United States Crop Protection Chemicals Market Size & Share | 2027
Market Overview
The US crop protection chemicals market is projected to register a CAGR of 3.8% during the forecast period (2022-2027).
The rapid proliferation of COVID-19 at home and abroad and the subsequent shutdown of parts of the economy led to unprecedented and simultaneous supply and demand shocks to the food system. Most critically, the USDA initially aided through the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program, which is estimated to provide up to USD 16 billion to US farmers and ranchers to help them deal with the significant income losses they incurred during the pandemic. According to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), soybean witnessed the highest rate of application of insecticides in terms of volume. The volume was 4,075 metric ton in 2017, followed by corn at 750.7 metric ton. Neonicotinoids and chlorpyrifos are the major insecticides used by farmers in Minnesota. However, due to the rising concerns regarding the harmful effects of the use of synthetic insecticides, the government restricted the use of neonicotinoids in the state, mainly to ensure permissible use of the bee-harming insecticide. By product type, the market is broadly segmented into herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, nematicides, and other crop protection chemicals. Herbicides held the largest market share in terms of value in 2020, with USD 3.68 billion, followed by insecticides and fungicides. The growing demand for food is constantly increasing the need for agricultural productivity, which accelerates the demand and need for crop protection chemicals. The improved scientific and technological trends in the crop protection chemicals market are likely to be major drivers positively impacting the market during the forecast period.
