The forecast for domestic processed output of pesticides in the UK shows a consistent decline over the next five years, starting from 11.96 thousand metric tons in 2024 and reducing to 9.65 thousand metric tons by 2028. In 2023, the output stood at 12.55 thousand metric tons. This indicates a steady downward trend with a year-on-year decline averaging around 5% from 2024 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period highlights a persistent contraction in production capacity.
Future trends to watch for include the increasing impact of regulatory changes on pesticide use, advancements in agricultural technology, and shifts towards sustainable and organic farming practices, which may further reduce demand for traditional pesticides.
