After the USA, Japan, and China, India is currently the fourth-largest producer of agrochemicals. The global agrochemicals market is expected to reach USD 281.88 billion in 2028. The agrochemicals industry has also witnessed the emergence of bio-fertilisers as a favourable alternative to chemical-based pesticides and fertilisers.
Between 2021 and 2030, the global agrochemicals market is expected to increase at a CAGR of 2.9%, improving from USD 231.0 billion in 2021-22 to USD 315.3 billion in 2030. Production of agrochemicals (technical grade) has also increased by 11.9% during FY22.
Asia-Pacific region has the largest market share of agrochemicals, owing to a large consumer base and the presence of major businesses in the region. APAC region is pre-dominant market for top specialised chemical users: - India, China, and Japan. Rapid urbanisation, gradual rise in discretionary incomes, and expanding industrialisation of the food, agricultural, cosmetics, textile, electronics, and other manufacturing sectors in APAC have led to increase in demand for speciality chemicals producers & export of the product has increased.
India is currently at a food surplus stage with rising production in food grains & horticulture. In fact, it is second largest food grain producer in the world after China. The Indian market for agrochemicals is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.6% by 2026 to reach a value of almost USD 7.4 billion by 2026. In terms of trade India is the major importer & exporter of Agrochemicals. The agrochemical market in India accounts for 15% of the global market.
India based agrochemical firms are launching innovative and world class products. The industry is also working their recognised & pending patents which will help them in providing innovative products. Furthermore, the exports are progressing in Southern America & European region, and it’s adopting a multi-pronged approach by becoming globally competitive, with the introduction of PLI Scheme as well as Make in India approach.
India’s agrochemical consumption is one of the lowest in the world with per hectare consumption being just 0.6 kgs as compared to other countries. With the increase in awareness and market penetration, consumption is likely to improve in the near future. The agrochemicals industry is expected to play a pivotal role in attaining food security for a populous country like India. With dwindling land under cultivation and a lower portion of that under irrigation, the need to increase farm productivity with efficient use of plant nutrients and protection is the need of the hour. Use of agrochemicals can increase crop productivity by 25%-50%, by mitigating crop loss caused due to pest attacks. In the next few years, Indian agrochemicals market will be driven by the growth in herbicides and fungicide.
Nitrogenous fertiliser is leading most of the market with its outrageous demand. Insecticides are currently the most popular pesticides, followed by fungicides and herbicides; insecticide demand is said to account for 65 percent of the total pesticide industry.
Agrochemicals are extensively used for crops such as cereals, grains, oilseeds, and vegetables, along with non-crop-based applications. The majority of agrochemicals are used for staple food crops like wheat, rice, and maize, as well as cash crops like cotton and soya bean.

The heavy investment on new technologies & change in orthodox approach of farming has brought a paradigm shift in agro based industries. Indofil too adapted the change & rose in tandem with demand coming from agro as well as other industries (cosmetic, textile, plastic) for specialised chemical. Additionally, FDI-inflows has been relaxed, and with availability of surplus work force, it will be easier for the firm to grow gradually. Owing to the low level of agrochemical consumption, the industry has vast untapped potential. New registrations and strategic partnerships across the globe is expected to be a vital part of Indofil’s international expansion strategy, going forward.
