Atrazine Market Report 2024

This Atrazine market report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.

The atrazine market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.58 billion in 2023 to $1.68 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The increase during the historical period can be linked to heightened worries about improving crop yields, the swift growth and expansion of the agricultural sector, a rising interest in sustainable farming practices, the extension of agriculture into less fertile areas, and an escalating demand for herbicides.

The atrazine market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.29 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The anticipated growth during the forecast period is driven by the rising demand for greater crop yields, the growing use of atrazine-based products, increasing food consumption, the expansion of agriculture in developing economies, and a surge in investments for research and development of alternative weed control methods. Key trends expected in this period include heightened research and development efforts aimed at creating eco-friendly herbicides, a growing shift toward bio-based and organic herbicides, the adoption of precision agriculture technologies, the integration of digital agriculture solutions, and advancements in herbicide formulations.

The increasing demand for higher crop yields is anticipated to drive the growth of the atrazine market in the future. Enhanced crop yields reflect greater production per unit of land, which is essential for improving food security, increasing farm profitability, and meeting global food demands. Several factors are contributing to this rising demand, including population growth, climate change, and concerns about food security. Atrazine plays a significant role in boosting crop yields by effectively controlling a variety of weeds, which minimizes competition for essential resources such as water, nutrients, and light. This, in turn, promotes healthier crop growth and improves overall productivity. For example, the Central Statistics Office in Ireland reported in April 2023 that in 2022, wheat yields increased by 0.1 metric tons per hectare, and production rose by 57,600 tonnes compared to June 2021. Consequently, the demand for higher crop yields is propelling the atrazine market’s expansion.

Leading companies in the atrazine market are concentrating on creating innovative products, such as post-emergent herbicides, to enhance weed control efficiency and improve crop safety. Post-emergent herbicides are applied after weeds have emerged and target critical processes such as protein synthesis or photosynthesis. These herbicides are often used in conjunction with pre-emergent herbicides for effective, season-long weed management. For instance, in March 2022, BASF SE, a Germany-based chemical company, launched Vesnit Complete, a post-emergent herbicide designed for sugarcane. This product effectively targets both grasses and broadleaf weeds in sugarcane and corn fields. It utilizes two distinct modes of action, integrating Topramezone and Atrazine for prolonged weed control. Additionally, the herbicide includes an inbuilt adjuvant to enhance its performance, ensuring effective application while protecting the sugarcane crop. Vesnit Complete reliably combats common weeds such as Echinochloa spp., Digitaria sanguinalis, and Amaranthus viridis, providing a robust solution for increasing crop yield.

In March 2023, Albaugh LLC, a US-based manufacturer of agricultural crop protection products, acquired Corteva Agriscience for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to expand Albaugh's global presence in glyphosate DMA salt formulations and registrations, enhance its market reach in previously underrepresented regions, and strengthen its glyphosate offerings in key markets, including the U.S., Canada, and Brazil. Corteva Agriscience is a US-based agricultural chemical company known for producing atrazine-based herbicides.

Atrazine is a synthetic herbicide widely used for controlling weeds in crops, especially corn and sugarcane. It functions by inhibiting photosynthesis in plants, thereby stunting their growth. While atrazine is effective, it has raised environmental and health concerns, prompting regulations in certain regions regarding its usage and potential impacts on water sources.

The primary forms of atrazine include liquid, dry, and other types. Liquid atrazine is preferred in large-scale agriculture due to its ease of mixing, uniform application, and rapid weed control, particularly in row crops such as corn and sugarcane. It is available for various crop types, including cereals, corn, sugar crops, sorghum, and wheat. Distribution occurs through several channels such as e-commerce, specialty stores, hypermarkets, and supermarkets. Atrazine can be applied using different methods, including surface application, herbigation, and foliar application, and is utilized at various stages, such as pre-plant, pre-emergence, and post-emergence.
