United States (US) Crop Protection Chemicals Market Overview, 2027

"The United States has one of the largest agricultural sectors in the world, and crop protection chemicals play a crucial role in supporting agricultural productivity. Crop protection chemicals, also known as pesticides, are substances used to control or eliminate pests, diseases, and weeds that can damage crops. The U.S. crop protection chemical market is highly developed and diverse, encompassing various types of pesticides, including herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and others. Agriculture is a major industry in the United States, which is a net exporter of food.Agriculture in the United States is highly mechanized, with an average of only one farmer or farm laborer required per square kilometer of farmland for agricultural production. Although agricultural activity occurs in every U.S. state, it is particularly concentrated in the Central Valley of California and in the Great Plains, a vast expanse of flat arable land in the center of the nation, in the region west of the Great Lakes and east of the Rocky Mountains. The eastern wetter half is a major corn and soybean-producing region known as the Corn Belt, and the western drier half is known as the Wheat Belt because of its high rate of wheat production. The Central Valley of California produces fruits, vegetables, and nuts. The American South has historically been a large producer of cotton, tobacco, and rice, but it has declined in agricultural production over the past century. Florida leads the nation in citrus production and is the number two producer of oranges in the world behind only Brazil. Crop protection practices in the United States involve a range of measures and strategies aimed at safeguarding agricultural crops from pests, diseases, and weeds while ensuring sustainable and efficient agricultural production.Integrated Pest Management (IPM): IPM is widely practiced in the United States. It involves the integration of various pest management techniques, such as biological control, cultural practices, monitoring, use of resistant crop varieties, and targeted pesticide applications. IPM focuses on minimizing pesticide use while effectively managing pest populations.he Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates the registration, sale, and use of pesticides to ensure safety, efficacy, and environmental protection. Pesticide labels provide guidelines for proper use, application rates, and safety precautions.The United States is a leader in the development and adoption of genetically modified (GM) crops. GM crops are engineered to resist pests, diseases, or herbicides, reducing the need for chemical interventions. Biotechnology tools, such as genetic engineering, are employed to improve crop protection and enhance agricultural productivity.rop protection practices in the United States can vary across regions, crops, and farming systems. The agricultural industry, along with government agencies and research institutions, continually work to develop and promote sustainable, science-based approaches that balance productivity, profitability, and environmental stewardship. According to the report titled, “United States (US) Crop protection Chemical Overview, 2027”, published by Bonafide Research the market is segmented by product type, by application, and by country. The segmental analyses have been detailed into herbicide, insecticide, fungicides & bactericides, and others, in terms of products, and in terms of application, the market is classified into cereals & grains, oilseeds & pulses, fruits & vegetables, and others. Herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and bactericides are collectively known as crop protection chemicals or are commonly known as pesticides. As the name suggests, the major role of these chemicals is to safeguard crops from unwanted species. The use of pesticides is backed by the reason for the farmers to yield a higher return, with could be otherwise affected by losing it to diseases. The Country of United States (US) following the global trend is witnessing the decrease in arable land, which is further coupled with the increasing population. These two factors work in the favour of the market and create the need for better yields, which drives the market growth. The market is also growing with the economical benefits the usage of crop protection brings with it. Further, the need for food security calls for application of these products. The modernisation of agriculture in the country has also fuelled the growth of crop protection market. The changing environmental climate and the rise of global warming has contributed to increase cases of crop diseases and infestation, this has driven the market in recent times among the consumers. On the other hand the stringent and everchanging policies about chemical use is creating both a positive and a negative impact on the market. The negative way in which the market suffers is that these new policies makes the entry of newcomers hard but on the other hand these policies steers the existing players to invest in R&D which results in better product for the consumer. Additionally, the changing consumer behaviour towards health consciousness is increasing the demand for organic produced products like fruits and vegetables, for which the farmer uses bio-pesticides rather than traditional chemicals, this hinders the growth of the crop protection chemicals in United States (US). The emerging habit of Veganism is increasing the need for developing plant-based food which in turn drives the market for agriculture and crop protection.

On the basis of product type, it is predicted that the herbicides will have the highest growth rate owing to their efficiency in weed removal. This product reduced the cost of weed removal by 96% as earlier weed removal was done majorly through manual processes. The growth of the market is hindered by the increasing awareness amongst the consumer towards he usage of chemical on food items. Further, the improper usage of such products have increased illness amongst the end consumer. This is one of the major factor obstructing the growth of the market. The government to tackle this problem conducts awareness drive amongst the agricultural farmers making them aware about the right usage of the product in terms of Quantity and application. Along with this the evolution of Super weeds have posed as a problem for the market. Super weeds are those weed plants which have grown immune to crop protection chemicals over a period of constant exposure. COVID-19 Impact The pandemic was a worldwide phenomenon which affected almost every industry vertical in some way or the other. The Crop protection Chemical market was no exception to this. The market was affected moderately as the agricultural practices never really came to a halt. But the negative effect was felt with respect to the supply chain and manufacturing process which was created due to lockdowns and travels restrictions.
