Agrochemicals Market - Forecasts from 2024 to 2029

The agrochemicals market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.33% over the forecast period to reach US$372.472 billion by 2029, increasing from estimated value of US$301.334 billion in 2024.

Agrochemicals refer to the chemicals such as pesticides and fertilizers that aid in crop cultivation to meet the global food demand. They provide crops from various organisms, which can potentially damage or slow the growth of the crops. The growing global population and the steady reduction in arable land are anticipated to drive the agrochemicals market in the coming years.

Furthermore, farm income has improved relatively over the years, along with favorable agricultural policies by governments worldwide. This, in turn, further propels the market players' business growth opportunities over the forecast period. The growing focus on bio-based agrochemicals is anticipated to offer multiple new opportunities for the market players to expand their footprints, thus further leading to bolstering the agrochemicals market growth in the coming years.

AGROCHEMICALS MARKET DRIVERS:

• The growing population and a reduction in arable land will boost the market growth

One of the key factors supplementing the agrochemicals market growth includes the growing global population. Agricultural production is increasing globally to meet the rising food demand of the growing population. The global population of 7.6 million is anticipated to increase to 8.6 billion by 2030 and 11.2 billion by 2100, according to a new United Nations Report launched in 2024 (Source: The World Population Prospects, United Nations), which will further drive agriculture production activity. Simultaneously, the global trend of urbanization is steadily reducing the arable land available for cultivation. The arable land in the European Union is projected to fall from 106.5 million hectares in 2017 to 104 million hectares in 2030 (Source: EU Agriculture Outlook, European Commission).
As a result, the use of fertilizers in agriculture has increased rapidly because of their ability to significantly improve crop yield. This is indicated by the fact that fertilizer consumption as a percentage of fertilizer production has increased from 87.6% in 2019 to 91.1% in 2021, as per the statistical data provided by the World Bank (% of fertilizer production). These factors positively impact the agrochemicals market’s growth and will continue bolstering the market growth in the coming years.

Agrochemicals Market Geographical Outlook

• The North American region will dominate the agrochemicals market during the forecast period.

Geographically, the North American region is anticipated to hold a significant market share in the agrochemicals market owing to the increasing expenditure on agricultural activities and the rising use of fertilizers. The fertilizer industry in the United States is affected by various factors, such as crop demand and output requirements, that might depend on the current rules and subsidies of the local government. In addition, producers' fertilizer purchasing decisions are affected by fluctuations in the global prices that accompany specific crops, particularly maize and soybeans. Growth-enabling precision agricultural technological developments are also fueling the demand for fertilizers in the nation, further driving the agrochemicals market growth.
According to USDA, crop area harvested per 1,000 acres in the United States increased from 291.42 million acres in 2020 to 298.86 million acres in 2021, The list included crops like corn, sorghum, oats, barley, rye, winter wheat, Durum wheat, rice, soybeans, peanuts, sunflower, cotton, dry edible beans, chickpeas, potatoes, canola, proso millet, and sugarbeets, with harvested acreage for hay, tobacco, and sugarcane, including double cropped acres and unharvested small grains.

Furthermore, the 2021 USDA report shows that among the fruit and vegetable agricultural businesses, there are around 3,000 that use CEA-type protection. This 2-3% is a significant sector in the US regarding total crop value. CEA-grown crops are characterized by high-value herbs, leafy greens, microgreens, berries, vine vegetables (like cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers), flowers, mushrooms, and nursery crops. As per the estimates, more than 2,000 vertical farming operations in the US utilize fertilizers on a large scale. All of these together, in turn, are boosting the demand for agrochemicals to increase yield per hectare while protecting food products during the crop lifecycle with the support of fertilizers and pesticides.
