The herbicide safeners market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.21 billion in 2024 to $1.31 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased herbicide usage, crop protection emphasis, weed resistance management, expansion of agriculture, and regulatory compliance.
The herbicide safeners market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.78 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to continued herbicide dependence, climate change impacts, enhanced weed management practices, global food security concerns, and sustainable agriculture practices. Major trends in the forecast period include a focus on herbicide resistance management, collaborations between agrochemical companies, regulatory support for safe agricultural practices, integration of herbicide safeners into weed management programs, application in specialty crops and horticulture, and education and training on safener utilization.
The increasing demand for herbicide safeners in the agriculture sector is anticipated to drive the growth of the herbicide safeners market in the future. The agriculture sector encompasses the economic activities involved in producing, processing, and distributing agricultural products. Herbicide safeners are essential as they protect crops from damage caused by herbicides, enabling the use of higher herbicide doses without harming the crops, which contributes to enhanced productivity and efficiency in agriculture. For instance, in February 2024, data from GOV.UK revealed that the UK's total Income from Farming (TIFF) in 2022 reached $10.3 billion, showing an increase of $1.43 billion, or 17%, compared to 2021. Thus, the rising demand for herbicide safeners in the agriculture sector is fueling the growth of the herbicide safeners market.
The expanding agriculture industry is expected to further boost the growth of the herbicide safeners market in the coming years. The agriculture industry includes the economic activities related to land cultivation, crop production, and livestock rearing for various purposes. The global growth of agriculture and the necessity to increase crop yields to support a growing population drive the adoption of herbicides, thereby promoting the herbicide safeners market. For example, the California Department of Food and Agriculture, a government agency in the US, reported that California's agricultural exports reached $23.6 billion in 2022, marking a 4.4% increase compared to 2021. Consequently, the expanding agricultural sector is propelling the growth of the herbicide safeners market.
Product innovations emerge as a prominent trend in the herbicide safeners market, with major industry players strategically launching new solutions to fortify their market positions. In April 2023, Switzerland-based Syngenta AG unveiled Recognition herbicide, a groundbreaking product tailored for controlling challenging weeds in warm-season turf. This innovative solution targets over 40 broadleaf weeds while ensuring excellent turf safety. Additionally, it offers versatility by being mixable with Fusilade II herbicide for effective bermudagrass removal in zoysiagrass. Recognition herbicide addresses the diverse needs of turf managers, establishing itself as a reliable choice in the industry.
Major companies in the herbicide safeners market are actively engaged in the development of cutting-edge technologies, specifically in the realm of herbicide technology. This domain encompasses scientific and technological advancements applied to the formulation, development, and application of herbicides. In November 2023, Canada-based Nufarm introduced the 'Duplosan' technology, a power-packed solution for cereal herbicides. This technology aims to maximize weed control in cereals, presenting a robust response to persistent weed challenges faced by farmers. The 'Duplosan' technology represents a significant advancement contributing to the industry's ongoing efforts to enhance herbicide efficacy in cereal crops.
In August 2022, Corteva Inc., a United States-based agricultural chemical company, joined forces with BASF SE, a Germany-based chemicals company specializing in herbicide safeners. This collaboration is centered around the joint development of herbicide-tolerant soybeans and the creation of supplementary herbicides tailored for farmers. Their shared goal is to offer cutting-edge trait combinations and robust methods to combat resistant and challenging weeds. By providing farmers with effective, sustainable solutions for weed management, the collaboration aims to address the practical needs of the agricultural community.
