The market is anticipated to record a CAGR of 4.0% during the forecast period.
Europe Crop Protection Chemicals Market Trends
To increase the yield of crops and reduce pest infestation, the demand for pesticides is rising
- Europe has a diverse climate due to its geographical position and varying topography. Different parts of Europe have different climatic conditions, which influence the types of crops that can be grown and the pests that can thrive in those areas. In 2022, the average consumption of crop protection chemicals in this region was 38.8 kg per hectare of agricultural land.
- Fungicides were the most widely used type of chemical pesticide in Europe, with an average consumption of 19.4 kg per hectare of agricultural land in the region in 2022. The prevalence of fungal diseases presents a significant risk to all crop types, as they can lead to substantial yield reductions and compromise the overall quality of harvested produce. Consequently, European farmers heavily rely on fungicides to effectively control and manage these diseases.
- In 2022, the herbicide application rate was 11.7 kg per hectare, representing increased herbicide usage per hectare. This rise can be attributed to several factors, including the recognition of herbicide usage as a valuable and economically efficient approach to improve both the quantity and quality of crop yields. The herbicide application rate experienced a growth of 4.02% in 2022 compared to the previous year.
- In 2022, insecticides were the third most commonly used pesticide, with an application rate of 6.9 kg per hectare. Throughout Europe, crops face significant challenges due to pests such as aphids, Colorado beetles, wireworms, and other insects, which cause substantial crop damage and loss. To address these challenges and achieve the best possible yields, insecticides play a vital role in effectively controlling and managing pests.

| Maximum residue levels (MRL) | Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) is the maximum allowed limit of pesticide residue in food or feed obtained from plants and animals. |
| IoT | The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of interconnected devices that connect and exchange data with other IoT devices and the cloud. |
| Herbicide-tolerant varieties (HTVs) | Herbicide-tolerant varieties are plant species that have been genetically engineered to be resistant to herbicides used on crops. |
| Chemigation | Chemigation is a method of applying pesticides to crops through an irrigation system. |
| Crop Protection | Crop protection is a method of protecting crop yields from different pests, including insects, weeds, plant diseases, and others that cause damage to agricultural crops. |
| Seed Treatment | Seed treatment helps to disinfect seeds or seedlings from seed-borne or soil-borne pests. Crop protection chemicals, such as fungicides, insecticides, or nematicides, are commonly used for seed treatment. |
| Fumigation | Fumigation is the application of crop protection chemicals in gaseous form to control pests. |
| Bait | A bait is a food or other material used to lure a pest and kill it through various methods, including poisoning. |
| Contact Fungicide | Contact pesticides prevent crop contamination and combat fungal pathogens. They act on pests (fungi) only when they come in contact with the pests. |
| Systemic Fungicide | A systemic fungicide is a compound taken up by a plant and then translocated within the plant, thus protecting the plant from attack by pathogens. |
| Mass Drug Administration (MDA) | Mass drug administration is the strategy to control or eliminate many neglected tropical diseases. |
| Mollusks | Mollusks are pests that feed on crops, causing crop damage and yield loss. Mollusks include octopi, squid, snails, and slugs. |
| Pre-emergence Herbicide | Preemergence herbicides are a form of chemical weed control that prevents germinated weed seedlings from becoming established. |
| Post-emergence Herbicide | Postemergence herbicides are applied to the agricultural field to control weeds after emergence (germination) of seeds or seedlings. |
| Active Ingredients | Active ingredients are the chemicals in pesticide products that kill, control, or repel pests. |
| United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) | The Department of Agriculture provides leadership on food, agriculture, natural resources, and related issues. |
| Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) | The WSSA, a non-profit professional society, promotes research, education, and extension outreach activities related to weeds. |
| Suspension concentrate | Suspension concentrate (SC) is one of the formulations of crop protection chemicals with solid active ingredients dispersed in water. |
| Wettable powder | A wettable powder (WP) is a powder formulation that forms a suspension when mixed with water prior to spraying. |
| Emulsifiable concentrate | Emulsifiable concentrate (EC) is a concentrated liquid formulation of pesticide that needs to be diluted with water to create a spray solution. |
| Plant-parasitic nematodes | Parasitic Nematodes feed on the roots of crops, causing damage to the roots. These damages allow for easy plant infestation by soil-borne pathogens, which results in crop or yield loss. |
| Australian Weeds Strategy (AWS) | The Australian Weeds Strategy, owned by the Environment and Invasives Committee, provides national guidance on weed management. |
| Weed Science Society of Japan (WSSJ) | WSSJ aims to contribute to the prevention of weed damage and the utilization of weed value by providing the chance for research presentation and information exchange. |
