#6 In EuropeThe level of demand from agriculture, regulatory landscape changes and oil price volatility are key influences on the performance of Europe’s Pesticide and Other Agrochemical Manufacturing industry. Chemical pesticides have long been an integral part of the European agricultural sector and are vital in boosting crop yields. New regulations drive the evolution of agrochemical manufacturers’ product portfolio, changing land use and trends in pesticide usage. Innovation to lower the environmental footprint of pesticides and other agrochemicals has been met with growing demand for organic farmers who don’t use pesticides, constricting growth in sales. Over the five years through 2024, revenue is forecast to decline at a compound annual rate of 3.5% to €17 billion, including a 2.6% fall in 2024.
