US Agrochemical Market Overview and Size
US Agrochemical market grew at a limited growth rate
over the review period 2013-2019 and was further driven by shift towards new,
proprietary premixes & formulations involving more than one active
ingredient. During 2017, total number of farms in the US were evaluated at 2.04
million along with a land area of 900.0 million acres. Rising demand for crop
protection chemicals due to frequent outbreaks of pest attacks on crops,
resulted in heavy losses especially during monsoon. The productivity per acre
has grown steadily due to more effective / efficient farming technologies,
including greater mechanization techniques applied to land and water
management, improved methods of land preparation, planting, crop protection,
harvesting, and storage. As a result of which, New food processing,
manufacturing, and packaging techniques have resulted in a flourishing F&B
sector thus, giving a boost to crop protection pesticides for agricultural
products such as food grains, oilseeds, vegetables and fruits, which, in turn,
is driving the agrochemicals market growth. Also, entries of several foreign
players have also contributed towards the same coupled with increasing usage of
Bio pesticides in the United States.
US Agrochemical Market Segmentation
By Product Type (Herbicides,
Insecticides, Fungicides and Other Pesticides)
Strong growth was observed in the insecticides
product segment majorly due to slight increase in acreage for insecticide-heavy
crops such as fruits and vegetables. Continued adoption of Integrated Pest
Management (IPM) techniques has limited the demand as farmers tend to turn to
insecticides as a last resort. Rising insecticide active ingredient demand in
the US was observed towards Organophosphates, Carbamates, Pyrethroids and
Neonicotinoids. Whereas on the other hand, demand for herbicides was fueled by
a growing need for more effective herbicide formulations as weeds become more
resistant to glyphosate. Apart from that, active ingredient demand towards
Atrazine, 2,4-D, S-Metolachlor, Acetochlor and Dicamba herbicides gained
traction in the US. Minimal revenue share was captured by fungicides in the
year 2019. Active ingredient demand towards Chlorothalonil and Mancozeb
fungicides. The US is a major producer of both older fungicides and newer product
types.
By Pesticide Form (Liquid,
Granules and Powder)
Liquid pesticides have a majority share in terms of
revenues in the US. Since the use of liquid pesticides is relatively easier,
farmers prefer to use liquid pesticides. Switching to liquid sprays leads to
lesser wastage as compared to other forms. Majorly, liquid spray is used in the
spring (April, May and Early June) and fall (September, October and Mid-November)
to get weed control. On the other hand, granules & powder pesticide-form collectively
captured low revenue share as their usage is minimal and highly dependent based
on weather conditions.
By Market Structure (Organized
and Unorganized Market)
Organized sector was observed to be higher in terms
of revenue owing to the updated set of government authorities and their
regulations and number of checks performed at multiple stages. As farmers tend
to use local and authenticated products, agro-chemical companies go through the
stringent processes in order to get approvals for the same and establish their
brand the country. The unorganized market players do not have distributors and
instead directly sells to the farmers. Additionally, there products are not
approved by any sort of regulator and the government.
By Crop Type (Cereal, Fruits,
Vegetables and Others)
Cereal crops has contributed the most in the overall
agrochemical market revenues in the year 2019, with corn and soybean grown the
most in the US. Major pesticides used in cereal crops (corn, soybean and
others) are herbicides. Over 95% of US corn acreage is treated at least once
per growing season with pesticides. In case of Fruit based crops, both
herbicides and insecticides are used for crop protection. Major fruit and nut
crops include oranges, peanuts, grapes and apples. Unlike major field crops, a
fruit orchard requires insecticide at least once or twice per season in a year.
Pesticides are effective in combating against pests and increase the yield of
the fruits. Most grown vegetable crops in the US include potato, tomato and
sugarcane. Vegetables (including potatoes) do not account for a large
proportion of herbicide and insecticide usage however, they are the largest end
use for agricultural fungicides.
Snapshot
on US Bio-Pesticide Market
Biopesticides market in the
US was identified in an early growth stage. Dominance of chemical pesticides
has limited desired level of usage, given that the commercialization of new
products in the market is lagging behind. Bio-pesticides on the other hand, are
gaining traction in the global research community. Over 200
biopesticide product types are sold in the US, compared to the 60 analogous
products in the European Union (EU) market. Development of the bio-pesticides
is strongly related to research on biological control agents. Nanoformulations
and microencapsulation technologies can improve the stability and residual
action of biopesticide products, and this could increase their field use over
long term.
Competitive Landscape in US
Agrochemical Market
Competition stage was
observed to be moderately concentrated, with leading 5 players collectively
capturing over half of total market share in terms of revenue contribution
during 2019. Nevertheless, the local / domestic players have presence in the
market and are competiting on the basis of product pricing, quality and
reliability, manufacturing facilities, research and development, product
portfolio / variants, clientele / end user, distribution network and
geographical reach. Because of the presence of several major pesticide
producers, United States is net exporter of pesticide products. Major pesticide
producers have either launched variety of genetically modified seeds, or are in
the process of developing a new variety of pesticides. Major mergers and
acquisitions in the US crop protection space have provided international
players with a competitive edge over local players. For instance, Bayer
acquired Monsanto in 2018, Syngenta acquired Adama in 2017 and Strider in 2018.
US Agrochemical Market Future Outlook and Projections
Due ot the COVID-19 pandemic, US agrochemical market
growth will get affected on a short term basis owing to loss of many existing
crop protection products. Continued decline in the rate of new product
introductions, growth of off-patent manufacturers will also cause a negative
impact. Apart from that, consolidation of farms and farmland is likely to
happen after COVID-19 in the United States. The agrochemical market may witness
a boost due to expected investments in biologicals caused by manufacturer shift
to food security and sustainable crop production thus, ensuring efficient
supply chains. As a result, this should in turn drive interest towards new
product formulations for biopesticides and biostimulants. The trade dispute
between China and USA remains the most significant political factor impacting
the agriculture industry. As the arable land deficit grows and agricultural
practices become more efficient, government focus may shift from use of
agrochemicals to other aspects which can increase the longevity of arable land
without harming the environment. Factors such as growing demand for corn and
soybeans will likely maintain strong total input requirements, even if usage
per acre decreases due to rising costs and adoption of better practices.
