Glyphosate Market: By Crop Type (Genetically Modified Crop, Conventional Crop), By Application (Agriculture, Household, Industrial and Others), By Function (Weed Management Solution, Improve Soil Health, Improved Planting Efficiency, and Others), and Geography

Glyphosate Market size was valued at USD 10,873.2 million in 2022 and is expected to grow at a 6.1% CAGR from 2023 to 2029. Glyphosate is a type of pesticides used to kill grasses and weeds and control the growth of fungi and spore disease. Increase in population has increased the demand for food in this region, and loss of crops are not appreciable and countries like India, China has large amount of crop yielding land and agriculture is the primary source of income in this regions, adoption of advanced agricultural practices such as zero tillage and other techniques is expected to drive the growth of glyphosate market over the forecast period. In addition, increasing application of glyphosate in agriculture and non-agriculture fields, increasing demand for high value crops, and increase in adoption and popularity of genetically modified crops like corn, cotton, and soybean are expected to boost the global glyphosate market over the forecast period. Furthermore, the growing use of glyphosate in non-agricultural activities like control of industries and domestic vegetation, forests, woodlots and growing approval of herbicide-tolerance technology for inorganically grown crops, and increase in adoption of glyphosate by farmers are expected to further boost the market growth. moreover, the economic cost, low environmental degradation is expected to have positive impact on glyphosate market over the forecast years. However, harmful effect of glyphosate on human health and environment, strict government restriction regarding the use of glyphosate. For instance, in 2022 the Indian government restricted the use of chemical glyphosate in India, fearing risks to human and animal health. Furthermore, increase in glyphosate resistance weeds are expected to hinder the growth glyphosate market over the forecast years.

Glyphosate Market Key Developments:

• In August 2022, BASF collaborated with Corteva Agriscience to develop soybean weed control to help farmers across the globe.
• In January 2021, Syngenta launched its product ‘kesuda isopropyl amine salt of N-glycine 41%’ to overcome the instability of glyphosate in low temperatures.
