Crop Protection Market to Reach $241 Billion by 2035

Crop Protection Market is valued at approximately $89.5 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach nearly $133.3 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 4.1% during the forecast period. Rising global food demand is a major structural driver. According to the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), global food production must increase by nearly 60% by 2050 to feed a population expected to surpass 9.7 billion. This rising pressure on agricultural productivity is directly accelerating demand for advanced crop protection solutions to reduce yield losses caused by pests, weeds, and diseases, which currently account for up to 20–40% of global crop losses as reported by FAO.

Among product types, fungicides are emerging as the fastest-growing segment due to increasing fungal resistance and climate-driven disease outbreaks affecting cereals, fruits, and vegetables. Changing rainfall patterns and rising global temperatures are expanding fungal infection zones, particularly in the Asia-Pacific and Latin America, thereby increasing the adoption of systemic and bio-based fungicides. Additionally, regulatory pressure from organisations such as the European Commission is pushing the transition toward safer and more sustainable chemical usage, further supporting biopesticide innovation. Several strategic developments have further strengthened the market landscape. Key industry developments include:

• In April 2026, Syngenta announced the global launch of its new selective herbicide VIRESTINA™ technology to control resistant grass weeds in major crops such as soybean and cotton, with Argentina being the first country to grant registration approval, and plans to expand into Brazil, Australia, the U.S., and Canada.

• In March 2026, BASF Agricultural Solutions completed its acquisition of AgBiTech, expanding its portfolio of biological insect control solutions. The move strengthens BASF’s biologicals offerings and supports broader adoption of sustainable crop protection technologies globally.

Additionally, the dominance of herbicides continues to remain strong due to widespread weed resistance issues, particularly in major grain-producing regions such as North America and the Asia-Pacific. According to the OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook, global cereal production is projected to increase steadily through 2030, further reinforcing herbicide demand to protect large-scale mechanised farming systems. The increasing integration of precision agriculture technologies, supported by data-driven farming techniques and IoT-based spraying systems, is reshaping application efficiency and reducing chemical overuse. Government initiatives promoting sustainable agriculture in regions such as the EU under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) are further accelerating the adoption of integrated crop protection solutions.
