Asia Pacific Crop Protection Chemicals Market

The Asia Pacific crop protection chemicals market is estimated at USD 21.57 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 27.04 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.6%. The Asia Pacific crop protection chemicals market is steadily growing, supported by the surging commercial farming activity, increased pest and disease pressure, and the need to maintain stable yields for crops like corn, soybeans, wheat, fruits, and vegetables. The demand is fueled by greater integrated use of crop protection programs involving a combination of herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and seed treatments and government regulations encouraging a gradual shift toward lower-risk chemicals. This is complemented by enhanced precision farming, digital agri-tech tools, and better formulations to ensure effective and targeted chemical application throughout the whole region.

Key players in the Asia Pacific crop protection chemicals market include Bayer CropScience, Corteva Agriscience, and BASF SE, all holding significant strong positions through their broad chemical portfolios and continuous innovation. Bayer CropScience holds a significant market position with its extensive product pipeline, global manufacturing scale, and wide distribution network that offer successful chemical solutions for weed, pest, and disease control. Corteva Agriscience is a major global player in crop protection chemicals that combines a wide portfolio of herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides, which will be backed by continuous investment in new active ingredients and resistance-management solutions for all core crops. BASF continues to strengthen its position with advanced fungicide and herbicide chemistries with innovative formulation technologies and related integrated crop protection programs applicable to row and specialty crops.

Rallis India Limited (India)

A significant Indian agri-inputs company would be Rallis India Limited, a company ranked under Tata Chemicals' subsidiary tier. The company operates in crop protection, crop nutrition, and seed markets, rendering services in insecticide, herbicide, fungicide, biopesticide, micronutrient, specialty fertilizer, and hybrid seed formulations. Contract manufacturing services also include Rallis and delivery to both domestic and international markets through a well-established, wide distribution network across India.

Product innovation, expansion, and sustainable agriculture practices show a company's strategy. Rallis continually invests in research and development, and formulation capabilities, so it can forge agritech alliances and deliver farmer-focused practical solutions. Soil health, climate-resilient crops, and efficient input-use focus on long-term growth and strengthening competitive positioning in India's agri-inputs market.

In November 2025, Rallis India Limited launched NuCode, a biological solutions program for soil and plant health covering biopesticides and biostimulants aimed at sustainable crop protection. The launch is in line with the company's strategy to develop reduced-risk and environmentally friendly support services within its crop protection portfolio.

Nufarm (Australia)

Nufarm Limited is globally focused on crop protection. It is carved out in a distinct Asia Pacific perspective as Nufarm Americas Inc. The core interest of the company has been the development, manufacture, and marketing of a broad portfolio of herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides for agricultural and specialty markets. In essence, Nufarm's strategy is based on its continuing provision of feasible and value-oriented chemical solutions to growers in managing problems related to weeds, pests, and diseases in some major row crops, fruits, and vegetables.

Nufarm has grown its presence across the Asia Pacific market by registering key active ingredients, as well as providing a clear product difference, such as the Naxypro insecticide series, which uses chlorantraniliprole for extended control of lepidopteran pests. Nufarm works very closely with its distributors and agronomists in the co-creation of solutions to address local pest pressures and resistance challenges as part of sustainable productivity and integrated crop protection programs.

In October 2025, Nufarm Americas Inc. registered with the EPA two formulations containing the active ingredient chlorantraniliprole: Naxypro and Naxypro Plus. These solutions ensure prolonged protection against harmful lepidopteran pests that affect the target field and specialty crops cultivated in Asia Pacific. This is because the active ingredient is now off-patent, providing growers with a contemporary means to control insects effectively.

Market Ranking

The Asia Pacific crop protection chemicals market is very competitive, with global players such as Syngenta Group, Bayer AG, BASF SE, Corteva Agriscience, FMC Corporation, and Sumitomo Chemical holding strong positions due to their wide product portfolios, solid R&D capabilities, and extensive distribution networks across China, India, Japan, Australia, and Southeast Asia. Regional and mid-tier companies, including UPL, ADAMA, Nufarm, Rallis India, PI Industries, Indofil Industries, and Godrej Agrovet, play an important role by offering cost-effective formulations, substantial local market reach, and flexible supply chains trained to regional crop needs. Smaller players such as Marrone Bio Innovations and American Vanguard add momentum through their focus on biologicals, specialty crops, and differentiated solutions, with growing partnerships, technology investments, and targeted geographic expansion across Asia Pacific.

In 2024 and 2025, leading crop protection companies introduced several strategic products across Asia Pacific to strengthen pest and disease management and support sustainable farming practices. In May 2024, BASF SE launched Cimegra in Australia, offering targeted insect control for key cropping systems. During 2024, Syngenta Group expanded its regional presence with ADEPIDYN and TYMIRIUM across China and Australia, while also introducing Miravis Duo and Reflect Top in India to improve management of fungal diseases and nematodes in rice and vegetable crops. In October 2025, Syngenta launched SEGURIS Evo and VESTORIA Pro, enhancing rice protection against both pests and diseases. Finally, in November 2025, Rallis India Limited introduced NuCode, a comprehensive biological solutions platform focused on soil and plant health, supporting the adoption of reduced-risk and environmentally friendly crop protection practices across the region.
