Weed Control Segmentation

Application Areas (Agricultural Weed Control, Non-Agricultural Weed Control)

Agricultural weed control segment is poised to dominate weed control market share of around 60% by the end of 2037. There will probably be a shortage of food due to the expanding population and rapidly increasing urbanization. According to UNCTAD; by 2022, the percentage of people living in cities was expected to have risen to 56.9%. With the usage of biotech crops and growth-promoting drugs, agricultural productivity is probably expected to have increased dramatically in order to meet the growing need for food.

The six countries that make up the world's agricultural output are Brazil, Nigeria, the United States, Indonesia, China, and India. In a similar vein, India's agriculture sector is probably going to be crucial to the industry's growth. The diversified geography, range of soil types, and climate of India have contributed to agriculture by enabling farmers to carry out agricultural activities all year round. Therefore, it is anticipated that the aforementioned elements will fuel the need for weed control market demand in the farming industry.

Control Methods (Chemical Weed Control, Biological Weed Control, Mechanical Weed Control, Cultural Weed Control)

Biological weed control segment in the weed control market is anticipated to exhibit CAGR of over 7% till 2036. Biological management techniques are the best option for managing pests since they are safe for the environment, do not pose a threat to humans, and work well all year round. The weed control market will be driven in the upcoming years in this segment due to the growing public awareness about the health risks of synthetic pesticides, as well as growing laws and global bans on synthetic chemicals used in farming.

In order to develop and grow the biological control market which is predicted to rise as consumer preferences shift toward organic food products more R&D collaborations, partnerships, and other activities are being carried out.
