Crop protectants are the chemicals sprayed on crops to save them from drastic damage. Generally known as pesticides or agricultural chemicals, it is used extensively in traditional farming, to protect the plants against pests. The recent addition of Bonafide Research, under the title of- Global Insecticides Market Outlook, 2026, gives a brief of the market, segmented by product type, by application, and by country. The segmental analyses have been detailed into Cereals & grains, Oilseeds & pulses, fruits & vegetables, and others based on the terms of application, the market is classified. These segments are analyzed country-wise and the report also covers a detailed discussion about the trends, rules, and regulations across the world.
True to its name, insecticides are used to kill insects. A major part of agricultural productivity in the 20th century can be attributed to the use of insecticides. No matter how productive this has been, the chemicals are toxic in nature and get absorbed and spread across the food chain. The global insecticides market recorded a historic growth rate of 1.68% in 2015-2020. The use of insecticides has declined the cost of farming and also increased the quality yield by nearly double what was produced otherwise.
Even though there is a high environmental risk associated with the use of chemical-based insecticides, they have played an important role in improving the health of humans as well as cattle by reducing the spread of infectious diseases like malaria, typhus, etc. right from the early stage of crop cultivation itself. With such advantages, the overall market is likely to cross a value of USD 18000 Million by the end of the forecasted period.
In terms of application, the market is led by the fruits and vegetable segment, which is held to a little higher than 45%. Any cultivated crop is at a threat of nearly more than 10000 plant-eating insect species, and the threat even can continue to create damage in the storage. This is why the use of insecticides has inclined in modern farming and is likely to stay in demand, despite its environmental and human damages. Apart from fruits & vegetables, which easily attract insects, major crops like rice, wheat & corn are also treated with insecticides. Considering the global market, the overall production of cereals & grains are inclining due to the increasing consumption which has given a hike in the demand for more effective insecticides.
Asian countries like China & India are highly dependent on agriculture, which makes the region the market leader of the insecticides market. Many of the countries in this region don’t have strict regulations regarding the usage of pesticides which adds more potential to the market. Apart from this, the region has a huge diversity in the plantation as well as climatic variations, which aids the increasing use of insecticides. This has encouraged many global players to establish their manufacturing base in this leading region too.
One of the recent most recent trends in the crop insecticide market is the use of foliar spray which makes the application easier and highly effective. This spraying technique involves spraying the liquid chemical directly to the leaves and is considered an effective way to safeguard from insect attacks. Apart from this, the technique is beneficial for the environment as it limits the absorption of the chemical by the roots & soil.
