The Global Agricultural Antibacterials Market was valued at USD 9.73 billion in 2017 and is expected to register a CAGR of 3.9% during the forecast period (2018-2023). Europe is one of the largest regions contributing the agricultural antibacterials market. Italy and France are the major countries accounting for large market share in Europe.
Antibacterials in Agriculture are also known as antibiotics which are used to eradicate the diseases caused by bacterial infections in plants. The major categories of antibacterials types available in the market are copper based, dithiocarbamate, amide, antibiotic and others. These antibacterials are applicable to different crop types like cereals & grains, oilseeds & pulses, fruits & vegetables. Foliar spray, soil treatment are the modes of applications. The agricultural antibacterial market is segmented on the basis of form into liquid, liquid dispersible granules, wettable powders.
Cereals & grains has the huge potential to be the fastest growing segment as this segment constitutes for the major consumption compared to other crop types. Most of the population globally, depends on the cereals & grains for their food as they are rich in carbohydrates, fiber and other nutritional contents. The grains & cereals include the crops like corn, rice, wheat, oats, barley rye and other crops. These help in eradicating chronic diseases, when included as a part of diet. As the consumption is more, the production of cereals & grains is also huge which is increasing the consumption of agricultural antibacterial products, reflecting in the fastest growth of antibacterials for cereals & grains.
The diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria are increasing as they are contagious. During the process of attack, plant pathogenic bacteria shows different symptoms to plant like galls, wilts, overgrowth, leaf spots, specks, blights, cankers, soft rots, scabs. The plants affected by bacteria are resulting in low yield, inefficient crops. The crop obtained from the plant which are affected from bacteria are low in quality and quantity. It effects the expectation of farmer as they face loses due to the improper crop. Increasing health consciousness globally, reflects in avoiding the consumption of disease effected crops. The consequences due to plant bacterial diseases has increased the market for antibacterials in agriculture. The antibacterials helps in eradicating the occurrence and transforming of diseases and provides antibiotics to fight against the disease causing bacteria. Therefore, the increasing bacterial infections in crops has increased the market for antibacterials.
The major restraint for agricultural antibacterial market is the increasing levels of toxicology levels in environment. The usage of different types of antibacterials in agriculture causes many phototoxic effects like yellowing of leaf margin, patches on leaves, distortion of new leaves. The high usage of antibacterials effects the organisms present in soil which results in improper supply of essential nutrients to plants and they also effect aquatic animals when they are present in water in large quantities. The environmental toxicology is increasing as the antibacterials used are present in water, soil, plants. It results in degrading the environment and the health of animals, humans as they are rich in antibacterials which poses negative effect.
