Market Trends of Agricultural Disinfectants Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Agricultural Disinfectants Market according to our research experts:
Growing Area Under Protected Cultivation
Various systems of protected cultivation, such as indoor farming, vertical farming, and hydroponics, also reduce biotic stresses on crops, such as attacks by pests and pathogens. Thus, protected cultivation has provided benefits such as crops with little or no pesticide residues. While the susceptibility of crops attacked by pathogens is minimal in protected cultivation, maintaining the protected cultivation facility to be free from pathogens borne from the construction material and equipment has become necessary to have 100% pest and pathogen control. Disinfectants are essential in sanitizing the protected cultivation facilities and equipment in the pre-planting stage to enable the crop to be free of pests and pathogens in its growth stage. The increased area under protected cultivation globally is expected to positively influence the market's growth.
Asia-Pacific Dominates the Overall Market
Asia-Pacific emerged as the region with the highest share in the overall agricultural disinfectants market. The increased production of livestock and the growth in the number of livestock farms, coupled with the increased penetration of protected cultivation, are driving the market for agricultural disinfectants in Asia-Pacific. Challenges, such as lack of awareness about scientific disinfection practices in agricultural remains and the sheer growth of the end-user industries, are expected to drive the market in the region over the forecast period.
