Insecticides dominate the African crop protection chemicals market
- Agriculture is one of the major sectors in Africa. This sector fulfills the growing population's food security needs and helps the region to grow economically. The region's diverse climate conditions are favorable to the various crops, including wheat, maize, rice, soybeans, sunflower, beans, tobacco, coffee, cocoa, and tea.
- Insecticides dominated the African crop protection chemicals market, accounting for a share of 41.7% in 2022. Crop losses in African countries due to insects are estimated at 49.0% of the expected total crop yield each year, according to the Centre for Agriculture and Biosciences International. However, some crop losses may be even worse, and the effects of the changing climate are expected to increase the damage done by insects. Stem borers, leaf-eating caterpillars, bean flies, aphids, thrips, leafhoppers, whiteflies, and beetles are major pests that cause economic yield losses in the region.
- Herbicides are the second most used crop protection chemicals in Africa, accounting for a market share of 30.7% in 2022. On average, the region is losing up to 25-100% crop losses to weed infestations every year. At the same time, the region is implementing intensive agricultural practices to meet the food needs of a growing population, which favors the infestation of various weed species. During the historical period, the consumption of herbicides witnessed significant growth, and the usage increased by 8,264 metric tons between 2017 and 2022.
- Growing population, a decrease in arable land, and a rise in food security are some driving factors of the market in the region, and the market is anticipated to witness a CAGR of 3.6% during the forecast period.

The market is growing due to the rising consumption of pesticides to protect crops from pests and weeds
- The demand for pesticides in Africa is increasing to protect crops from pests, diseases, and weeds. Farmers in the region depend heavily on these chemicals as pest and disease infestations can result in substantial crop damage and loss.
- The fall armyworm infestation can lead to a shortage of 16 million metric tons of maize worth almost USD 5 billion. According to the Centre for Agriculture and Biosciences International, if this moth is not properly controlled, it has the potential to cause annual losses of 8.3 to 20.6 million tons in 12 of Africa's major maize-producing nations.
- Africa cultivates root and tuber crops such as cassava, sweet potato, potato, and yam on 23 million hectares of land. Cassava is consumed by 500 million to 1 billion Africans, but it is susceptible to insect pests and disease. The cassava mosaic virus and cassava brown streak disease are the most significant diseases affecting the crop. The annual economic losses in eastern Africa and central Africa are estimated to be between USD 1.90-2.70 billion.
- Maize, rice, wheat, and sorghum are the most important food crops grown in the country. Among these, maize is the most widely grown cereal crop. It is highly susceptible to pests, like Chilo partellus Swinhoe (Crambidae), which can cause significant yield losses ranging from 15% to 100% annually. In fact, farmers in eastern Africa have reported production losses of up to USD 450 million due to Chilo partellus alone. These factors are expected to drive the consumption of pesticides, and the crop protection chemicals market is expected to register a CAGR of 3.6% during the forecast period.
Africa Crop Protection Chemicals Market Trends
Adoption of IPM strategies and other alternative methods like crop rotations significantly reduces pesticide consumption per hectare
- During the historical period, there has been a remarkable decline in pesticide consumption per hectare within Africa. In 2017, the pesticide consumption rate stood at 1,175 g per ha. However, subsequent efforts have successfully reduced it by 96 g per ha, resulting in a current rate of 1,079 g per ha. This significant reduction in pesticide usage was due to a combination of various factors, which include the implementation of improved agricultural practices that prioritize sustainable and eco-friendly methods. Farmers have increasingly adopted innovative techniques such as integrated pest management, crop rotation, and biological pest control, which have minimized the need for chemical pesticide usage per hectare.
- Herbicides are majorly utilized pesticide products in the region, but in recent years, the herbicide consumption per hectare is significantly reduced by 34 g in 2022, as compared to 2017. This substantial decrease in herbicide consumption was due to the successful implementation of integrated weed management (IWM) practices. Under this approach, farmers have adopted a range of innovative strategies such as diversified cropping systems, mechanical weed control, crop rotation, and the use of cover crops. These environment-friendly techniques have contributed to reducing herbicide reliance and also promoted sustainable agriculture, enhancing soil health and conserving biodiversity.
- Farmers adopt IPM strategies, disease-resistant crops, and alternatives to control pests and diseases, raising awareness of pesticide's negative effects, thus reducing fungicide and insecticide use per hectare by 38 and 23 g per ha in 2022, compared to 2017.

Increasing demand and limited availability majorly fluctuate the active ingredient prices
- Cypermethrin is the predominant insecticide utilized in the region to control pests affecting crops such as rice, cotton, soybeans, and vegetables. Due to its high demand, the price of Cypermethrin rose by USD 3,186.2 per metric ton in 2022 compared to 2017. This increase was due to its limited production within the region, leading to a significant dependence on imports to meet the demand.
- Atrazine stands as the primary herbicide utilized in maize-producing countries like South Africa and Nigeria, with 88% of the maize area employed for weed control. Its usage extends to various terrestrial food crops, non-food crops, forests, residential turf, golf courses, recreational areas, and rangelands, making it a widely adopted weed control measure on farms. Due to its expanding application across various crops, the price of Atrazine has been steadily increasing Y-o-Y, with a growth recorded at USD 3,292.7 per metric ton in 2022 compared to 2017.
- Glyphosate is widely embraced as the second most used herbicide in the region, primarily due to its affordability. Many farmers opt for glyphosate as their primary weed control solution. In 2022, glyphosate's active ingredient was priced at USD 1,143.2 per metric ton.
- During the historical period, prices of pesticide-active ingredients in the region experienced a substantial increase, amounting to an increase of USD 1,580.9 per metric ton. This surge may be mainly attributed to the region's limited production capacity. Over the past five years, there has been a notable rise in pesticide imports into Africa, leading to heightened dependence on imported products and consequent price escalation in the region.

糖心vlog传媒 follows a four-step methodology in all our reports.
- Step-1: Identify Key Variables: In order to build a robust forecasting methodology, the variables and factors identified in Step-1 are tested against available historical market numbers. Through an iterative process, the variables required for market forecast are set and the model is built on the basis of these variables.
- Step-2: Build a Market Model: Market-size estimations for the forecast years are in nominal terms. Inflation is not a part of the pricing, and the average selling price (ASP) is kept constant throughout the forecast period.
- Step-3: Validate and Finalize: In this important step, all market numbers, variables and analyst calls are validated through an extensive network of primary research experts from the market studied. The respondents are selected across levels and functions to generate a holistic picture of the market studied.
- Step-4: Research Outputs: Syndicated Reports, Custom Consulting Assignments, Databases & Subscription Platforms
