The global crop protection market consists of crop protection chemicals or agrochemicals,
seeds, and genetically modified (GM) crops. Crop protection chemicals are the most
dominating segment of this market in terms of market share as well as product innovations.
Crop protection chemicals are further classified as pesticides (herbicides, insecticides, and
fungicides), bio-pesticides, micronutrients, and adjuvants. As the latter three segments hold
very minor market share, in general practice, pesticides are referred to as crop protection
chemicals.
Pesticides are basically segmented further as synthetic pesticides and bio-based pesticides.
Bio-based pesticides, as the name suggests, are made up of renewable resources and
contain no synthetic active ingredients. These pesticides have a much more positive impact
on the environment than their synthetic counterparts and are expected to be amongst the
fastest growing pesticide segments in the near future.
Synthetic pesticides, which are typically manufactured from petrochemical or inorganic raw
materials, are further segmented as insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides. Globally, the
market is dominated by fungicides, accounting for over 40% of the total demand for
pesticides in 2010. The global market for herbicides is expected to grow at a CAGR 4.6%
from 2011 to 2016 to reach 1,351.3 kilo tons by 2016. In terms of revenue, it is expected
to reach $24,821.1 million by 2016, growing at a CAGR of 5.9%. However, there are
exceptions in regions such as India where insecticides are the most popular pesticides,
accounting for over 40% of the total Indian market. The global market for insecticides is
projected to reach 534.7 kilo tons by 2016, growing at a CAGR of 4.1%.

Shrinking of arable land in recent years, growing population, and increasing need to
improve crop yields are expected to drive the demand for crop protection chemicals in the
near future. However, the constant push from regulatory authorities such as EPA
(Environment Protection Agency) to restrict the use of pesticides in order to reduce the
impact on the environment and growing consumer awareness regarding pesticide
2. consumption due to residues is expected to hamper the demand for crop protection
chemicals in the next five years.
One of the critical success factors (CSFs) in the market is the ability of a market player to
preserve intellectual property through patents of its active ingredients and the ability to
develop, register, and commercialize active ingredients coming off patents. This battle of
generic against patented products is expected to be a key issue in the crop protection
industry in the subsequent five years.
This report estimates the market size of the global crop protection chemicals
market both in terms of active ingredient volume and revenue. The market has been
further segmented on the basis of crop types such as cereals, grains, oilseeds, and
vegetables as well as by sub-segmentation of insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides such
as glyphosate, atrazine, and 2,4-D. This segmentation is given for major regions and key
countries in those regions. Market drivers, restraints and challenges, raw material, and
product price trends are discussed in detail. Market share by participants for the overall
market is discussed in detail in the report. We have also profiled leading players of this
industry including Bayer CropScience (Germany), BASF (Germany), Monsanto (U.S.), and
Dow Agrosciences (U.S.).
