The insecticides market is projected to reach a value of USD 19.27 billion by 2022,
at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2017 to 2022. The market is driven by factors such as increasing
global exports and rise in instances of crop losses due to pest infestation.
Moreover, population growth exceeds global food production, owing to which the use
of best grades of insecticides for agriculture will benefit growers and the
economically backward population in developing countries. Increasing
investments in R&D capabilities of the key players for innovating new insecticides
products, along with the increased expenditure on innovating new and cost-effective
production processes of insecticides is expected to change the business
landscape in the next six years.
On the basis of type, the other segment is projected to grow at the highest growth rate from 2017 to 2022. This is due to the stringent regulations posed by the government of varied countries on different classes of synthetic insecticides such as organochlorine, carbamates, and organophosphates. Due to the constant phase-out of active ingredients in these insecticide classes, better and less-toxic chemicals are expected to capture the major market in the near future.
On
the basis of crop type, the fruits & vegetables segment is projected to at
the highest CAGR during the review period, in terms of volume. The demand for
various types of fruits & vegetables is driven by favorable climatic
conditions, technology, and storage methods. In order to protect stored crops,
insecticides are widely used for fruits & vegetables, thereby increasing
their yield and crop.

widely used mode of application due to its ease of application and high
effectiveness. Foliar spray or foliar feeding is a technique of feeding plants
by applying liquid insecticides directly to their leaves. It is recommended
when environmental conditions limit the uptake of nutrients through roots.
Asia
Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing market for insecticides between
2017 and 2022. The Asia Pacific market experiences the maximum consumption of insecticides
due to the increasing awareness about pesticides and continuous technological
advancements. Key players focus on research & development to develop
products conforming to European regulations for insecticides, since these
regulations are considered to be benchmarks in terms of certain insecticides.
