The soil active herbicides market is estimated to be valued at USD 7.30 Bn in 2024, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4% from 2024 to 2031. Soil active herbicides are crop protection chemicals applied to soils before or during planting to control weed growth. They work by inhibiting the growth of undesired plant species through various modes of action like disrupting amino acid production, photosynthesis, or cell division. Being applied directly to soils, these herbicides are absorbed by weed seedlings through their root systems and hydrolyze into phytotoxic chemicals harming them selectively. The global soil active herbicides market is driven by the rising demand for higher agricultural productivity and the need to minimize post-emergence manual weeding which is a labor-intensive process.
Market Dynamics:
The global soil active herbicides market is primarily driven by the rising demand for food due to the growing world population which is exerting pressure on farmers to increase agricultural yields. Soil active herbicides help boost crop yields by controlling weeds which compete with crops for water, nutrients, and sunlight. Their application reduces the need for manual weeding and allows the cultivation of high-value crops with narrow rows. However, factors such as stringent regulatory norms pertaining to product registrations and maximum residue limits of active ingredients in food crops act as a restraint. Meanwhile, the development of bio-based and eco-friendly soil herbicides presents an opportunity for sustainable weed management in agriculture.
