Pesticide Intermediate Market Segment Analysis-By Type
The Pesticide Preparations Market based on the type can be further segmented into chemical Pesticides, biological pesticides. The pesticide intermediates are used in the synthesis of chemical pesticides because the latter one is prepared from natural materials. Even though they accompany many health threats, still their market is estimated to grow because of lower cost. As per WHO, more than 1000 chemical pesticides are used around the globe. Many farmers cannot afford to bear the extortionate cost of biopesticides and are more willing to adopt cheaper options like pesticide intermediates. But proliferating health awareness among people about harmful effects of chemical pesticides prepared from intermediates or active ingredients the chemical pesticides market is reducing as compared to biopesticides as they are the consequences of natural materials like minerals, and plants. Therefore, the biopesticides segment is estimated to be the fastest-growing segment with a CAGR of 7.4% over the forecast period 2022-2027. The growth is owing to the effectiveness and non-toxic nature of biopesticides as compared to chemical pesticides. Biopesticides are famous for targeting only a few harmful pests while remaining inert to humans, animals, and birds. In addition to that, they do not pollute the environment and leave no harmful effect on food owing to their degradable nature. Moreover, the heightening alertness among farmers about harmful effects of chemical pesticides prepared through intermediates. Pesticide Intermediate Market Segment Analysis-By Application The Pesticide Preparations Market based on the application can be further segmented into rodenticides, algicides, fungicides, avicide, bactericide, insecticide, herbicides/weeding, and others. The insecticides segment held the largest share in 2021. Therefore, the usage of several active ingredients such as bet-cyfluthrin, permethrin, cypermethrin, and others are taken into account for the fabrication of pesticides is broadening. Moreover, Intermediates are an indispensable part of synthetic insecticides like chlorinated hydrocarbons, organophosphates. The growth in this segment is owing to the budding attacks of insects on crops every year and insecticides have become primary agents to keep insects away from crops. According to Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), annually more than 20% of crop production is spoiled by pests. Moreover, the insecticides and herbicides segment is estimated to be the fastest-growing segment with a CAGR of 7.6% over the forecast period 2022-2027. This growth is owing to bourgeoning difficulties of undesirable plants and insects which reduce the crop yield. Moreover, the cognizance among farmers stimulating the use of present-day tools and techniques like pesticides will be another big factor in the growth of the respective segment.
Pesticide Intermediate Market Segment Analysis - By Geography
The Pesticide Preparations Market based on Geography can be further segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, and the Rest of the World. Asia-pacific held the largest share with 36% of the overall market in 2021. The growth in this segment is owing to the factors such as the presence of the biggest manufacturer and user of intermediates like China. China uses more than 25% of the world’s pesticides. On another hand, it accounts for 9% of global cropland. Moreover, a bigger chunk of Asian economies is dependent upon the agriculture sector. China’s agriculture sector contributes more than 7% to the GDP whereas, over 20-22% of people are employed in this sector. Similarly, the Indian agriculture sector contributes around 13-14% and employs over 40% of the workforce in the country. Therefore, considering the importance of the agriculture industry for these nations the demand for pesticide intermediates is accruing.
