Diquat Dibromide Global Market Report 2026

Diquat dibromide is a versatile chemical compound serving as a non-selective contact herbicide, algicide, desiccant, and defoliant. With a faint odor, it is utilized as a pesticide for the management of aquatic plants and desalination of water. The primary mechanism of action involves limiting photosynthesis by disrupting the thylakoid membranes in green cells and inhibiting the function of the photosynthetic enzyme.

There are two main types of diquat dibromide, synthetic and bio-based. Synthetic diquat dibromide refers to a chemically synthesized molecule, created artificially. The various crops targeted by diquat dibromide include corn, wheat, cotton, and soybean, and it is available in different forms such as crystalline and liquid. The end-users of diquat dibromide encompass water treatment, agriculture, and other related sectors.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have affected the diquat dibromide market by increasing costs of imported active ingredients and formulation chemicals. The impact is most pronounced in agriculture and water treatment applications, particularly in developing regions. Higher tariffs have influenced pricing and availability for end users. However, tariffs have also encouraged local formulation facilities and regional supply chain development.

This diquat dibromide market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The diquat dibromide market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $8.2 billion in 2025 to $8.63 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to need for non selective herbicides, expansion of irrigation systems, demand for aquatic weed management, agricultural productivity needs, availability of chemical formulations.

The diquat dibromide market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.93 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth of water infrastructure projects, stricter weed control regulations, innovation in safer formulations, demand for efficient crop management, expansion of bio based alternatives. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use in aquatic weed control, rising demand for fast acting herbicides, expansion of water treatment applications, growing regulatory oversight on chemical herbicides, higher adoption in crop desiccation practices.

The growing demand for industrial crops such as sugarcane is expected to drive the growth of the diquat dibromide market in the coming years. Sugarcane is a tall grass species, Saccharum officinarum, native to tropical and warm regions, characterized by strong, jointed stalks and widely cultivated as the primary source of sugar. Diquat is a non-selective herbicide that damages or destroys a broad range of plants upon contact. It is absorbed through plant foliage and causes rapid cellular tissue damage, supporting crop productivity by controlling unwanted vegetation. For example, in December 2024, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), a US-based intergovernmental organization, global sugar crop production increased by 122 million tonnes between 2022 and 2023. Sugarcane accounted for the majority of this output, exceeding 2 billion tonnes in 2023, compared with 281 million tonnes of sugar beet. As a result, rising demand for industrial crops is contributing to the growth of the diquat dibromide market.

The increasing demand for agricultural production is also expected to propel the growth of the diquat dibromide market going forward. Agricultural production includes crop cultivation and livestock rearing for the supply of food, fiber, and other products and involves activities such as soil preparation, planting, harvesting, livestock management, and resource optimization. Diquat dibromide is widely used in agricultural production as an herbicide to control and manage weed growth across various crops. For instance, in June 2024, according to the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, a UK-based government department, potatoes recorded the highest value increase among crop items in 2023, rising by £237 million ($296.25 million), or 30.8%, compared with 2022, reaching a total value of £1,005 million ($1.26 billion). Therefore, the growing demand for agricultural production is supporting the expansion of the diquat dibromide market.

Rising soil contamination is further expected to drive the growth of the diquat dibromide market in the coming years. Soil contamination refers to the presence of harmful pollutants in soil at concentrations that reduce soil functionality, productivity, and ecological balance. The increase in soil contamination is linked to the growing number of polluted and degraded land areas that require effective vegetation and weed management to restore usability. Diquat dibromide supports soil management efforts by efficiently controlling unwanted vegetation and aquatic weeds on contaminated or degraded lands, aiding land rehabilitation and limiting the spread of invasive plant species that can exacerbate soil degradation. For example, in July 2023, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), a Switzerland-based organization, approximately 2.8 million land sites across the European Environment Agency region were potentially affected by pollution and required environmental intervention. Consequently, rising soil contamination is contributing to the growth of the diquat dibromide market.
