Analysis of the current situation and prospects of pesticide market in China

2016 "small year" features obvious, pest control area reduced by 9.8%

In 2016, the major pests and diseases of crops in China were moderately occurring. The area of ​​pests and diseases was nearly 6.3 billion mu, which was 10.8% lower than that of the previous year. The area of ​​prevention and control was 7.6 billion mu, which was 9.8% lower than the previous year.

The pesticide industry continues to show the characteristics of "small years"

Specific performance, revenue growth decreased, demand was weak, most product prices continued to remain low, pesticide prices were stable, and the pesticide market exceeded supply. Overall, pesticides are still in the current period of 2016.

Increase in the use of fungicides

According to the preliminary survey statistics of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country, the use of pesticides decreased, the use of fungicides increased, herbicides increased slightly, the use of rodenticides was flat, the amount of plant growth regulators increased, and the proportion of imported pesticides increased year by year.

In 2017, the pharmaceutical industry will grow at a large growth point, and the national pesticide demand will be reduced by 2% next year.

According to the preliminary forecast and statistical analysis of 31 provincial plant protection systems in the country, the total national pesticide demand (commodity volume) is expected to be 920,000 tons in 2017, and the discounted amount is nearly 300,000 tons, which is about 2% lower than the previous year. The total demand for pesticides showed a downward trend, and the amount of bio-pesticides used increased significantly.

Plant protection medical equipment upgrade will speed up

It is expected that the demand for knapsack hand sprayers will continue to decline in 2017, and the backpack-type electric and power sprayers will gradually replace the knapsack hand sprayers. It is expected that large and medium-sized pesticide application machines will continue to grow in 2017, and specialized cooperative organizations and new business entities will become the main force of purchase. In 2017, China will re-implement a new round of animal and plant protection projects, which will surely provide a good opportunity for the upgrading of China's plant protection machinery.

Plant protection drones will continue to grow

The area of ​​plant protection drones has increased year by year, especially in the prevention and control of rice field diseases. It is expected that the plant protection drones will continue to grow in 2017. UAV manufacturers will change from selling machines to selling services. UAV flying hands will become a hot profession, the market is seriously inadequate, and needs to be highly concerned.
