Concise Analysis of the International Crop Protection Chemicals Market - Forecasts to 2016
M2 - Fri Mar 14, 5:26AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7mmltc/global_crop) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis of the International Crop Protection Chemicals Market - Forecasts to 2016" report to their offering. Globally, biofuels are gaining importance due to increasing focus on sustainability. Bioethanol is the major biofuel, followed by biodiesel and biogas. The natural feedstocks for biofuels are grains such as rapeseed, rice, and wheat or crops such as sugarcane and corn. The demand for crop protection chemicals is also derived from the demand for biofuels. For instance, ethanol requires corn as a feedstock for its production; therefore, an increase in the demand for ethanol will lead to an increase in the production of corn, which in turn would result in an increase in the use of crop protection chemicals. According to the report, one of the major growth factors is the rising food demand due to the increase in world population. In addition, due to rapid urbanization, the ratio of the available arable land area to the world population is decreasing year by year. To meet this global food demand, there is an increased use of fertilizers and pesticides to enhance yield quality and efficiency. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in the market is increasing pesticide resistance. Key Topics Covered: 1. Executive Summary 2. List of Abbreviations 3. Introduction 4.

2013 Report on the North and Latin American Crop Protection Chemicals Market - Trends and Forecast to 2018
M2 - Thu Jan 16, 5:29AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/k8v6fp/north_and_latin) has announced the addition of the "2013 Report on the North and Latin American Crop Protection Chemicals Market - Trends and Forecast to 2018" report to their offering. Crop protection chemicals are mainly divided into herbicides, insecticides and fungicides. Pesticides include both synthetic pesticides and bio-based pesticides, are the largest market segment owing to their wide-spread use in bulk quantities. Adjuvants are essentially pharmacological or immunological agents used to modify or enhance the effect of other vaccines and drugs. Insecticides are widely used because insects and parasites cause maximum damage to the crops during cultivation. Insecticides are used in large volume and they show their action for a longer period of time as compared to others. Almost over 67% of the crop protection market share belongs to patented or proprietary active ingredients, while 33% of this market is generic. The proprietary pesticides market has been built with a strong focus on crop protection chemicals based on stringent regulations, driven by the U.S. and European standards. In such situation, most of the major global players are focusing to slim down their production capacity of low-revenue ($million) off-patent proprietary products. The market has been segmented on the basis of crop types such as cereals, grains, oilseeds, and vegetables as well as by sub-segmentation of insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides such as glyphosate, atrazine, and 2,4-D.
