Glufosinate is a broad-spectrum herbicide that, due to the extensive selection pressure from glyphosate, has had a significant impact on weed populations. This nonselective foliar herbicide is commonly utilized for broadcast burndown applications in canola, corn, sweet corn, soybeans, and sugar beet before planting or emergence.
The primary crop types in the glufosinate market include genetically modified crops and conventional crops. Genetically modified crops are plants whose DNA sequences have been altered through genetic engineering to confer specific desirable traits. The various formulations of glufosinate, such as aqueous suspension, liquid, suspension concentrate, soluble (liquid) concentrate, and others, find application in diverse sectors such as non-agricultural, agricultural, oilseeds and pulses, grains and cereals, fruits and vegetables, among others.
The glufosinate market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides glufosinate market statistics, including glufosinate industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a glufosinate market share, detailed glufosinate market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the glufosinate industry. This glufosinate market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The glufosinate market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.31 billion in 2023 to $2.55 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%. The expansion of genetically modified (GM) crop adoption, increased agricultural productivity, global growth in agriculture, implementation of resistance management strategies, and a supportive regulatory environment are the factors contributing to the growth observed in the historic period.
The glufosinate market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.64 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth anticipated in the forecast period is driven by ongoing challenges related to weed resistance, increased market penetration in emerging economies, the growth of the global population, and shifts in cropping patterns. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the adoption of genetically modified (GM) crops, the emergence of bioherbicides and organic farming, innovation in herbicide technologies, advancements in formulations, and the promotion of sustainable agriculture practices.
The growth of the glufosinate market is expected to be driven by the increasing demand for genetically modified crops. Genetically modified crops involve the incorporation of specific genetic material into the plant's genome to introduce new or modified features, resulting in the production of ingredients such as corn flour, corn syrup, and corn oil. Glufosinate, a broad-spectrum herbicide, is commonly utilized to control weeds in genetically modified crops. This heightened demand for genetically modified crops contributes to an increased need for glufosinate. For instance, the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service reported in January 2021 that the acreage of genetically modified Soybean herbicide-tolerant (HT) plants significantly expanded to 95% in 2021 and 2022. By 2022, nearly 90% of domestic maize acres were planted with herbicide-tolerant (HT) seeds, and Bt maize acreage increased to 84% in 2022. Therefore, the rising demand for genetically modified crops is a key driver of the glufosinate market.
The growth of the glufosinate market is expected to be propelled by increased agricultural productivity. Agricultural productivity, indicating the efficiency and output of crop and livestock production per unit of land, labor, or capital resources, plays a crucial role in farming. Glufosinate, as a herbicide, contributes to enhanced agricultural productivity by controlling weeds and minimizing competition for resources. For example, Gov UK reported in May 2023 that the total factor productivity (TFP) of the agricultural industry in the United Kingdom witnessed a 3.4% increase between 2021 and 2022. Hence, the boost in agricultural productivity is a driving factor for the glufosinate market.
Major players in the glufosinate market are actively engaged in the development of advanced herbicides, including non-selective herbicides, to achieve improved weed control and promote sustainable agriculture. Non-selective herbicides are designed to target a broad spectrum of plant species without specific preferences. For instance, in January 2022, BASF, a German chemical company, introduced L-Glufosinate 10% SL, a non-selective herbicide tailored for Chinese farmers. BASF's L-Glufosinate demonstrates enhanced efficiency by converting inactive D-glufosinate ammonium into the active form. This heightened efficacy enables farmers to achieve weed control equivalent to existing products while reducing the necessary crop protection applications by up to 50%. With solid patent protection, BASF aims to enhance competitiveness and advocate sustainability in the distribution and application of this innovative herbicide.
Prominent companies in the glufosinate market are also dedicated to advancing herbicide technology, utilizing proprietary methods such as T.O.V. Formulation Technology to meet grower demands. ADAMA Ltd employed T.O.V. Formulation Technology in launching Cheval, a premium herbicide for soybeans and other crops in Brazil in May 2022. Cheval, featuring two modes of action (Glufosinate and S-metolachlor), not only prevents carryover weeds post-burndown but also extends the residual effect, providing growers with an effective Weed Resistance Management (WRM) tool.
In January 2022, Mitsui Chemicals Agro, a Japanese chemical manufacturer, successfully acquired the agrochemicals business of Meiji Seika Pharma for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition brings robust research and development capabilities to Mitsui Chemicals Agro, along with innovative products, including the world's first systemic acquired resistance type fungicide and a distinctive non-selective herbicide. Meiji Seika Pharma, renowned for its ethical pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals, possesses a strong agrochemical portfolio, including probenazole, glufosinate-P, and flupyrimin, designed to minimize impact on bees and pollinators.
