Pesticides & Other Agrochemical Product Manufacturing in France industry analysis

The French pesticides and agrochemical industry has navigated a storm of regulatory and market pressures. Regulatory crackdowns on harmful pesticides like neonicotinoids and chlorothalonil have reduced the domestic market for several key pesticides, compelling manufacturers to pivot their strategy. In addition, shrinking cereal production due to heightened costs and foreign competition has strained volume sales. Revenue is projected to shrink at a compound annual rate of 0.2% over the five years through 2025 to €7.9 billion.

Trends and Insights

  • The chlorothalonil ban hits manufacturers revenue. In 2019, the EU banned one of the most widely used pesticides in the world, chlorothalonil, in response to links to declining bumblebee numbers.
  • Targeted and bio-based agrochemicals are in vogue. Intense regulation and environmental concerns sparks demand for more sustainable and eco-friendly agrochemicals.
  • Multinational companies dominate the scene. The agrochemical manufacturing industry is dominated by a few large multinational companies and smaller regional players.
