Herbicides dominate the market
- China is a major producer of active ingredients that serve as the foundation for formulated agrochemicals and ready-made pesticides sold in many countries. The country is one of the world's largest producers and exporters of crop protection chemicals. Insecticides comprise an important segment in the crop protection chemicals market. The key drivers of the market are a high number of people, limited size of farms, rising food security, and an urgent need for efficient agricultural production. China occupied the highest share of 30.9% by value of the overall Asia-Pacific crop protection chemicals market in 2022.
- Herbicides accounted for the largest share of 39.9% by value in the Chinese crop protection chemicals market in 2022. In China, the use of herbicides has helped in weed control and, thus, increased yields by making it easier for farmers to grow more dwarf rice varieties that are less likely to compete with weeds. Even though there has been a large decline in traditional hand laborers who have moved out of rural areas to industrial zones, herbicides have allowed farmers to control weeds.
- In 2022, the insecticide segment held a significant share of 30.6% by value in the market. The most common pesticides registered for use in cotton are insecticides. Among them, phoxim has the highest number of registered active substances, including cypermethrin and beta-cypermethrin.
- With the increasing concern over the infestation of pests and diseases and the rise in international demand, companies and the government are continuously investing in research projects and developing new active ingredients to prevent crop damage from pests. The market is anticipated to register a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period.
