The global agrochemical industry is expected to witness good growth and reach an estimated US
$68.5 billion in 2017 with a CAGR of 5.5% over the next five years. A rise in the global demand
for nutritious and high-quality food and the shrinking of arable land is expected to drive the
agrochemical industry over the forecast period.

Lucintel, a leading global management consulting and market research firm, has analyzed the
global agrochemical market and presents its findings in “Global Agrochemical Industry 2012-
2017: Trend, Profit, and Forecast Analysis.”

The Agrochemical industry is highly consolidated and consists of insecticides, fungicides, and
herbicides. Lucintel’s research indicates that developing countries such as China and India are
demanding higher volumes of nutritious food, which will increase demand for agrochemicals
during the forecast period. Agrochemicals have significantly increased farm productivity in both
developed and developing countries. Increased production of soybeans and sugarcane in Latin
America is also driving growth in the region.

In the Global Agrochemical industry, APAC is forecast to witness the highest growth during the
next five years. Asia and ROW represent growth opportunities for the Agrochemical industry.
Lucintel’s research identifies China, India, Brazil, and Argentina as key growth areas during the
forecast period. Countries in the APAC region (such as China, and Thailand) are projected to
post strong growth in agricultural output, which will ultimately boost the Agrochemical industry.
Fungicide products based on innovative technology offer efficient and long-lasting disease control
and have positive effects on plant physiology, which in turn increases its adaptability across the
globe.

Lucintel’s research provides a concise overview of the Global Agrochemical industry. This
research report categorizes the global industry for agrochemicals on the basis of application and
geography. On the basis of application it tracks three Industry segments, Insecticides,
Fungicides, and Herbicides, for four geographic regions – thus it tracks twelve segments of the
global agrochemical industry.
