China’s herbicide industry remains exploding, are you ready?
C
hina’s herbicides industry has witnessed great development in the past few years and China has become one of the top herbicide a.i. suppliers in the world.
With the development and promotion of highly effective herbicides, traditional herbicides output growth in China will slow down.
However, China’s herbicide industry is weak in the following aspects: ■■China’s herbicide industry has weak R&D capacity and a few innovative products. Over 95% herbicides are off-patent products with low added value. ■■There are too many small herbicides manufacturers, most of which are producing traditional products with inefficient technology, leading to intense market competition. ■■China is weak in adjuvant manufacturing and formulation processing technologies, therefore, most herbicides technical are exported. ■■China’s herbicide manufacturers have a few selfowned brands in overseas herbicides markets.
Nevertheless, herbicide business will remain the key growth point in the whole pesticides industry in the future 5 years. It is expected that the output of China‘s herbicides will increase by a 6.2% CAGR in the coming 5 years, reaching 1,000,000 tonnes in 2014. And China’s herbicide export volume will exceed 8000,000 tonnes in 2014.
China is paying closer attention to environment protection and guiding peasants to use herbicides with low residue and high efficiency, which promotes demand of environmentally friendly herbicides to grow. Furthermore, post-emergent herbicides with selectivity are well received with peasants, as herbicides-resistant crops are not popular in China now.
Why China’s herbicides industry is exploding? Large global demand of herbicides from China is one of the reasons, with expanding planting area of herbicide-resistant crops over the world.
Therefore, most Chinese herbicides manufacturers are starving for advanced herbicides technologies and professional enterprise management, and many of them are looking forward to cooperating with overseas companies to explore China’s huge herbicide market together.
In the past 5 years, herbicide output had been increased by a 25.5% CAGR, reaching 740,000 tonnes in 2009. Now more than 50 herbicides are generally produced in China, and herbicides output took up over 35% of total pesticides’. More than 80% of China’s herbicides are supplied to overseas countries, mainly to American countries and Southeast Asian countries etc.
Meanwhile, with more and more agricultural labors flocking into city, the number of agricultural labors is decreasing annually; and application and extension of notillage technology in China are enlarging chemicals weeding area. Hence, domestic herbicides demand is increasing largely. Moreover, the total production costs of China’s herbicide is low, as China’s labor cost is comparatively low and the cost of pollution treatment only takes about 5% of total production costs. Furthermore, China, the greatest producer of yellow phosphorus, provides its herbicide industry with sufficient raw materials.
Keeping track of China’s herbicide industry will help you know which market China will explore and when. Knowing the current market dynamics of China’s herbicides will facilitate your search for great commercial opportunities in China’s huge market. Herbicides China News brings you the latest information on competitiveness analysis of China’s main herbicides, investment and procurement opportunities, advanced technologies and superior herbicide that China wants, crops planting situation and new legislations.
