INDUSTRY OUTLOOK
Agro Chemical is the second largest and the fastest growing segment in the Indian agri-input industry. With the recent outbreak of Covid-19, almost all the sectors of the economy are affected, leaving out only a few niche segments. Sectors that produce raw materials like agrochemicals including pesticides and insecticides are currently in high demand as agriculture and other allied activities are defined as essential commodities in the country. Pests and diseases, on average, destroy around 20-25% of the total food produced in India. India has been losing agricultural production worth Rs 1.48Lakh crore annually, due to the damage caused by pests, weeds, and plant diseases. Agrochemicals act as a key input for crop protection and better yield. As per a report, the cost of pesticides is roughly around 0.4% of the total cost incurred by farmers.
The global market for agrochemicals is expected to grow at a cagr of 4.3% between 2019 and 2024and can reach $299.8billion by 2024. The industry is being significantly shaped by new developments such as precision farming, integrated pest management (IPM), and off-patent products. India is the 4thlargest producer of agrochemicals after the United States, Japan& China. The agrochemicals industry is broadly classified into insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, rodenticides, biopesticides, and nematicides. Demand for Insecticides constitutes around 60% of the overall demand in the industry. Maximum consumption of crop protection chemicals arises from the state of Andhra Pradesh, followed by states like Maharashtra, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and Haryana.
The future of agrochemicals is bright. And the growth can be attributed to global population growth, growing impetus to prevent crop loss and increase yields, and rising consumer demands for sustainably produced food. However, there are some factors that can slow down the growth of the industry. These factors are Longer product development cycles and escalating costs, Increasing severity of regulatory requirements, and Government farm subsidy reduction.
Talking about the Speciality chemical industry, the Global specialty chemical market is expected to grow at a cagr of around 4%, between 2020 and 2025. It is expected to reach a market size of $1.2 trillion by 2024. Major factors driving this market growth are the increasing efforts for oil exploration and production, and the robust growth of construction activities, especially in the Asia-Pacific and the Middle East& African regions. On the contrary, increasing environmental regulations and decreasing fossil fuel reserves may hamper the growth of the market. In India, the segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12% to reach over $87 billion by 2025.
