Pesticide Inert Ingredients Global Market Report 2024

The pesticide inert ingredients market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.83 billion in 2023 to $5.22 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth observed in the historical period within the pesticide industry can be linked to several key factors. Firstly, the increasing demands for enhanced agricultural productivity have been a driving force, prompting the use and development of pesticides to meet these needs. This demand surge contributed significantly to the expansion of the agrochemical industry.

The pesticide inert ingredients market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.83 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The anticipated growth in the upcoming period within the pesticide industry can be attributed to various significant factors. The emergence and increasing adoption of precision agriculture practices are expected to drive demand for pesticides tailored to specific needs, contributing to market growth. Additionally, there's a growing focus on biorational pesticides - products derived from natural sources that have a lower environmental impact - reflecting a shift towards more sustainable pest management strategies.

The growth of the pesticide inert ingredients market is poised for acceleration, largely propelled by the increasing adoption of pesticides. Pesticides, substances used to control, prevent, or eliminate pests, utilize inert ingredients alongside active components to extend product shelf life. Notably, a report from the Food and Agriculture Organization in July 2022 revealed a global pesticide usage of approximately 3.54 million metric tons in 2021, reflecting a 4% increase from 2020's 2.7 million metric tons. This surge in pesticide adoption acts as a key driver fueling the demand for pesticide inert ingredients.

The expanding scope of agriculture production stands as another pivotal factor driving the growth of pesticide inert ingredients. In the realm of agriculture production, pesticide inert ingredients play a vital role by enhancing the efficacy and application of active pesticide components. This enhancement indirectly contributes to increased crop yields and enhanced agricultural productivity. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization's December 2022 data, global primary crop production witnessed a 2% increase from 2020, reaching 9.5 billion tons in 2021. Notably, cereals, including maize, wheat, and rice, accounted for around 90% of the total production of 64 million tons in 2021. This escalation in agriculture production augments the demand for pesticide inert ingredients to further augment agricultural productivity.

Technological advancements emerge as a prominent trend in the pesticide inert ingredients market. Leading companies are focused on pioneering innovative technologies to fortify their market positions. For instance, in November 2021, Syngenta AG introduced PLINAZOLIN technology - a groundbreaking active pesticide ingredient with a novel mode of action targeting effective insect control. This technology caters to over 40 different crops, offering insect control against stinkbugs, mites, thrips, caterpillars, flies, and beetles. It demonstrates versatility by its application in various sectors, including seed treatment, forestry, and professional pest management programs, raising the bar for pest protection in crops.

Major industry players are invested in developing advanced solutions such as agrochemical digital tools to gain a competitive edge. These digital platforms assist farmers in making informed decisions regarding agrochemical usage. An example is The Dow Chemical Company's DOW Crop Solver, launched in May 2023. This online tool expedites agricultural formulation development by providing guidance on inert ingredient properties and selection. Offering a user-friendly interface, it ensures comprehensive information and compatibility checks for inert ingredients chosen by farmers, enhancing their decision-making process in agrochemical use.
