The market for herbicides is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 5.1% from 2020 to 2027 and expected to reach the market value of around US$ 44,475.0 Mn by 2027.

A herbicide is a pesticide used to kill or inhibit the growth of unwanted plants like residential or agricultural weeds and invasive species. Basically, herbicides are of two types including Selective and Non-selective, where Selective kill certain targets and leave the desired crop unharmed and non-selective Herbicides used to clear the waste ground and kill all plant material with which they come into contact.

Market Dynamics

The rising adoption of better farming practices across the globe is driving the market value. The increasing production of cereals and grains in Asian countries is additionally supporting the market value. The changing climatic condition, diminishing arable land coupled with the increasing food demand is driving the market growth. The rising development of new herbicides with a specific application is additionally accelerating the market value. The growing agricultural industry in developing economies and the development of novel formulations are projected to create potential opportunities over the forecast timeframe from 2020 to 2027.

On the other hand, several stringent regulations on the use of herbicides due to hazards associated with synthetic herbicides are projected to limit the market value.

Synthetic segment is leading the global herbicides market

By origin, the synthetic segment is dominating the global herbicides market with major share (%) in terms of value. The high demand and growth of synthetic herbicides are driven by its low cost and higher efficiency. Moreover, glyphosate is the highest consumed herbicide in the global market owing to its effectiveness at low cost along with the usage in weed management and plant growth. Furthermore, the bio-based segment is projected to exhibit the fastest growth over the forecast timeframe from 2020 to 2027. The environmental and health benefits associated with the bio-based segment are accelerating the market value.

Selective segment accounted for the major share in 2019

Based on the mode of action, the selective herbicide segment is leading the market in 2019 with maximum share. The segment is leading the market due to benefits associated with its operation as it controls or suppresses different plant species without harming the growth of desirable plants.
