining necessary inputs for agriculture.
