Summary:

This report is the third in a set of three investigating the current state of the generic pesticide industry and market. This first report contains profiles of 100 of the most important generic pesticide companies in the world today. The second report contains profiles of 100 of the most important generic pesticide ais. The third report provides a detailed analysis of the generic pesticide market and industry, and explores the forces that will drive the development of the generic pesticide industry over the next few years. These three reports are updated editions of reports on the generic pesticide industry that Agrow published first in 1998 and then, as new editions, in 2001 and 2005. This third report contains an analysis of the generic pesticide market and industry, building on the information presented in the first two reports. It includes a complete update on significant changes in the global market since the previous publication in 2005. It provides a review of the major national generic pesticide markets and a discussion of the various business strategies adopted by generic pesticide companies, both in terms of competing with each other and with the major R&D-based agrochemical companies. The report also contains an analysis of the ways in which the major agrochemical companies try to maintain their market share after an ai has come off-patent, including finding ways to delay the manufacture of the ai by generic pesticide companies. The report also contains a review of future generic pesticide targets. The report explores the current and future forces driving the development of the generic pesticide industry. Such forces include: the consolidation of the agrochemical industry and the associated divestment of pesticide products and businesses; patent issues, especially data protection; ai re-registration initiatives in the EU and US, and the forced withdrawal of certain generic ais in these markets; and the efforts of industry associations.
