Herbicide Safeners Market Outlook and Opportunities in Grooming Regions with Forecast 2032

November 2022, Market Research Future has published a Report on the Global Herbicide Safeners Market

Market Forecast

Global Herbicide Safeners Market size is projected to be valued at USD 2.9 Billion by 2032 at a CAGR of 7.60% between 2023 and 2032.

Herbicide safeners are basically chemicals that increase the tolerance of cereals plants to herbicides without affecting the weed control effectiveness. With the use of safeners, difficult weed control problems can be addressed. The continuous rise in demand for crops to fulfill the needs of the rising population is resulting in an increased demand for herbicides. Trace amounts of herbicides and pesticides are often present in the end product consumed. This is influencing the increased demand for safeners in herbicides among the manufacturers. The growth of the agriculture sector in developing nations and increasing cereals production is boosting the sales of herbicide safeners. The herbicide safeners market players are emphasizing product launches, partnerships, acquisitions, and expansions to meet the increasing market demand.

Increasing instances of toxicity of herbicides on crops

Growth Opportunities in the Market

Rising cereals & grains production: Among all the crops, cereals & grains are the most consumed and account for the largest portion of the agricultural land worldwide. Also, the increasing demand for plant-based food has further boosted the demand for cereals & grains in food processing industries. Thus, with the continuous rise in the production of cereals & grains across the world, the demand for crop protectors such as herbicide safeners is expected to grow tremendously in the coming years.  

Growth of safener products in non-selective herbicides: Safeners are majorly applied in selective herbicides. However, growing demand for GM crops has opened doors for safeners in non-selective herbicides. Resistance to specific herbicide types is one of the key traits introduced into genetically modified organisms or GMOs.  

Increasing availability of herbicide safener products: Herbicide safener is gradually evolving in the agricultural industry. Farmers in some of the developing and underdeveloped countries are unaware of the product. However, the increasing availability of herbicides in the market consisting of safeners is projected to drive the attention of consumers, which will uplift the market growth in the coming years.
