Market Overview:
Agrochemicals are agricultural chemicals used widely in the agricultural industry. They include pesticides, plant growth regulators, and fertilizers. Pesticides are used to kill harmful insects, fungi, weeds, and other microorganisms that damage crops. Fertilizers are used to replenish soils and increase fertility for better crop yields. They provide macro and micro nutrients essential for plant growth. Agrochemicals play a vital role in increasing and maximizing agricultural productivity by protecting crops from pests and diseases and by nourishing the soil. They help eliminate hunger and ensure global food security.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the agrochemicals market is the growing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly agrochemicals. Consumers are increasingly demanding food products that are pesticide residue-free. They prefer the use of naturally derived, organic, and reduced risk pesticides. As a result, manufacturers are focusing on developing biopesticides and biofertilizers that have minimal environmental impact. Furthermore, increasing population and reducing availability of cultivable land are compelling farmers to maximize crop yields, which is propelling the demand for agrochemicals globally.
