Market dynamics
1 factors across 1 forceGrowth in Organic Farming & the Rising Demand for Organic Food Drive the Growth of the Agrochemicals Market
Biologicals are naturally occurring compounds/agents derived from animals, plants, and microorganisms such as bacteria, cyanobacteria, and microalgae. These compounds can control agricultural pests and pathogens. Products such as genes or metabolites from these biocontrol agents can prevent crop damage. Biologicals are eco-friendly and host-specific, giving them a key advantage over their traditional (chemical) counterparts. The use of chemical-free production alternatives has gained momentum due to consumers becoming more aware of the use of chemicals in food production and the potential hazards of chemical residues on human health. These factors are expected to boost organic farming, increasing the adoption of biologicals as a safe alternative to agrochemicals used for crop protection.
According to FIBL-IFOAM 2025, organic agriculture was practiced in 191 countries, with 76 million hectares of agricultural land managed organically by 3.7 million organic farmers as of 2025.
In organic agriculture, biologicals are the key components of integrated pest and weed management. Biologicals are usually bacterial; however, there are also fungal control agents, including Trichoderma spp. and Ampelomyces quisqualis (a control agent for Grapevine Powdery Mildew disease). Bacillus subtilis is also used to control plant pathogens. Weeds and rodents can also be controlled using microbial agents. Bacillus thuringiensis is a well-known insecticide against butterflies, moths, beetles, and flies. It has minimal effects on other organisms and is considered more environmentally friendly than synthetic pesticides.
Thus, growth in organic farming & the rising demand for organic food are boosting the demand for agricultural biologicals, driving the growth of this market.

By Type
- The Fertilizers Segment to Dominate the Agrochemicals Market
- The fertilizers segment is expected to account for the largest share of the agrochemicals market.
- The large share of fertilizers in agrochemicals is majorly attributed to the growing demand for fertilizers such as anhydrous ammonia, ammonium nitrate, and urea, the rising number of initiatives by government agencies along with increasing awareness about the need for sustainability in modern agriculture, and increasing adoption of advanced farming with drip irrigation and sprinklers.
- In addition, the lack of nutrients in the soil due to the use of pesticides and other harmful chemicals has led to a decline in agricultural productivity.
- This is expected to boost the demand for fertilizers.
By Form
- The Dry Form Segment to Dominate the Agrochemicals Market
- The dry form segment is expected to account for the larger share of the agrochemicals market.
- The large market share of this segment is attributed to the higher use of dry form of fertilizers.
- Additionally, dry form agrochemicals are generally less expensive to produce, transport, and store compared to liquid form agrochemicals.
- They can be easily stored for longer periods without the need for special storage facilities, which results in cost savings for farmers and distributors.
By Crop Type
- The Cereals & Grains Segment to Dominate the Agrochemicals Market
- The cereals & grains segment is expected to account for the largest share of the agrochemicals market.
- The large market share of this segment is attributed to the growing need to increase cereal & grain production, minimize cereal & grain loss due to pests and diseases, and the increasing use of these crops in animal feed, biofuel, and starch & ethanol production.
- Additionally, in many countries, governments actively support cereals & grains production due to their importance in food security.
- This often includes policies and subsidies that incentivize the use of modern agricultural practices, including the use of agrochemicals.
