Global Crop Protection Chemicals Market Trends
Unusual outbreaks of pests and diseases due to climate change are leading to higher application of pesticides
- The global average consumption of crop protection chemicals was recorded at 117.9 kg per hectare in 2022. The average per hectare consumption of pesticides in the world is increasing due to factors like expanding agriculture and intensive and monoculture farming practices. Rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events create more favorable conditions for pest proliferation and expansion into new areas, leading to increased usage of chemical pesticides.
- In 2022, fungicides saw the highest per-hectare consumption at 48.4 kg, reflecting the critical need to combat fungal diseases that pose a significant threat to crop production. These diseases impact cereals, fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals, leading to substantial economic losses of approximately USD 220.0 billion despite the extensive use of fungicides, as reported by the Food and Agriculture Organization.
- Herbicides were applied at the rate of 44.8 kg per hectare in 2022. Chemical herbicide usage has been escalating every year due to the growing adaptability, rapid reproduction, and herbicide resistance of weeds, causing them to outcompete crops and resulting in significant yield losses. Examples include glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth and common water hemp, as well as acetolactate synthase-inhibiting herbicide-resistant Kochia.
- Changing climatic conditions caused by global warming create favorable conditions for certain pests, posing a severe threat to crop production. In 2020, a locust outbreak adversely impacted 23 countries, with nine in wider East Africa, 11 in North Africa & the Middle East, and three in South Asia, resulting in an estimated USD 8.5 billion loss.
