Agricultural Pesticides: United States

Report Overview

This report forecasts to 2030 US agricultural pesticides demand in nominal US dollars at the manufacturer level. Total demand is segmented by product in terms of herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, other pesticides such as fumigants, defoliants, and rodenticides

To illustrate historical trends, total demand and the various segments are provided in annual series from 2019 to 2025.

Pesticides are substances, generally chemicals, used to control pests including weeds, insects (including adults, larva, and eggs), fungi, worms, rodents, mites, ticks, bacteria, snails and slugs, and algae. Pesticides work by destroying pests via ingestion (poisoning), contact or disease, or by interfering with their reproductive cycle and/or physical functioning and development. Also included in the scope of this report are repellants, which instead of killing pests, are designed to repel or discourage their presence. The scope of this report encompasses the agricultural market for pesticides, including all pesticides used in the production of crops for sale or on pastures for raising livestock for sale.

Excluded from coverage in this report are bulk commodities such as sulfur and petroleum oils; wood preservatives; disinfectants and antimicrobials – which are often regulated as pesticides; commercial (including floriculture) and consumer (including home edible gardening)

Unless otherwise specified, data are for formulated pesticide products (i.e., the first level of formulation after the production of technical-grade pesticide active ingredients).

Key macroeconomic indicators are also provided with quantified trends. Other various topics, including profiles of pertinent leading companies, are covered in this report. A full outline of report items by page is available in the Table of Contents.
