Global Market Dynamics for Segmented Pesticide Products
Release Date:
2018-12-04
Global Pesticide Market Overview Pesticides are broadly classified into two main categories: chemical pesticides and biological pesticides. Chemical pesticides have gradually gained market acceptance due to their abundant supply and pronounced efficacy. Among them, herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides—products that account for the largest share of the market—are organic chemical pesticides and currently constitute the dominant segment. Herbicides, based on their chemical structures, are commonly divided into 18 classes, including amino acid‑based, sulfonylurea‑based, imidazolinone‑based, pyrimidine‑triazole‑based, and other types. Fungicides, categorized by chemical structure, can be grouped into 15 classes, with methoxyacrylate‑based and triazine‑based compounds being among the most prevalent.
| Global Pesticide Overall Market Analysis Pesticide It is mainly divided into chemistry. Pesticide and biology Pesticide Two types, chemical Pesticide Due to its ample supply and pronounced efficacy, it has gradually gained market acceptance, with the most widespread applications in the market being… Herbicide 、 Insecticide and disinfectants, etc. Pesticide The product is classified as a chemical. Pesticide Organic in the… Pesticide , is currently the main one on the market Pesticide Product. Herbicides, classified by chemical structure, are commonly divided into 18 categories, including amino acid‑based, sulfonylurea, imidazolinone, and pyrimidine‑triazole herbicides. Fungicides, on the other hand, can be grouped into 15 categories, with methoxyacrylates and triazoles serving as the primary representative classes. Compared with herbicides and fungicides, insecticides currently available in the Chinese market… Pesticide The product portfolio is relatively limited, with neonicotinoid and pyrethroid insecticides serving as typical examples.

| Subdivision of Use Pesticide Market Analysis Pesticide Overall Analysis of the Pesticide Market Pesticides are one of the most widely used inputs in crop production. Pesticide Products. There are several ways to classify insecticides: by mode of action, they are primarily divided into stomach poisons, contact insecticides, fumigants, and systemic insecticides; by toxicological mechanism, they are mainly categorized as neurotoxins, respiratory toxins, physical irritants, and specific‑target toxins; and by origin, they are broadly classified into organic and mineral‑based insecticides, botanical insecticides, organically synthesized insecticides, and insect‑hormone‑based insecticides. Although the mechanisms of action may vary among different insecticides, all of them serve to control agricultural pests during crop production.
Global insecticide sales from 2013 to 2017 worldwide Pesticide The market share of total sales remains above 20%, but overall, this feature… Pesticide Product sales were divided by 2014, the year when the incidence of the cotton bollworm in Brazil intensified, driving a substantial increase in global insecticide sales. Since 2015, however, with relatively mild pest pressures in several major agrochemical markets and, at the same time, the European Union’s… Pesticide Regulatory actions targeting products, particularly neonicotinoid insecticides, have also weighed on the growth of global insecticide sales in recent years, resulting in an overall decline. By 2017, the global insecticide market had reached US$13.52 billion, accounting for a share of the global… Pesticide 24.94% of total sales. |

| From the sub-segmentation of insecticides Pesticide From a product perspective, neonicotinoid insecticides, pyrethroid insecticides, and carbamate insecticides constitute the main categories of insecticides. Across the broader insecticide sub‑segment market, the annual compound growth rate of neonicotinoid insecticides declined between 2012 and 2017, primarily due to the tightening of regulatory oversight on these products in Europe in 2015, which led to a substantial drop in sales. In 2017, global sales of neonicotinoid insecticides totaled US$3.28 billion. Meanwhile, pyrethroid insecticides, along with organophosphate insecticides, benzoylurea insecticides, other insect growth regulators, and organochlorine insecticides, all posted compound annual growth rates exceeding 10%.
Looking at the market share of various insecticides, neonicotinoids, pyrethroids, and organophosphates currently account for the majority of insecticide sales, with market shares of 21.18%, 19.50%, and 16.79%, respectively; the remaining insecticide products together represent less than 10% of total sales.
Herbicide and Fungicide Market Analysis Herbicides and fungicides are currently essential in agricultural production. Pesticide The product can effectively eliminate the adverse effects of weeds and bacteria on crops during their growth, thereby increasing crop yields while reducing the repetitive and labor-intensive tasks involved in farming. From 2015 to 2017, global herbicide sales continued to rise, reaching US$23.23 billion in 2017, accounting for the entire crop protection market. Pesticide 42.84% of total sales. Compared with herbicides, fungicide sales have followed a trend of first rising and then declining. In 2017, global herbicide sales totaled US$13.523 billion, down 5.99% year on year.
Currently, herbicide products on the global market are mainly categorized into amino acid–based, amide–based, sulfonylurea–based, HPPD inhibitor–based, pyridine–based, and triazine–based types. From a product‑segmentation perspective, amino acid–based herbicides… Pesticide The product generated sales of US$6.38 billion, accounting for 27.46% of the total herbicide sales that year, and is the primary product driving herbicide market performance. Meanwhile, amide‑type and sulfonylurea‑type herbicides each recorded sales exceeding US$2 billion in 2017; however, their growth rates were relatively modest. Among the herbicide products with the highest market growth, HPPD inhibitor‑type and phenoxyether‑type herbicides stood out during the 2012–2017 period. Pesticide The products’ annual compound growth rates all exceed 10%. |

| At present, the global fungicide market encompasses 15 sub‑categories, including strobilurin‑based, triazole‑based, SDHI‑based, and other azole‑based products. From 2012 to 2017, strobilurin‑based fungicides posted the highest annual compound growth rate, at 19.76%; in 2017, sales of this category reached US$3.322 billion, accounting for 24.57% of total global fungicide sales. Meanwhile, SDHI‑based, other azole‑based, and inorganic fungicides also recorded compound growth rates exceeding 10%. |

| Based on the analysis above, given the distinct functions of insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides in crop production, overall demand for these products remains relatively stable. Looking at the product segments, the aforementioned… Pesticide Products are gradually shifting from high efficacy and strong effects toward greater efficiency, environmental friendliness, and non-toxicity.
