Glyphosate Market Report 2026

The glyphosate market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $11.8 billion in 2025 to $12.91 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of commercial agriculture practices, growth in herbicide-tolerant crop cultivation, rising demand for high-yield farming, availability of large-scale spraying equipment, increasing weed resistance challenges.

The glyphosate market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $18.13 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing regulatory scrutiny on agrochemicals, rising adoption of integrated weed management, expansion of precision farming technologies, growing focus on sustainable crop protection practices, increasing demand for alternative formulations. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of broad-spectrum herbicides, rising use in genetically modified crops, growing demand for efficient weed management solutions, expansion of precision agriculture spraying, enhanced focus on cost-effective crop protection.

The increasing population and demand for food are propelling the growth of the glyphosate market. This global need for sustainable agricultural solutions is highlighted by the increasing population and demand for food. Glyphosate, a key component in modern agriculture, plays a crucial role in meeting the rising demand for food by enhancing crop yields and ensuring efficient weed control, contributing to the overall goal of supporting a burgeoning population. For instance, in December 2023, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, the largest statistical agency in the federal government, the U.S. witnessed a population increase of 1.6 million people, marking a 0.5% growth in 2023, signaling a rebound from the pandemic-induced slowdown. This resurgence in population growth underscores a rising demand for food resources across the nation. Therefore, the increasing population and demand for food drive the glyphosate market.

Major companies operating in the glyphosate market are focusing on product innovation, such as advanced herbicide-tolerant glyphosate trait technology designed to deliver enhanced weed control and a wider window compared to first-generation glyphosate trait technology. Herbicide-tolerant glyphosate trait technology refers to a genetic trait incorporated into crops that imparts resistance or tolerance to the herbicide glyphosate. For instance, in February 2023, Corteva Agriscience, a US-based global agriculture company, launched Optimum GLY canola, an advanced herbicide-tolerant trait technology for canola. This launch boasts proprietary glyphosate traits, ensuring enhanced weed control, a wider application window, and increased flexibility for farmers. This advanced product contributes to the glyphosate market by providing farmers with innovative solutions for effective and responsible weed management, reinforcing Corteva Agriscience's commitment to delivering cutting-edge technologies to the agricultural sector.

In March 2023, Albaugh, an US-based crop protection company that develops, produces, and markets products and services, acquired Corteva Agriscience for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Albaugh to enhance its product offerings and provide farmers with a broader range of effective solutions for weed management. Corteva Agriscience is a US-based company, manufactures a wide range of agricultural products, including crop protection chemicals such as glyphosate.
