Glyphosate Global Market Report 2024

The glyphosate market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $10.06 billion in 2023 to $10.99 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The increase during the historical period can be credited to the introduction of genetically modified (GM) crops, the augmentation of agricultural productivity, the surge in no-till farming practices, the global expansion of agriculture, and the cost-effectiveness and versatility of these practices.

The glyphosate market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $15.48 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be ascribed to the emergence of alternative weed control methods, stringent regulations and environmental concerns, increased adoption of precision agriculture, the shift towards sustainable agriculture, and heightened public awareness and consumer preferences. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass technological advancements in herbicides, the ongoing shift towards sustainable agriculture, the implementation of resistance management strategies, the increasing adoption of genetically modified (GM) crops, and regulatory scrutiny leading to potential bans.

The glyphosate market is poised for growth due to the increasing demand for fertilizers. The global population's growing demand for food, water, and agricultural products has led farmers to adopt modern agricultural methods, including the use of fertilizers. The Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that global demand for fertilizer nutrients will reach 200,919 tonnes by the end of 2022. Consequently, the escalating demand for fertilizers is a driving force behind the glyphosate market.

The growth of the glyphosate market is propelled by the increasing population and demand for food. Glyphosate, a key component in modern agriculture, enhances crop yields and ensures efficient weed control, addressing the rising demand for food. In December 2023, the U.S. Census Bureau reported a population increase of 1.6 million people in the U.S., signaling a 0.5% growth in 2023. This population growth underscores the global need for sustainable agricultural solutions, driving the glyphosate market.

Major companies are adopting a strategic partnerships approach to invest in innovative solutions and expand market options for farmers. In August 2022, Corteva Agriscience partnered with BASF SE to develop future herbicide-tolerant soybeans and complementary herbicides for farmers in North America and beyond. This collaboration includes traits conferring tolerance to BASF's Liberty and PPO inhibiting herbicides, as well as Corteva's Enlist herbicides, glyphosate, and a novel herbicide mode of action currently in development at BASF.

Major companies are focusing on product innovation, particularly advanced herbicide-tolerant glyphosate trait technology designed to provide enhanced weed control and a wider application window. Herbicide-tolerant glyphosate trait technology involves incorporating genetic traits into crops to impart resistance or tolerance to the herbicide glyphosate. For instance, in February 2023, Corteva Agriscience, a US-based global agriculture company, launched Optimum GLY canola, featuring advanced herbicide-tolerant trait technology for canola. This product boasts proprietary glyphosate traits, ensuring improved weed control, a broader application window, and increased flexibility for farmers.

In May 2021, ADAMA Agricultural Solutions Ltd., a crop protection company headquartered in Israel, acquired a 51% stake in Jiangsu Huifeng Bio Agriculture Co., Ltd., a chemical manufacturing company based in China, for RMB 1,224 million ($0.192 billion). This strategic move provides ADAMA access to backward-integrated and competitive positions in key global molecules, poised to drive significant growth through ADAMA's worldwide market reach. Jiangsu Huifeng Bio Agriculture Co. Ltd., established in 1989, operates in Jiangsu, China.

Glyphosate predominantly impacts both genetically modified crops and conventional crops. Genetically modified crops refer to plants in which DNA is inserted into the organism's genome. Conventional crops, on the other hand, involve the use of pesticides and other chemicals to achieve the highest possible yield. Glyphosates are employed in various types of crops, including grains and cereals, pulses and oilseeds, fruits and vegetables, commercial crops, and others.
