Market Overview

Herbicides are chemical substances used to prevent, destroy, or inhibit the growth of unwanted plants or weeds. These agrochemicals play a crucial role in agriculture, enabling farmers to enhance crop yields and manage weed resistance effectively. In the United States, government initiatives significantly influence the herbicide market. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates the registration and use of herbicides, ensuring safety for human health and the environment. Additionally, various agricultural programs promote sustainable farming practices, which often include integrated weed management strategies that utilize herbicides responsibly. Several driving factors contribute to the growth of the herbicide market. The increasing demand for food production due to a rising population necessitates effective weed control measures. Advancements in herbicide formulations and application technologies also enhance effectiveness and reduce environmental impact. Furthermore, the growing trend towards herbicide-resistant crops has led to higher herbicide usage, as farmers seek to maximize efficiency and minimize crop loss. Increased awareness of the importance of weed management in sustainable agriculture further supports market expansion, making herbicides an essential component of modern farming practices.

Market Segment

The U.S. herbicide market share is classified into type and crop type.

• The synthetic segment is expected to hold the largest market share through the forecast period.

The US herbicide market is by type into synthetic and bioherbicides. Among these, the synthetic segment is expected to hold the largest market share through the forecast period. This is attributed to the synthetic herbicides affect plant disease in several mechanisms. Synthetic herbicides are in demand due to their effectiveness and inexpensiveness. Synthetic herbicides include glyphosate, atrazine, paraquat, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, and others. Glyphosate and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid are the most used herbicides due to their low cost, efficiency, plant development, and use in weed control.

• The grains & cereals segment is expected to hold the largest market share through the forecast period.

The US herbicide market is segmented by crop type into grains & cereals, pulses & oilseeds, fruits & vegetables, and turfs & ornamentals. Among these, the grains & cereals segment is expected to hold the largest market share through the forecast period. This is attributed to the large acreage devoted to the cultivation of these crops as well as the growing consumption of staple foods. For grains and cereals, weed management is usually needed more often, so in general, herbicide applications are higher compared to other products like pulses, oilseeds, fruits, and vegetables. In addition to this, development in the
