Crop Bactericides Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Mode of Application (Foliar, Soil), By Type (Copper-based, Dithiocarbamate, Amide, Others), By Formulation (Liquid, Solid), By Crop Type (Fruits & Vegetables, Cereals, Oilseed & Pulses, Others) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The usage of crop bactericides in agriculture has enormously helped to improve yield quality and prevent crop-losses. Bactericides contain active ingredients that help in the eradication of harmful bacteria from crop, while not damaging the essential good bacteria. The application of bactericides averts or lessens damage caused by bacteria to agricultural crops. Bactericides used in modern agriculture practices had a crucial part in the development of society by improving crop yields and quality.

The prominent players operating in the market are focused on strategic collaboration, product launches, and research and development of innovative crop bactericides which can be less toxic to environment and human health, more efficient and more biodegradable & biocompatible than other chemical-based bactericides.

The rapidly escalating population has proliferated the demand for food which is predicted to boost the sale of crop protection products including crop bactericides. The increase of crop production coupled with stringent requirements on food security has enlarged the demand of novel and biodegradable crop bactericides. Agriculture crop diseases caused by bacteria are very problematic to control, specifically when a bacterium like Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus resides in the phloem of the plant vascular system, and limited crop bactericides are available to treat this particular bacterial disease. Therefore, the on-going research and development for novel and efficient crop bactericides is predicted to be a favorable factor for market growth.

Strict government rules and regulations regarding the launch of new crop bactericides and their commercial applications due to detrimental effect of overdose of crop bactericide are predicted to restrain the market growth.

Key Players Covered:

The prominent players operating in the global crop bactericides market are BASF SE, FMC Corporation, American Vanguard Corporation, Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd, PI Industries. Bayer CropScience AG, Syngenta AG, Nippon Soda Co., Ltd,  Dow AgroSciences LLC, Nufarm Limited, and Others.

Foliar application of crop bactericides is predicted to hold prominent share in the global market of crop bactericides. Foliar spray is widely accepted application method due to the ease in application and handling, which is expected to boost the sale of crop bactericides for foliar application. Moreover, the demand for soil treatment is also growing owing to rising application of crop nutrition enhancers including crop bactericides. The increase in crop-losses due to pest attacks is predicted to upsurge the utilization of crop bactericides.

The copper-based crop bactericides are predicted to hold significant share in the global crop bactericides market. The copper-based bactericide has been used in agriculture for several years as a foliar treatment to protect crops from bacterial and fungal diseases. Copper-based bactericides are considered as promising antibacterial agent owing to their strong biocidal effect against various bacteria. Therefore, the demand for copper-based crop bactericides is predicted to remain high among growers.

The demand for liquid formulation of crop bactericide is increasing in developed as well as developing regions. The convenience and ease of application offered by liquid crop bactericides is predicted to be a favorable factor for rising adoption of liquid crop bactericides. Moreover, the markets for solid form of crop bactericides are steadily growing because of ease in shipping and transportation in the form of solid packages.

Crop bactericides are extensively utilize for the protection of fruits and vegetables from the pest attack. With the rising bacterial infestations in fruits and vegetables the yield production is tremendously decreasing, therefore the demand for crop bactericides is increasing from fruit and vegetable producers. Fruits and vegetables are high-value crop and the profit margins for these crops are high, thus growers are always looking for efficient crop an input, which is predicted to boost the sale of bactericides. The rising industrial importance of cereals is predicted to further propel the market growth amidst cereal producers.

Regional Analysis:

Asia Pacific is predicted to hold significant share in the global crop bactericide market owing to increasing adoption of crop nutrient to achieve the optimum yield from agriculture crops. With tremendously increasing population and upsurge in the need for food security the growers are more inclined towards efficient crop protection products to reduce the crop-losses which is expected to drive the crop bactericides market within the region. 

North America is expected to grow at significant pace in the global market of crop bactericides. The escalating adoption of modern agriculture techniques and practices and increasing practices of integrated pest management are expected to drive the North America crop bactericides market. The intensifying demand for quality crops, coupled with the rise in agricultural practices are predicted to boost the sale of crop nutrients including bactericides.
