Herbicides are used to prevent or control unwanted weed growth. These are basically synthetic chemicals that can be used individually or in combination with each other. Herbicides could be selective for specific targets or non-selective with broad spectrum. Herbicides affect growth and development of weeds at the tissue and cellular level. Herbicides can be photosynthesis inhibitors, shoot growth inhibitors, root growth inhibitors, amino acid synthesis inhibitors, pigment synthesis inhibitors, and others.

Rapid rise in demand for grains due to increasing population is expected to drive growth of the herbicides market globally. Additionally, increasing usage of genetically modified (GM) crops is anticipated to boost the herbicides market during the forecast period. However, growth in the organic agriculture industry that uses biological methods for crop protection is projected to hamper the herbicides market in the next few years. Stringent regulations imposed by environmental protection agencies and ban on herbicide products are also anticipated to inhibit the market growth. New product development through research and development is projected to be an important opportunity for market players during the forecast period.

In terms of volume, glyphosate accounted for the highest share of the global herbicides market in 2014. The segment accounted for more than 60% share of the market in 2014. The segment is anticipated to maintain its dominance in the near future. 2,4-D herbicide is likely to be the fastest-growing segment of the global herbicides market during the forecast period. Acetochlor and atrazine, which have faced ban in Europe, are likely to expand at a sluggish growth rate during the next few years.
