Agricultural Bactericides Market Trends

• Accelerated deployment of bactericides for better crop yields to boost the agricultural bactericides market growth

Crops are protected from bacteria, fungi, and other pathogens by bactericides. Food and horticultural crops are experiencing burgeoning demand due to increased health awareness, which increases the number of job opportunities for manufacturers of bactericides. In addition to providing better crop yields, bactericides also improve the distribution of the products. Some factors are anticipated to boost the growth of the global bactericides market in the coming years. For instance, in December 2017, Greenspire Global Inc. introduced prosodic, an agricultural fungicide and bactericide for disease control without using synthetics. By doing so, we can preserve the variety of ornamental plants and fruits and vegetables.

Further, one of the major factors driving the growth of the agricultural bactericides market is the growing need to cater to the growing food demands among consumers across the globe. Growing regulatory interventions in agricultural sectors for farming culture and safe farming, as well as increased care for food security and concerns over food quality, are accelerating market growth. As bactericides are increasingly used to reduce losses due to bacterial infections and enhance crop yields and quality, and as farming techniques and technologies change, the market is further influenced. Moreover, bactericides market growth is positively affected by the reduction of arable land, the acceptance of modern farming techniques, the improvement of agrochemical products, emerging technologies, and high returns on investment.

Additionally, growing organic food demand, awareness of the benefits of using agricultural bactericides, and adopting precision farming techniques are the main growth factors for the Agricultural Bactericides Market. Increasing pest populations, disease outbreaks, and food demands are major growth drivers. It is becoming increasingly important to protect crops and ensure food safety. Agrochemicals and crop protection companies have recently innovated their products to meet market demands. This has expected to an increase in the use of agricultural bactericides around the globe. Therefore, such as bactericides ensure good organic crops. It has enhanced the agricultural bactericides market CAGR globally in recent years.

However, to cater to the demand, there have been significant advances in crop improvement. For instance, several introductions of agricultural bactericides implants have been another factor driving the growth of the Agricultural Bactericides market revenue.

Agricultural Bactericides Market Segment Insights

Agricultural Bactericides Type Insights

The Agricultural Bactericides Market segmentation, based on type, includes copper-based bactericides, amide bactericides, dithiocarbamate bactericides, and others. The copper-based agricultural bactericides segment held the majority share in 2022, contributing to around ~35-40% of the Agricultural Bactericides Market revenue. In addition, agriculture has been using copper-based bactericides as foliar treatments to prevent bacterial and fungal diseases for several years. Because of their biocidal activity against many bacteria, copper-based bactericides are considered promising antibacterial agents. As a result, copper-based crop bactericides are predicted to remain in high demand among growers for a long time.

Agricultural Bactericides Form Insights

The Agricultural Bactericides Market segmentation, based on form, includes dry and liquid. The liquid segment dominated the market in 2022 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period, 2022-2030. There is a strong expectation that liquid crop bactericide adoption will rise due to the convenience and ease of application offered by liquid crop bactericides. As a result of the ease of shipping and transportation available in solid packages, the markets for crop bactericides are steadily growing. Hence, rising applications of liquid crop bactericides for agricultural bactericides positively impact market growth.

Agricultural Bactericides Crop Type Insights

The Agricultural Bactericides Market data has been bifurcated by crop type into fruits & vegetables, cereals & grains, oilseeds & pulses, and others. The fruits & vegetables segment dominated the market in 2022 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period, 2022-2030. Producing fruit and vegetables is greatly decreasing due to the increased bacterial infestations, so fruit and vegetable producers require crop bactericides. Bactericide sales are predicted to increase as fruit and vegetables are high-value crops with high-profit margins. Growth companies always seek efficient crop inputs to boost bactericide sales.
