The market is driven by the need for effective control of herbicides

  • Farmers in China employ various methods of herbicide application. The market for all these methods was valued at USD 1.78 billion in 2022.
  • In 2022, the soil treatment method had the highest market share of USD 841.5 million, accounting for 47.2% of the total herbicide market. The popularity of soil treatment is due to its efficacy in utilizing pre-emergent herbicides, specifically targeting weed seeds, inhibiting their germination before crop sowing. With a market share of 31.9% in 2022, foliar application of herbicides offers numerous benefits in weed control. It provides precise targeting as the herbicides directly contact the weed's foliage, facilitating absorption through the leaf surfaces.
  • The chemigation method grew from USD 199.4 million in 2017 to USD 339.8 million in 2022. In 2022, it was predominantly used in the grains and cereals segment, representing 52.3% of the market share. This is due to the prevalence of micro-irrigation systems in these crops, making them well-suited for chemigation.
  • The foliar application offers several advantages in weed control. It provides targeted action, as the herbicides come into direct contact with the weed's foliage.
  • The fumigation method of weed control is less common than other application methods due to its limited applicability attributed to its high specificity of usage and environmental concerns. However, it effectively controls a few tough weeds that other methods cannot.
  • Considering the effectiveness, specificity, and essentiality of each application method for farmers, the market for herbicides is projected to register a CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2029.
