Global Glyphosate Market - Key Trends and Drivers Summarized
Glyphosate is a widely used herbicide that targets a broad spectrum of weeds and grasses. It was first introduced by Monsanto in 1974 under the trade name Roundup and has since become one of the most commonly applied herbicides globally. Glyphosate works by inhibiting a specific enzyme pathway, the shikimic acid pathway, which is essential for plant growth. This mode of action makes it highly effective against a wide range of plant species while being non-toxic to humans and animals. Glyphosate is used in agricultural settings to enhance crop yields by controlling weeds, as well as in non-agricultural areas such as lawns, gardens, and industrial sites.
The use of glyphosate has revolutionized modern agriculture, contributing significantly to the efficiency of crop production. Farmers have adopted glyphosate-resistant genetically modified (GM) crops, which can withstand applications of the herbicide, allowing for more effective weed control without damaging the crops themselves. This has led to increased crop yields and reduced labor costs associated with manual weeding. However, the widespread use of glyphosate has also sparked controversy and debate, particularly concerning its environmental impact and potential health risks. While regulatory bodies such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have deemed glyphosate safe when used according to guidelines, some studies have raised concerns about its potential links to cancer and other health issues.
The growth in the glyphosate market is driven by several factors. Technological advancements in agriculture, including the development of glyphosate-resistant GM crops, have significantly boosted the demand for this herbicide. The rising global population and the subsequent need for increased food production also play a crucial role in market expansion, as farmers seek efficient and cost-effective solutions to maximize crop yields. Additionally, changes in farming practices, such as the adoption of no-till farming, which helps preserve soil structure and reduce erosion, have increased the reliance on herbicides like glyphosate for weed control. Consumer behavior trends, including the preference for sustainable and high-yield agricultural practices, further drive the market. Despite the controversies, the proven efficacy and cost benefits of glyphosate ensure its continued demand in the agricultural sector.
SCOPE OF STUDY:TARIFF IMPACT FACTOR
Our new release incorporates impact of tariffs on geographical markets as we predict a shift in competitiveness of companies based on HQ country, manufacturing base, exports and imports (finished goods and OEM). This intricate and multifaceted market reality will impact competitors by artificially increasing the COGS, reducing profitability, reconfiguring supply chains, amongst other micro and macro market dynamics.
We are diligently following expert opinions of leading Chief Economists (14,949), Think Tanks (62), Trade & Industry bodies (171) worldwide, as they assess impact and address new market realities for their ecosystems. Experts and economists from every major country are tracked for their opinions on tariffs and how they will impact their countries.
We expect this chaos to play out over the next 2-3 months and a new world order is established with more clarity. We are tracking these developments on a real time basis.
As we release this report, U.S. Trade Representatives are pushing their counterparts in 183 countries for an early closure to bilateral tariff negotiations. Most of the major trading partners also have initiated trade agreements with other key trading nations, outside of those in the works with the United States. We are tracking such secondary fallouts as supply chains shift.
To our valued clients, we say, we have your back. We will present a simplified market reassessment by incorporating these changes!
