The global agrochemicals market size is anticipated to reach USD 390.17 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The demand for agrochemicals is projected to be driven by a surging need for fertilizers and crop protection products in the agricultural sector on a global scale. The growing usage of fertilizers by farmers around the world to supply essential nutrients to crops and boost their productivity stands as a significant driver for the agrochemicals demand.
Due to the rapid population growth, farmers are facing the challenge of producing greater amounts of food grains within a limited timeframe. Additionally, the availability of arable lands has decreased due to urbanization, industrialization, and population growth, placing additional pressure on farmers to maximize crop yields within limited land resources. This is a significant concern for economies heavily reliant on agriculture, such as India. Consequently, farmers are compelled to use fertilizers, crop protection chemicals, and other agrochemicals to enhance their yields, thus boosting the product demand.
However, synthetic agrochemicals, including fertilizers, pesticides, and plant growth regulators, are commonly used in agriculture, but they can be harmful. Strict regulations, especially in Europe and North America, limit their use. Some countries, like Germany and the UK, support organic alternatives such as biofertilizers and biopesticides. Thus, regulatory bodies like REACH and the EPA hamper industry growth.
As the agrochemical market is influenced by a rise in regulations, there has been a robust demand for environment friendly products. This trend has led manufacturers to focus on developing bio-based agricultural products. For example, Marrone Bio Innovations uses naturally occurring microorganisms and plants to create high-performance, eco-friendly agricultural products that promote crop health and manage pests, weeds, and crop diseases.
