Global Agrochemicals Additives Market Size is valued at USD 1.8 Billion in 2024 and is predicted to reach USD 2.8 Billion by 2034 at an 4.4% CAGR during the forecast period of 2025-2034.
Key Industry Insights & Findings from the Report:
Pesticides and fertilizers used in agriculture, sometimes known as agrochemicals, are used to manage weeds and insects, ward off disease, and boost plant growth. Agrochemicals aid in managing the microorganisms and agricultural ecosystems in the farming region. Fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides are a few examples of agrochemicals. The product's capacity to stop the loss of essential nutrients like phosphorus, sulfur, potassium and nitrogen is anticipated to boost growth over the projection period. Additionally, it is used to prevent caking and corrosion during fertilizer transportation and storage.
The expansion of the agrochemical additives market is anticipated to be constrained during the projected period by consumers' growing aversion to chemical additives and preference for biopesticides.
The agrochemical additives market is segmented into form, crop type, and application. Based on type, the market is divided into fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides. Based on form, the market is divided into solid and liquid. Based on crop type, the market is further divided into cereals & grains, oilseeds & pulses, fruits & vegetables, and others (plantation crops and hydroponics). The market is segmented based on application: traditional pesticides, seed treatment, micronutrients and fertilizers, soil health, and others.
The fertilizer segment is anticipated to dominate the market in terms of type throughout the forecast period. Additive sales are anticipated to grow significantly throughout the forecast period due to the significant number of fertilizers produced. The need for food and agricultural products will likely increase due to population expansion, which will fuel the use of fertilizers in the agriculture sector. Government subsidies on some fertilizers are expected to help the fertilizers segment to remain a significant end-use in the market. As a result, it is projected that the need for biopesticides will rise in the years to come.
The crop segment dominates the agrochemical additives market over the forecast period. The majority of agrochemicals are used on cereals and grains because crops like rice may have lower yields and less readily available nutrients due to nutrient deficiencies in the soil. Critical minerals are added to fertilizers to boost rice crop output and grain nutrient content, which is anticipated to propel the demand for agrochemical additives. The United Nations, Food and Agriculture Organization predicts that cereal crop production will increase shortly.
Asia Pacific nations lead the market. This is because agriculture is a standard industry in emerging nations, together with the fact that countries with little amounts of available land must utilize agricultural additives to boost yield per acre. In these nations, the government supports most agrochemical additions through policies and programs for farmers. Agrochemical Additives increase a nation's productivity while assisting customers in becoming self-sufficient. Producing crops sold and exported is strongly promoted because of their higher price-attracting properties. The same producers of these crops also receive more significant incentives, such as cheaper fertilizers, seeds, and loan rates. The agricultural industry accounts for a small portion of North America's gross domestic product, and the continent has historically produced enough food for its population. Therefore, its geographic share is insignificant. However, because they are the centre of invention, these nations quickly adapt to new developments.
