Pesticide And Other Agricultural Chemicals Market On Course To Reach $170.03 Billion By 2030: Size And Growth Overview
The pesticide and other agricultural chemicals market has experienced robust expansion over recent years. It is projected to increase from $113.13 billion in 2025 to $122.37 billion in 2026, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. Historically, this growth has been fueled by factors such as the proliferation of commercial farming practices, emerging problems with pest resistance, escalating food demand due to population increases, the consistent application of chemical crop protection, and the spread of monoculture farming.
The pesticide and other agricultural chemicals market is projected to experience substantial growth over the coming years. Its valuation is anticipated to reach $170.03 billion by 2030, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. This expansion during the forecast period is primarily driven by factors such as the increasing embrace of sustainable agriculture, a growing need for elevated crop yields, the development of precision farming methods, the proliferation of bio-based agrochemicals, and a heightened emphasis on food security. Key developments expected in this period include an uptick in the demand for bio-based pesticides, a greater utilization of selective herbicides, wider acceptance of integrated pest management strategies, the broadening of crop-specific chemical solutions, and an enhanced focus on protecting yields and controlling diseases.

Pesticide And Other Agricultural Chemicals Market Growth Factors: What Is Strengthening Demand Worldwide?
The increasing occurrence of crop diseases and pests is anticipated to boost the expansion of the pesticides and other agricultural chemicals market in the future. Crop protection involves employing diverse methods, such as pesticides and other techniques, to guard crops against harm or reduction caused by pests, diseases, weeds, and environmental elements, thereby guaranteeing peak agricultural productivity and quality. These chemicals assist in battling crop diseases and pests by either directly eradicating or hindering the proliferation of these detrimental organisms, or by altering plant traits to enhance resistance, consequently safeguarding crop yields and quality. As an illustration, in April 2025, the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), a US-based non-profit trade association, reported that the U.S. structural pest control industry saw significant growth in 2024, with total service revenues achieving $12.654 billion, marking a 7.9% increase from $11.723 billion in 2023. Consequently, the widespread presence of crop diseases and pests is propelling the expansion of the pesticides and other agricultural chemicals market.

Pesticide And Other Agricultural Chemicals Market Trend Outlook: Developments Defining The Forecast Period
Leading companies within the pesticide and agricultural chemicals market are concentrating on developing advanced agrochemical products, including generic chlorantraniliprole insecticides, to combat rising pest resistance and improve crop defense. Generic chlorantraniliprole insecticides are defined as unbranded versions of insecticides that utilize chlorantraniliprole as their active component. For instance, in September 2023, ADAMA Ltd., an Israel-based chemical company, launched its first generic chlorantraniliprole (CTPR) formulations in India, introducing Cosayr and Lapidos. Cosayr is a foliar application designed to control pests such as stem borer and leaf folders affecting rice crops, while Lapidos is a granular formula intended to protect crops during their early growth stages. This launch underscores ADAMA’s dedication to improving agricultural productivity through effective pest management solutions, leveraging its internal production capabilities as part of its “Core Leap” strategy, which focuses on employing off-patent active ingredients.
