Pyroxasulfone Granule Market Global Report 2026

The pyroxasulfone granule market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.25 billion in 2025 to $1.35 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of cereal and oilseed cultivation areas, increasing prevalence of invasive grass weeds, rising mechanization in agriculture, growth in agrochemical distribution networks, adoption of chemical weed control over manual weeding.

The pyroxasulfone granule market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.91 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing need for sustainable weed resistance management, expansion of precision agriculture practices in crop protection, rising regulatory pressure on conventional herbicides, increasing demand for high-efficiency pre-emergent solutions, climate change driven weed population shifts. Major trends in the forecast period include resistance development in weed species against pre-emergent herbicides, increased adoption of residual weed control solutions in row crops, growing use of combination herbicide formulations for broader spectrum control, shift toward integrated weed management practices in large-scale farming, rising demand for long-lasting soil active herbicide performance in variable climate conditions.

The rising agricultural productivity is expected to drive the growth of the pyroxasulfone granule market going forward. Agricultural productivity refers to the efficiency of producing agricultural outputs such as crops relative to inputs like land, labor, and capital. Agricultural productivity is increasing due to the adoption of advanced farming technologies that enhance efficiency and enable higher output from the same land and resources. Pyroxasulfone granules support agricultural productivity by improving weed control efficiency, enhancing crop yields, and ensuring better utilization of agricultural inputs in modern farming practices. For instance, in December 2024, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, an Italy-based agency, global production of primary crops reached 9.9 billion tonnes in 2023, increasing by 3 percent since 2022. Therefore, increasing agricultural productivity is driving the growth of the pyroxasulfone granule market.

Leading operating in the pyroxasulfone granule market are focusing on developing advanced herbicide solutions such as all-in-one standards for post-emergence weed control to improve pre-emergence weed control, enhance crop safety, and optimize agricultural productivity. An all-in-one post-emergence weed control solution is a single herbicide designed to eliminate weeds after they have sprouted and integrates multiple modes of action to deliver broad-spectrum effectiveness while reducing the need for additional applications. For example, in March 2026, BASF SE, a Germany-based chemical producer, announced Ridivex herbicide, a convenient all-in-one premix of three active ingredients with three different sites of action. It includes pyroxasulfone as one of its key active ingredients. The formulation combines three modes of action, enabling both strong post-emergence weed control and extended residual activity for up to several weeks, helping farmers manage resistant weed populations and protect crop yield potential more effectively.

In September 2023, Best Agrolife Limited, an India-based agrochemical company, partnered with Syngenta AG to commercialize pyroxasulfone-based herbicide formulations in India by leveraging advanced pre-emergence weed control technologies. The collaboration aims to enhance product accessibility and improve weed management efficiency. It also strengthens their market presence in the crop protection sector. Syngenta AG is a Switzerland-based agrochemical technology company that provides pyroxasulfone granule formulations (WG type) through branded herbicides such as Movondo.
