The global Agrochemicals Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 81274.23 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.2% over the forecast period 2023-2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Agrochemicals are used to improve crop quality and yield. Herbicides, insecticides and fungicides help protect crops from being damaged by weeds, pests and diseases. This contributes significantly towards improving agricultural productivity and ensuring food security.
Market key trends:
Precision farming has emerged as a key trend in the agrochemicals market. Precision farming techniques rely on global positioning systems (GPS) technology, sensors, drones and data analytics to analyze soil conditions, monitor crop growth and optimize agrochemical application. This helps farmers apply agrochemicals only where needed, thereby reducing costs and minimizing environmental impact associated with overuse of agrochemicals. Precision farming is expected to drive demand for advanced agrochemicals that are compatible with precision application methods.
