Abstract
US demand to approach $10 billion in 2016
US demand for formulated pesticide products is expected to approach $10
billion in 2016 as the markets address increasingly resistant pest populations
and growing concerns about pesticide safety. In response to these problems,
technical grade pesticide active ingredient usage is projected to reach 960
million pounds.
Environmentally friendly practices to change market
Both insecticides and herbicides will be affected by industry-wide changes
influenced by integrated pest management, biopesticides, and other
environmentally friendly techniques. Biopesticides are expected to show strong
growth, particularly in the consumer market as home gardening enthusiasts turn
to Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) and other biopesticide products. Integrated
pest management IPM) techniques are causing users in all markets to alter
their pesticide use, choosing to use non-chemical alternatives whenever
possible.
Glyphosate resistance to continue driving herbicides
Herbicides are the most widely used type of pesticide in the United States,
but in recent years they have been dominated by a single active ingredient:
glyphosate. Glyphosate-tolerant soybean and corn acreage expanded
significantly over the past decade, with growers becoming more dependent on
the nonselective herbicide that destroys weeds but leaves crops intact.
However, with glyphosate resistance in weeds becoming a bigger problem,
growers are looking for new solutions in older products, such as 2,4- D,
atrazine, and dicamba. Demand for these older herbicides will increase as
users turn to formulations with more than one active ingredient and multiple
modes of action. Additionally, producers are developing and releasing new seed
varieties that have resistance to more than one herbicide; these new seeds can
be used with proprietary formulations tailored to be effective for certain
crops in specific environments.
Insecticides affected by environmental concerns
Insecticides are a mature and slow growing product class. In agriculture, they
are largely used on an as-needed basis, given that insect populations are
largely influenced by weather conditions. The consumer and commercial markets
are more significant for insecticides than for herbicides, based on demand for
ready-to-use consumer insecticides and professional pest extermination
services. Insecticides are also associated with more concerns related to
environmental safety and public health. Negative publicity can have a
significant impact on some types of insecticides. For example, organophosphate
demand continues to drop due to concerns over potential adverse effects. In
addition, neonicotinoid insecticides, one of the leading replacements for
organophosphates, may have been implicated in the increase of honeybee colony
collapse. Demand for insecticides will continue to be impacted by changing
insect management practices, amid environmental and human health concerns.
The US pesticide industry continues to evolve as imports from China and other
countries become more important. Chinese producers have become bigger players
in the US market as their generic active ingredients are often less expensive
than domestic active ingredients. Additionally, Chinese producers have been
shifting their focus to formulated products, making them a more significant
part of the US pesticide industry.
