South America Crop Protection Chemicals Market (2024-2029)

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The study involved four major activities in estimating the current size of the crop protection chemicals market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, peer, and parent markets. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. After that, market breakdown and data triangulation were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.

Secondary Research

This research study involved the extensive use of secondary sources—directories and databases such as Bloomberg Businessweek and Factiva—to identify and collect information useful for a technical, market-oriented, and commercial study of the crop protection chemicals market.

In the secondary research process, various sources such as annual reports, press releases & investor presentations of companies, white papers, certified publications, articles from recognized authors, gold & silver standard websites, directories, and databases were referred to identify and collect information. This research study involved the extensive use of secondary sources—directories and databases such as Bloomberg Businessweek and Factiva—to identify and collect information useful for a technical, market-oriented, and commercial study of the crop protection chemicals market.

Secondary research was mainly used to obtain key information about the industry’s supply chain, the total pool of key players, and market classification and segmentation as per the industry trends to the bottom-most level, regional markets, and key developments from both market- and technology-oriented perspectives.

Primary Research

Extensive primary research was conducted after obtaining information regarding the crop protection chemicals market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews were conducted with market experts from both the demand and supply sides across major countries of North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and South America. Primary data was collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews.

Market Definition

According to FAO, a crop protection chemical means a pesticide product intended to prevent, destroy, or control any pest causing harm during or otherwise interfering with the production, processing, storage, transport /or marketing of food, agricultural commodities, and wood and wood products.

Crop protection chemicals are used to protect crops from diseases, pests, and unwanted weeds & grasses, ultimately resulting in better yield. These chemicals include fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, nematicides, and other such chemicals that can either be synthetically or naturally produced. Crop protection chemicals are preferred over seed treatment chemicals and genetically modified (GM) crops because of their high effectiveness and easy application. Crop protection chemicals can be used in liquid or solid form and are widely applied to cereals & oilseeds and fruits & vegetables. They are mainly applied through seed treatment, soil treatment, and foliar spray.
