Published 23 September 2025

Plant Pesticide Market Overview:

The Plant Pesticide Market is a cornerstone of modern agriculture, ensuring food security and supporting crop productivity as global populations continue to rise. The Plant Pesticide Market was valued at 61.8 Billion USD in 2024 and is projected to rise from 62.9 Billion USD in 2025 to approximately 75 Billion USD by 2035. The market is anticipated to register a steady growth rate with a CAGR of around 1.8% throughout the forecast period (2025–2035).

Market Drivers and Trends

Key market drivers include the imperative for food security, increasing demand for higher agricultural productivity, and continued urbanization leading to constrained arable land. Pesticides—including herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, nematicides, and adjuvants—are essential for maximizing yields and safeguarding global food supplies, especially as climate change and pest resistance intensify production challenges.

Growing consumer and regulatory focus on sustainability and health has accelerated demand for organic and bio-pesticides. This trend is most pronounced in regions adopting integrated pest management and eco-friendly farming. The expansion of organic agriculture is fostering innovation in new plant-based and naturally derived pesticide formulations, catering to producers aiming for chemical-free farming yet requiring robust pest control.

Advancements in biotech and digital agriculture are enabling precision application strategies that reduce pesticide waste, minimize environmental impact, and increase the efficacy of crop protection products.
