Global Benzofenap Market Overview
Global Benzofenap market size is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 3.8% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Benzofenap is a pyrazole herbicide aromatic ketone that contains various types of substances such as acetophenone, dimethyl, clomazone, ethanone, and other substances. In the small bay and commercial settings, benzofenap outperforms traditional treatments in terms of yield trials. This ensures early and effective weed management, improved crop tolerance, and weed control for the ALS-resistant weeds population. The global benzofenap market is primarily driven by the growth of the cash crop industry. Moreover, the growth of the horticulture industry is expected to fuel the demand for benzofenap. This, in turn, will drive the global benzofenap market growth in the projected forecast period of 2022-2027.
COVID-19 Impact
The Covid-19 pandemic hampered the growth of the benzofenap market because in 2020 governments all across the world imposed stringent lockdown measures. As a result, in 2020, there was a decline in the production of cash crops, horticulture crops, and other similar crop types. For instance, according to the statistics released by the US Department of Agriculture, in 2019, the production of Rice in Indonesia was about 35.5 million metric tons and in March it was 34.4 million metric tons, a decline of 2.9%. Furthermore, Thailand's rice production in 2019 was 20.16 million metric tons and in 2020 it was around 18 million metric tons, a decline of about 12% from April 2019. Similarly, in other countries also, there was a decline in crop production, owing to which the benzofenap manufacturers suffered losses. However, in 2021 with the ease of lockdown-related regulation, there was growth related to the production of crops, which propelled the growth of the benzofenap market. Moreover, it is forecasted that the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic will be gradually decreasing in the upcoming years, which will result in the benzofenap industry growth outlook similar to pre-Covid time.

Global Benzofenap Market Segment Analysis – By Type
The foliar spray segment held a significant share in the global benzofenap market in 2021 and is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 3.6% during the forecast period 2022-2027. The benzofenap is used in foliar spray applications to protect agricultural roots from the toxicity of iron, aluminum, and manganese, thereby, resulting in increased yield output. The application time of foliar spray can be immediate when the deficiency signs are discovered, allowing them to remedy the damage before it causes substantial yield loss. Thus, these benefits are driving the growth of the foliar spray application, which is resulting in the growth of the benzofenap market.
Global Benzofenap Market Segment Analysis – By Crop Type
The cash crop segment held a significant share in the global benzofenap market in 2021 and is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period 2022-2027. In cash crops such as rice, oilseed, and more rice benzofenap herbicide is majorly utilized to protect the water-soaked crop from the weeds and surge higher per hector production of such crops. The factors such as increasing adoption of agriculture equipment, growing productivity, and other factors are driving the growth of the cash crop industry. For instance, according to the US Department of Agriculture, in 2019, the global rice production was 581.1 million tons, and in 2020, it was 605.7 million tons, an increase of 4.2%. Hence, the growth of the cash crop type is fueling the demand for benzofenap. This, in turn, is aiding the growth of the market.
Global Benzofenap Market Segment Analysis – By Geography
Asia-Pacific region is the dominating region as it holds the largest share in the global benzofenap market in 2021 up to 43%. The agriculture sector is the key sector of the Asia-Pacific region. To increase profitability, Asia-pacific farm growers are adopting the latest technology and increasing their focus on cash crops. This has resulted in the growth of cash crop production. For instance, according to the US Department of Agriculture, in 2020 the total oilseed crop production in the Asia-Pacific region was about 127.6 million metric tons, and in 2021 it was about 131 million metric tons, an increase of about 2.7%. Moreover, in 2020, the production of rice in China was 148.3 million tons, and in 2021, it was 149 million tons, an increase of approximately 1%. Therefore, the increasing food and cash crop production in the Asia-Pacific region is projected to boost the demand for benzofenap, this, in turn, will propel the benzofenap market growth in the next few years.
Global Benzofenap Market Drivers
Increasing Crop Production Within the Same Area of Arable Land
Benzofenap plays an important function in increasing crop yield on the same cultivable land by protecting crops from increased weeds, owing to this, it is frequently employed during crop production. Agriculture has expanded rapidly in recent years, but the majority of this growth has been driven by a higher yield per unit area rather than increased planted area. It is recommended that annual agricultural production and yield be enhanced within the same amount of arable land by 2030. For instance, the recent statistics published by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) project that global agricultural production of wheat and other coarse grains will increase by around 9% on the same amount of arable land between 2021 and 2030. To boost crop productivity on the same amount of arable land while also delivering appropriate nutrients, the demand for benzofenap will Surge. This will propel the market growth throughout the projection period.
Government Initiatives for Rice Cultivation
Benzofenap herbicide has high efficiency against annual and perennial broad-leaved weeds after pre- to early post-emergence treatment. Benzofenap is extremely successful as a specialist for the control of Sagittaria species, such as Sagittaria trifolia, while being very harmless to horticulture crops. As a result, the horticulture crop is protected from the weeds as well as expands higher yield production. The production of horticulture crops is increasing at the global level to encourage nutritional security. For instance, according to the European Union, in 2020 the production of the fruits in the European Union countries was about 36.8 million metric tons, and out of this apples and pears production was the highest at 14.3 million metric tons, which was about 38.9% of the production of the total fruit. Additionally, according to the Department of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, in 2019, India’s total vegetable production was 191.8 million metric tons, which was about 4.7% higher when compared with the year 2018. Therefore, the horticulture crop production growth is bolstering the demand for benzofenap, which, in turn, is driving the growth of the market.
Global Benzofenap Market Challenges
Hazardous Nature of Benzofenap
Although the benzofenap has superior weed control properties, which often results in less production loss and higher yield production. However, the hazardous nature of benzofenap can restrict the growth of the market. Moreover, certain organization has labeled benzofenap under the category of a hazardous substance. For instance, according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), it falls under the category of H332 (97.44%): harmful if inhaled, H400 (100%): very toxic to aquatic life, and H410 (100%): very toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects. Hence, such restriction, due to its hazardous nature is anticipated to limit the growth of the benzofenap market in the upcoming years.
