世界の農薬市場規模は2022年に2,776億米ドルに達しました。今後、IMARC Groupは、2028年には3,473億米ドルに達し、2022~2028年の成長率(CAGR)は3.80%になると予測しています。大規模な商業的農業経営の拡大、食生活の嗜好の変化と果物や野菜の消費の増加、花や観賞用植物の人気の高まりなどが、市場を推進している主な要因です。
農薬は、作物生産を強化し、害虫、病気、雑草から植物を保護するために使用される化学物質です。農薬は、より高い収量を促進し、作物の品質を確保することによって、現代の農業慣行において重要な役割を果たしています。肥料、殺虫剤、除草剤、殺菌剤など、さまざまな製品が含まれます。害虫や環境要因がもたらす課題に対処しながら、農業生産を最適化するために開発されました。植物の成長と開拓を管理することで、農家は収穫をより効率的に計画し、農産物が適切な時期に市場に届くようにすることができます。
大規模な商業的農業経営の拡大には、効率的な病害虫管理が必要であり、これが世界中の市場の成長を強化しています。さらに、農業生産性を向上させるために各国の政府機関が実施している取り組みや補助金、奨励金により、農家は収量を向上させるために農薬に投資するようになり、これが市場の成長を後押ししています。さらに、果物や野菜の消費量の増加が市場の成長に寄与しています。これとは別に、花や観賞用植物の人気の高まりは、世界的にこれらの作物の特定のニーズをサポートする農薬の需要を触媒しています。
食糧安全保障への関心の高まり
世界人口の増加に伴い、食糧安全保障が重要な関心事となっています。肥料や殺虫剤を含む農薬は、作物の収量を高め、害虫や病気から作物を守り、安定した豊富な食糧供給を確保するのに役立ちます。農家は限られた耕地でより多くの食料を生産することができ、農産物の需要増に対応できます。農薬は現代農業において不可欠なツールとなり、拡大する人口を養うための持続可能で効率的な農法を支えています。
高収量作物品種の採用増加
世界の農業需要の増大に伴い、農家は収量を最適化する方法を模索しています。高収量作物品種は、この目標を達成するために不可欠な戦略となっています。しかし、こうした集約的な作物品種は、病害虫の影響を受けやすいことが多いです。殺虫剤、殺菌剤、除草剤などの農薬は、こうした高収量作物を潜在的な脅威から守り、その生産性と生存能力を確保する上で重要な役割を果たしています。農家が生産量と収益性の向上に努めるなか、農薬の需要は高収量作物品種の採用とともに増加し続けると思われます。
持続可能な農法へのニーズの高まり
環境への影響や資源保護への懸念から、持続可能性が農業の中心的な焦点になりつつあります。農薬メーカーは、環境に優しいバイオベースの製品を開発することで、このニーズに応えています。生物農薬、有機肥料、バイオスティミュラントは、従来の農薬に代わるものとして人気を博しており、より持続可能な農業を推進しています。こうした環境にやさしいソリューションは、生態系や人間の健康への悪影響を抑えながら、効果的な病害虫管理を可能にします。消費者や規制機関が持続可能な農業を重視する中、こうした農薬製品に対する需要は世界的に高まっています。
The global agrochemicals market size reached US$ 277.6 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 347.3 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.80% during 2022-2028. The expansion of large-scale commercial farming operations, shifting dietary preferences and increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables, and the growing popularity of flowers and ornamental plants are some of the major factors propelling the market.
Agrochemicals are chemical substances used to enhance crop production and protect plants from pests, diseases, and weeds. They play a significant role in modern farming practices by promoting higher yields and ensuring crop quality. They encompass various products, such as fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. They have developed to optimize agricultural output while addressing the challenges posed by pests and environmental factors. They aid in managing plant growth and development, which allows farmers to schedule harvests more effectively and ensure the produce reaches the market at the right time.
The expansion of large-scale commercial farming operations requires efficient pest and disease management, which is strengthening the growth of the market around the world. Moreover, initiatives undertaken and subsidies and incentives offered by governing agencies of numerous countries for agricultural productivity encourage farmers to invest in agrochemicals to improve yields, which is favoring the growth of the market. In addition, the increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables is contributing to the market growth. Apart from this, the rising popularity of flowers and ornamental plants is catalyzing the demand for agrochemicals that support the specific needs of these crops worldwide.
Increasing concerns about food security
With the growing global population, which ensures food security has become a critical concern. Agrochemicals, including fertilizers and pesticides, help boost crop yields and protect crops from pests and diseases, which ensures a steady and abundant food supply. They enable farmers to produce more food on limited arable land, which meets the rising demand for agricultural products. Agrochemicals have become indispensable tools in modern agriculture, supporting sustainable and efficient farming practices to feed an expanding population.
Rise in adoption of high-yielding crop varieties
As global agricultural demands are rising, farmers are seeking ways to optimize their yields. High-yielding crop varieties have become an essential strategy to meet this goal. However, these intensive crop varieties are often more susceptible to pests and diseases. Agrochemicals, such as insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides, play a crucial role in protecting these high-yielding crops from potential threats, which ensures their productivity and viability. As farmers strive for increased output and profitability, the demand for agrochemicals will continue to rise alongside the adoption of high-yielding crop varieties.
Growing need for sustainable farming practices
Sustainability is becoming a central focus in agriculture, driven by concerns about environmental impact and resource conservation. Agrochemical manufacturers are responding to this need by developing eco-friendly and bio-based products. Biopesticides, organic fertilizers, and biostimulants have gained popularity as alternatives to conventional agrochemicals, which promotes more sustainable farming practices. These environmentally friendly solutions provide effective pest and disease management while reducing the harmful effects on ecosystems and human health. As consumers and regulatory bodies are emphasizing on sustainable agriculture, the demand for such agrochemical products is rising worldwide.
IMARC Group provides an analysis of the key trends in each segment of the global agrochemicals market report, along with forecasts at the global, regional and country levels from 2023-2028. Our report has categorized the market based on fertilizer type, pesticide type and crop type.
Nitrogen Fertilizer
