Glyphosate Market to Grow with a CAGR of 4.18% through 2030F

Expansion of agriculture in emerging economies is expected to drive the Global Glyphosate Market growth in the forecast period, 2026-2030F.

 

According to TechSci Research report, “Glyphosate Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the Global Glyphosate Market stood at USD 8.91 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 9.58 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 4.18% during the forecast period.

The transition toward bio-based and alternative herbicides is gaining momentum as regulatory restrictions on synthetic herbicides, particularly glyphosate, become more stringent. Concerns over glyphosate’s potential links to health risks and environmental damage have prompted agrochemical companies to explore sustainable weed management solutions. This shift is being driven by both market demand for safer agricultural inputs and governmental policies that encourage the development of eco-friendly herbicides. Companies are focusing on microbial-based herbicides, which utilize naturally occurring bacteria and fungi to suppress weed growth, reducing reliance on synthetic chemicals. Additionally, plant-derived compounds, such as essential oils and allelopathic extracts, are being studied for their herbicidal properties, offering a natural approach to weed control. A key innovation in this domain is RNA interference (RNAi) technology, which targets specific genes within weeds, disrupting their growth without affecting other plants or soil health. This precision-based approach enhances efficacy while minimizing unintended environmental impact. Governments and research institutions are actively funding projects to discover and commercialize new bio-herbicides, recognizing their role in sustainable agriculture.

Beyond chemical alternatives, non-chemical weed control methods are also advancing. Electrical weeding technology, which applies high-voltage currents to destroy weeds at the cellular level, is gaining traction in regions with strict herbicide regulations. Similarly, thermal weeding techniques, including flame and steam applications, are being integrated into weed management strategies, particularly in organic farming. While glyphosate remains a widely used herbicide, increasing adoption of regenerative agriculture and integrated weed management practices is accelerating the demand for alternative solutions. As research and innovation continue, the market for bio-based and alternative herbicides is expected to expand, offering farmers effective, sustainable weed control options that align with evolving environmental and regulatory standards.

The Global Glyphosate Market is segmented into type, application, regional distribution, and company.

Based on the Type, genetically modified (GM) crops, particularly glyphosate-tolerant varieties, are projected to be the fastest-growing segment in the global Glyphosate Market in 2024. These GM crops, engineered to withstand glyphosate application, offer significant advantages for farmers by simplifying weed control and reducing the need for alternative herbicides or manual weeding. This innovation is driving widespread adoption as farmers seek more efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable farming practices. The rapid growth of glyphosate-tolerant GM crops is further fueled by their ability to support modern farming techniques such as no-till and reduced-tillage practices, which conserve soil, reduce erosion, and improve soil health. As demand for more sustainable agricultural methods rises, glyphosate-tolerant GM crops are becoming a key solution, propelling their rapid growth in the global market. Their combination of environmental benefits and enhanced productivity positions them as the fastest-growing segment in the Glyphosate Market.

Based on region, North America has emerged as the second-largest region in the global glyphosate market, driven by widespread adoption of genetically modified (GM) crops, large-scale commercial farming, and advanced agricultural practices. The United States and Canada are key contributors, with extensive use of glyphosate-based herbicides in the cultivation of corn, soybean, wheat, and cotton. The high demand for glyphosate-resistant crops has led to increased herbicide application, further solidifying the region’s position in the market. North America benefits from well-established agrochemical companies such as Bayer AG, Corteva Agriscience, and FMC Corporation, which are heavily investing in glyphosate research, improved formulations, and sustainable weed management solutions. The region also has a strong network of distributors and retailers, ensuring a steady supply of glyphosate-based products to farmers. Despite its strong market presence, North America faces regulatory scrutiny and environmental concerns regarding glyphosate usage. In the United States, ongoing litigations and potential restrictions have prompted companies to explore alternative herbicides and integrated weed management strategies. Nevertheless, the continued expansion of precision agriculture and increasing investments in agrochemical innovations are expected to sustain North America’s dominance in the glyphosate market.

“The global glyphosate market is witnessing increased consolidation as leading agrochemical companies engage in mergers, acquisitions, and strategic partnerships to strengthen their market presence. Large corporations such as Bayer AG, Syngenta, and Corteva Agriscience are actively acquiring smaller companies and investing in advanced research and development (R&D) initiatives to enhance their herbicide portfolios. This trend is largely driven by the need to maintain competitive advantage, expand regional market share, and address evolving regulatory challenges related to glyphosate usage. One of the key areas of investment is the development of improved glyphosate formulations with reduced environmental impact. Companies are increasingly focusing on low-drift formulations, precision application technologies, and bio-based adjuvants to mitigate the environmental risks associated with glyphosate. These innovations aim to enhance efficiency while reducing unintended exposure to non-target plant species and ecosystems. Additionally, R&D efforts are directed toward combining glyphosate with complementary herbicidal modes of action, helping combat herbicide-resistant weed strains that have become a growing challenge in modern agriculture. With increasing restrictions and potential bans in some regions, companies are diversifying their portfolios to include next-generation herbicides, biopesticides, and precision agriculture technologies”, said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director of TechSci Research, a research-based management consulting firm.
