During the primary research process, both supply-side and demand-side stakeholders were interviewed to gather qualitative and quantitative information. Supply-side sources were CEOs, VPs of Agricultural Solutions, heads of regulatory affairs, and commercial directors from agrochemical manufacturers, formulation companies, and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Demand-side sources included agronomists, crop protection specialists, turf management professionals, golf course superintendents, landscaping contractors, and procurement leads from commercial farming operations, agricultural cooperatives, forestry management companies, and municipal landscaping departments. Primary research confirmed market segmentation, confirmed product pipeline timelines, and gathered information on how people use formulations, how they set prices, how distribution channels work, and what the rules are for following them.

Global market valuation was derived through revenue mapping and volume analysis. The methodology included:
Identification of 40+ key manufacturers across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America
Product mapping across granules, liquid concentrate, aqueous solution, and other formulation categories
Analysis of reported and modeled annual revenues specific to Mecoprop and phenoxy herbicide portfolios
Coverage of manufacturers representing 75-80% of global market share in 2024
Extrapolation using bottom-up (application volume × ASP by country/region) and top-down (manufacturer revenue validation) approaches to derive segment-specific valuations for agricultural herbicide, forestry herbicide, and turf & ornamental herbicide applications
