Halogenated Agrochemicals Market Report 2024

The halogenated agrochemicals market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $177.82 billion in 2023 to $189.62 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to rising food demand, economic growth in developing regions, government support, heightened awareness of the benefits of agrochemicals, soil degradation, and limited availability of agricultural land.

The halogenated agrochemicals market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $247.81 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth anticipated in the forecast period can be attributed to the adoption of bio-based agrochemicals, a greater emphasis on precision agriculture, increased investments in research and development, the impact of organic farming on demand, the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices, and heightened regulatory scrutiny. Major trends expected during this period include a shift towards sustainable alternatives, the advancement of digital farming technologies, innovation in agrochemical formulations and delivery methods, and the integration of pest management (IPM) strategies.

The rising demand for food production is expected to drive the growth of the halogenated agrochemicals market in the coming years. Factors such as population growth, urbanization, dietary changes, and increasing incomes are contributing to the growing need for food production. Halogenated agrochemicals play a crucial role in protecting crops from pests and diseases, leading to higher yields and helping to ensure food security amid the rising global demand for agricultural products. For example, in December 2022, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), a specialized agency of the United Nations based in Italy, reported that the global production of primary crop commodities in 2021 increased by 2% from the previous year, reaching a total of 9.5 billion metric tons. Cereals were the leading crop group, accounting for 32% of this production, followed by sugar crops at 22% in 2021. Consequently, the growing demand for food production is expected to fuel the expansion of the halogenated agrochemicals market.

Major companies in the halogenated agrochemicals market are increasingly focusing on the development of sustainable fertilizers and pesticides, such as biofungicide premixes, designed to protect crops by combating pests and preventing fungal diseases. A biofungicide premix is a formulated product that blends one or more biological agents, such as beneficial bacteria or fungi, to manage plant fungal diseases in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner. For example, in November 2023, FMC Corporation, a U.S.-based chemical manufacturing company, launched Ethos Elite LFR, a novel insecticide/biofungicide premix. This innovative solution combines the proven pyrethroid insecticide bifenthrin with two proprietary biological strains from FMC, Bacillus velezensis strain RTI301 and Bacillus subtilis strain RTI477. Ethos Elite LFR is designed to provide comprehensive early-season disease and soilborne pest control. It is approved for use on a variety of crops, including corn, soybeans, cotton, peanuts, tomatoes, and canola. This initiative underscores FMC's commitment to advancing sustainable agricultural practices through integrated pest management solutions.

In December 2023, Crystal Crop Protection Limited, an India-based agrochemical manufacturing company, acquired the trademark for the herbicide Gramoxone from Syngenta Group Co., Ltd. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition of the Gramoxone trademark represents a strategic initiative aimed at bolstering Crystal Crop Protection's footprint in the herbicide market. By capitalizing on Gramoxone's established reputation, Crystal Crop Protection seeks to broaden its influence among farmers in India. Syngenta Group Co., Ltd., headquartered in Switzerland, specializes in manufacturing halogenated herbicides, including Gramoxone.

Halogenated agrochemicals are agricultural chemicals that have been chemically modified by the addition of halogen atoms such as fluorine (F) and chlorine (Cl). These compounds are extensively used as pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides to protect crops from pests, diseases, and weeds. Halogenation typically improves the chemical’s effectiveness, stability, and environmental persistence, though it can also lead to concerns about environmental and health impacts due to its potential persistence and toxicity.

The primary types of halogenated agrochemicals include herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides. Herbicides are chemicals designed to eliminate unwanted plants (weeds) in agricultural fields by disrupting their growth processes or by directly poisoning the plants. The various halogen types are categorized into chlorine-based agrochemicals, bromine-based agrochemicals, fluorine-based agrochemicals, and iodine-based agrochemicals, and they are applied in diverse ways such as foliar sprays, soil treatments, and seed treatments. The main users of these chemicals include farmers, agricultural workers, and agricultural companies.
