The rapidly increasing world population has risen the demand for food production and consequently driving the growth in the agrochemicals market. According to World Bank, the world population increased from 6.9 Bn in 2010 and reached 7.7 Bn in 2020. Therefore, to meet the food requirements of such a rapidly growing population, agrochemical products are widely being deployed in the agricultural sector. In addition, agrochemical products offer several benefits in the agricultural sector which also increasing the agrochemicals industry growth. Agrochemicals provide high yield and improved yield quality to crop production. In addition, they help in reducing crop loss by providing crop protection in the agriculture sector. These benefits help in increasing crop production and consequently meet the surging global demand for agricultural produce.
Moreover, increasing cultivable land area for the production of horticultural crops such as floricultural plants and fruits & vegetables is also an important factor boosting the sales of several agricultural chemicals. Further, agricultural growth in several emerging markets such as Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa is also contributing to the growth of agrochemicals market. Additionally, a strong focus of agrochemical manufacturers on product innovation is also expected to influence the market growth.
