U.S. and Europe Lead the Way in Crop Protection Market Reset

AgriBusiness Global Staff By AgriBusiness Global Staff|6 October 2025

The global crop protection market saw sharp declines in 2024, driven by low agrochemical and commodity prices, weather challenges, and shifting crop areas in the U.S. and Europe.

Looking ahead, 2025 shows signs of stabilization: agrochemical prices are expected to level off, weather conditions are improving, and inventory pressures are easing. In the U.S., maize acreage is set to rebound, while in Europe, cereal and oilseed production is projected to grow alongside regulatory reforms and new product adoption.

Dive deeper into what these shifts mean for growers, suppliers, and ag companies in a recent issue of AgriBusiness Global DIRECT.
