    Agriculture Bactericides Market Trends

      • Accelerated deployment of bactericides for better crop yields to boost the agricultural bactericides market growth

    Crops are protected from bacteria, fungi, and other pathogens by bactericides. Food and horticultural crops are experiencing burgeoning demand due to increased health awareness, which increases the number of job opportunities for manufacturers of bactericides. In addition to providing better crop yields, bactericides also improve the distribution of the products. Some factors are anticipated to boost the growth of the global bactericides market in the coming years. For instance, in December 2017, Greenspire Global Inc. introduced prosodic, an agricultural fungicide and bactericide for disease control without using synthetics.

    By doing so, we can preserve the variety of ornamental plants and fruits and vegetables.

    Further, one of the major factors driving the growth of the agricultural bactericides market is the growing need to cater to the growing food demands among consumers across the globe. Growing regulatory interventions in agricultural sectors for farming culture and safe farming, as well as increased care for food security and concerns over food quality, are accelerating market growth. As bactericides are increasingly used to reduce losses due to bacterial infections and enhance crop yields and quality, and as farming techniques and technologies change, the market is further influenced.

    Moreover, bactericides market growth is positively affected by the reduction of arable land, the acceptance of modern farming techniques, the improvement of agrochemical products, emerging technologies, and high returns on investment.

    Additionally, growing organic food demand, awareness of the benefits of using agricultural bactericides, and adopting precision farming techniques are the main growth factors for the Agricultural Bactericides Market. Increasing pest populations, disease outbreaks, and food demands are major growth drivers. It is becoming increasingly important to protect crops and ensure food safety. Agrochemicals and crop protection companies have recently innovated their products to meet market demands. This has expected to an increase in the use of agricultural bactericides around the globe. Therefore, such as bactericides ensure good organic crops.

    It has enhanced the agricultural bactericides market CAGR globally in recent years.

    However, to cater to the demand, there have been significant advances in crop improvement. For instance, several introductions of agricultural bactericides implants have been another factor driving the growth of the Agricultural Bactericides market revenue.

    The increasing prevalence of bacterial diseases in crops necessitates the adoption of effective bactericides, which are poised to play a crucial role in enhancing agricultural productivity and sustainability.

This trend is driven by consumer preferences for organic produce and regulatory pressures to minimize chemical usage. As a result, the market is projected to reach 10.7 USD Billion in 2024, reflecting a growing commitment to sustainability. The emphasis on sustainable farming practices is likely to bolster the demand for innovative bactericides that align with these principles, thereby enhancing the market's growth trajectory.

    Market Segment Insights

    Agricultural Bactericides Type Insights

    The Agricultural Bactericides Market segmentation, based on type, includes copper-based bactericides, amide bactericides, dithiocarbamate bactericides, and others. The copper-based agricultural bactericides segment held the majority share in 2022, contributing to around ~35-40% of the Agricultural Bactericides Market revenue. In addition, agriculture has been using copper-based bactericides as foliar treatments to prevent bacterial and fungal diseases for several years. Because of their biocidal activity against many bacteria, copper-based bactericides are considered promising antibacterial agents. As a result, copper-based crop bactericides are predicted to remain in high demand among growers for a long time.

    Agricultural Bactericides Form Insights

    The Agricultural Bactericides Market segmentation, based on form, includes dry and liquid. The liquid segment dominated the market in 2022 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period, 2022-2030. There is a strong expectation that liquid crop bactericide adoption will rise due to the convenience and ease of application offered by liquid crop bactericides. As a result of the ease of shipping and transportation available in solid packages, the markets for crop bactericides are steadily growing. Hence, rising applications of liquid crop bactericides for agricultural bactericides positively impact market growth.

    Agricultural Bactericides Crop Type Insights

    The Agricultural Bactericides Market data has been bifurcated by crop type into fruits & vegetables, cereals & grains, oilseeds & pulses, and others. The fruits & vegetables segment dominated the market in 2022 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period, 2022-2030. Producing fruit and vegetables is greatly decreasing due to the increased bacterial infestations, so fruit and vegetable producers require crop bactericides. Bactericide sales are predicted to increase as fruit and vegetables are high-value crops with high-profit margins. Growth companies always seek efficient crop inputs to boost bactericide sales.

    Recent News:

      • February 2024- The latest study by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) scientists emphasizes the significance of consistently selecting pesticides to be used on food crops to alleviate the increase of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). With a One Health lens, the review investigates how some fungicides, bactericides, and other pesticides take part in the global public health threat of AMR, highlights knowledge gaps, and proposes future work. The utilization of pesticides and other agricultural chemicals can cause AMR in human and plant pathogens. Presently, human infections by bacteria with AMR characteristics trigger nearly 700,000 deaths per year. If left unrestrained, by 2050, it is projected that AMR infections will be responsible for 10 million deaths each year. The utilization of oxytetracycline, streptomycin, copper-based products, and some fungicides is linked with enhanced resistance among plant pathogens to such agents. In addition, the latest increase in the cases of environmental triazole fungicide-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus— the reason for aspergillosis in humans—has led to concern, particularly across Europe.
