Escalating Need for Food to Fuel Higher Demand for Herbicides, Reports TMR

The competitive landscape of the global herbicides market is characterized by its fragmented structure. In 2014, the top five players, namely, Syngenta AG, BASF SE, Bayer CropScience AG, Dow AgroSciences LLC, and ADAMA Agricultural Solutions Ltd. held just about 53% of the overall market, finds a report by Transparency Market Research (TMR). 

The leading herbicide producers demonstrate a high degree of integration, which has strengthened their position in this market. However, the shifting focus of players towards increasing their reach through mergers and acquisitions is likely to alter the current scenario in the years to come. Besides, the dynamics of this market are also expected to be affected in the near future due accelerating competition, fueled by the increase in research and development activities.

Need for Enhanced Crop Yields to Create Demand for Herbicides
“The continual rise in the global population base has created a massive need for food, specifically in highly dense economies such as India, China, and several countries in Africa. The low crop yield, caused by limited availability of arable land, rapid depletion of soil water, fluctuating climatic conditions, and frequent pest attacks, has worsened the situation across the world,” states an analyst.


Farmers and agriculturists are increasingly utilizing herbicides to enhance the productivity as well as the quality of crops. As a result, the demand for herbicides has soared significantly across the world. Apart from this, the rising demand for genetically modified crops, due to their nutritional value and good quality, has also increased the application of herbicides in the recent time, leading to growth in their demand. 

Increasing Trend of Organic Agriculture to Curb Application of Herbicides
The trend of organic agriculture has slowed down the demand for herbicides, as, this form of agriculture relies on biological pest control, compost, crop rotation for the enhancement in crop yields. A number of countries, which have plenty of agricultural land, have started following organic agriculture standards in order to improve the global sustainability and enhance the profit margin through cultivation, which, in turn, is limiting the application of herbicides to some extent.

In the near future, the adoption of organic agriculture and, consequently, biopesticides is anticipated to witness a healthy rise, which is likely to further impede the demand for herbicides. However, the increase in research and development activities, triggered by the growing awareness about the toxicity of herbicides and the ban on their usage by various environmental protection agencies, is expected to create opportunities for product innovation in this market over the next few years.

Demand for Herbicides to Remain Strongest in Asia Pacific
TMR estimates the global market for herbicides, which was worth US$22.3 bn in 2014, will rise at a CAGR of 6.20% during the period from 2015 to 2023 and attain a value of US$38.3 bn by the end of the forecast period.

Currently, Asia Pacific leads the demand for herbicides among all the regions and is projected to remain the key consumer over the next few years. In 2014, it held a share of 27.9% in the overall demand for herbicides across the world. Latin America, which closely follows Asia Pacific in terms of volume, is expected to witness the fastest rise in the demand for herbicides between 2015 and 2023 at a CAGR of 5.80%.

The demand for herbicides will continue to be the strongest in the cereals and grains sector throughout the forecast period. Glyphosate is likely to remain the most preferred herbicide across the world in the coming years, states the report.

The study presented here is based on a report by Transparency Market Research (TMR) titled “Herbicides Market: Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2015 - 2023.”

Superabrasives (Turning, Cutting, Buffing, Drilling, Boring, Grinding) Market Research Report 2025

An abrasive is a material which molds or provides finishing to a work piece through a process which includes buffing, grinding, cutting, as well as polishing. Abrasion typically depends on the difference in the hardness of the material and the abrasive (with the latter being the harder of the two). Unlike regular abrasion where any two solid materials that repeatedly rub against each other tend to wear away, superabrasives possess the kind of hardness that enables them to stay usable for a longer period of time. On the basis of hardness, the top two superabrasives include diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN). Industrial diamonds used as superabrasives are exceptionally hard materials. However, they display several technological limitations. For instance, when a diamond comes in contact with a ferrous alloy such as steel or a nickel superalloy, the resulting formation of carbide leads to its abrasion. Also, a diamond-containing tool can only be used at moderate temperatures a

Industrial Lubricants Market: Strong Demand Across Automotive Industry, Trends To 2025

Lubricants refer to the organic or inorganic material primarily being use to decrease friction between two surfaces in contact. Lubricants play a key role in several industries as well as in commercial and residential sectors. One of their most common uses is in the lubrication of bearings and gears, allowing for their easy movement at high speeds, without loss in energy, prevent excessive generation of heat, or most importantly, prevent damage that would be caused otherwise. Industrial lubricants are, therefore, essential in enhancing the overall efficiency of a machine that contains moving parts in contact with one another. The global industrial lubricants market is currently expanding at a solid growth rate, driven by several factors and spearheaded by the likes of BP, Total, Chevron Corporation, ExxonMobil, and Shell.

Rapid Prototyping Market - Rapidly Gaining Importance in Aerospace Sector, Research By 2024

Rapid prototyping is a technique in which the physical modeling of a design is done with the help of specialized machining technology. It was developed initially in the mid-1980s, the principle used in this technology is of solid modeling with the help of computer programs (i.e. CAD). Solid modeling makes use of computer aided-design (CAD) data to completely describe not just the external shape of parts or equipment, but its interior volume as well as the outside surfaces. The computer model is sliced into thin layers and the part of the product or commodity to be modelled or developed as per the requirement, is eventually fabricated by adding layers onto each other. Obtain Report Details @   http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/rapid-prototyping-market.html The primary benefit of the system is that almost any shape can be manufactured using computerized programs. Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid prototypi
