The study offers a comprehensive analysis of the crop protection chemicals market based on type, formulation, mode of application, crop type, and geography.

The crop protection chemicals market is segmented by type (Synthetic Crop Protection Chemicals {Herbicides [glyphosate, acetochlor, 2,4-D, atrazine, and other herbicides], Insecticides [organophosphates, pyrethroids, carbamates, organochlorides, and other insecticides], Fungicides [Triazole, Strobilurins, Chloronitriles, Dithiocarbamates, Phenylamides, Benzimidazoles, and Other Fungicides], Other Synthetic Crop Protection Chemicals} and Biological Crop Protection Chemicals {bioinsecticides, biofungicides, bionematicides, bioherbicides, and other biological crop protection chemicals}), formulation (liquid formulation and dry formulation), mode of application (foliar spray, seed treatment, soil treatment, and other modes of application), crop type (cereals & grains {maize/corn, wheat, and other cereals & grains}, oilseeds & pulses, fruits & vegetables, and other crops), and geography. The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the market at the country level.

Among the types studied, in 2023, the synthetic chemicals segment is expected to account for the largest share of the crop protection chemicals market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to its increasing use in developing countries, ease of availability, high efficiency, and lower cost than biological products.

However, the biological chemicals segment is projected to witness significant growth during the forecast period of 2023–2030. The rapid growth of this segment is mainly driven by the increasing adoption of organic farming, growing environmental and public health concerns regarding the use of chemical crop protection products, high demand for chemical residue-free agricultural products, and the initiatives by governments worldwide to promote the use of biological crop protection products.

Among the formulation segments studied for the crop protection chemicals market, in 2023, the liquid formulation segment is expected to account for the larger share. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the uniform & easy application of liquid form, better performance, and higher effective duration (up to 6 months) than dry form (up to 3 months).

Moreover, it is also expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The growth of this segment is driven by the increased importance of the latest irrigation technologies, such as drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation, with a reduction in blockage.

Among the mode of application segments studied for this report, in 2023, the foliar spray segment is expected to account for the largest share of the crop protection chemicals market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the high efficiency in the application, uniform distribution of chemicals, and minimum to no wastage of crop protection chemicals in the foliar spray mode of application.

However, the seed treatment segment is projected to witness significant growth during the forecast period of 2023–2030. The rapid growth of this segment is mainly driven by the increased germination and uniform seedling emergence, safety, and pest resistance advantages with the use of the seed treatment technique. In this method, microbial pesticides are often applied with chemical pesticides, as chemical pesticides provide early-season control, and microbial pesticides provide extended control.

Among the crop type segments studied for this report, in 2023, the cereals & grains segment is expected to account for the largest share of the crop protection chemicals market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the growing need to increase cereal & grain production, minimize cereal & grain loss due to pests and diseases, and the increasing use of these crops in animal feed, biofuel, and starch & ethanol production.

Based on geography, the market is segmented into five major regions: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. The major market share of Latin America is attributed to the increasing population and food requirements, rapid expansion in the agriculture sector, and the growing need to increase crop yield. Also, rising awareness among farmers about the benefits of using high-end agro products and increasing adoption of organic farming practices further support the growth of this market.
