Pyrethroids Market Report 2026

The pyrethroids market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.04 billion in 2025 to $4.28 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of agricultural crop production, rising incidence of pest infestations, growth of public health insect control programs, increasing demand for effective insecticides, availability of synthetic pyrethroid formulations.

The pyrethroids market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.41 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of integrated pest management practices, rising demand for low-toxicity insecticides, expansion of vector control initiatives, growing focus on resistance management strategies, increasing regulatory compliance requirements. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of broad-spectrum insecticides, rising use in crop protection programs, growing demand for public health vector control, expansion of household pest control applications, enhanced focus on target-specific formulations.

The rising incidence of vector-borne diseases is expected to drive the growth of the pyrethroid market. Vector-borne diseases are illnesses caused by pathogens and parasites transmitted to humans through bites from infected arthropods, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. Factors such as climate change, which expands the habitats of mosquitoes and ticks, along with urbanization, deforestation, and increased human-animal interactions, contribute to the spread of these diseases. Pyrethroids, as synthetic insecticides, are widely used to control mosquito and tick populations responsible for transmitting these illnesses. For example, in December 2023, according to GOV.UK, a UK-based public sector information platform, 2,004 malaria cases were confirmed in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland in 2023 following travel abroad, compared to 1,369 in 2022. Therefore, the rising incidence of vector-borne diseases is propelling the pyrethroid market.

The increasing food demands of a growing global population are also expected to support the growth of the pyrethroids market. Rising food demand refers to the need for greater food production to meet the requirements of an expanding population. Pyrethroids help ensure higher crop yields by controlling insect infestations, contributing to food security and meeting the demand for increased agricultural productivity. For instance, in January 2024, the United States Department of Agriculture reported that in 2023, food expenditures accounted for an average of 12.9% of U.S. household spending, slightly up from 12.8% in 2022. Thus, rising food demand is driving the pyrethroids market.

Major companies in the pyrethroids market are focusing on product innovations to improve pest management efficiency and sustainability in agriculture. Pyrethroids are synthetic chemical compounds widely used to control various crop pests. For example, in August 2023, Albaugh LLC, an Ankeny-based chemical manufacturer, launched Afiado, a soybean insecticide combining acetamiprid and bifenthrin. The product is designed to control soybean stinkbugs, a challenging pest in Brazil. By integrating a pyrethroid with a broad-spectrum insecticide, Afiado provides an effective solution for protecting soybean yields, demonstrating Albaugh’s commitment to agricultural innovation and sustainable crop protection.

Major companies operating in the pyrethroids market are Bayer AG, Syngenta AG, FMC Corporation, Sumitomo Chemical, BASF SE, Corteva Agriscience, UPL Limited, Nufarm Limited, Gharda Chemicals, Tagros Chemicals, Heranba Industries, PI Industries, Nissan Chemical, Albaugh LLC, Insecticides India Limited, Dhanuka Agritech, Meghmani Organics, Bharat Rasayan, Coromandel International, Jiangsu Yangnong Chemical, Sharda Cropchem.
