North America Crop Protection Pesticides Market

The North American crop protection pesticides market was valued at USD 13.67 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to reach a valuation of USD 13.97 billion in 2025 from USD 16.63 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 2.2% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2033.

Crop protection is when pesticides protect a crop from pests by controlling the population and keeping them safe so that the crop and yield don’t hurt. Pesticides are an important part of agriculture. Even though agriculture is a mature industry, more people are becoming aware of biopesticides and want to use them to protect the environment. Some pesticides like glyphosate, atrazine, and chlorpyrifos are being phased out. This is expected to increase the demand for biopesticides. Biopesticides are made from animals, plants, bacteria, and minerals. They help get rid of pests without using poison. 

One of the major drivers driving the North American crop protection pesticides market is the demand for food due to the increase in population. As the population increases, the demand for food increases as well; thus, the crop protection market also witnesses significant growth. With the increasing technology, the agriculture sector has also witnessed advancements in farming practices, thus acting as a major driver for the crop protection pesticides market. In recent years, the North American crop protection pesticides market has grown significantly due to its increased usage in the agriculture sector. Now, the seed treatment industry has also started to use crop protection pesticides. Thus, the seed treatment market is estimated to report significant growth in the upcoming years. 

One of the major factors restraining the market growth is that there have been strict restrictions and a ban on certain powerful pesticides owing to their harmful effects on human health. Another major restraining market growth is that authorities in many countries have put high restrictions on lower usage. Synthetic pesticides are linked to various health risks, such as increased cancer rates, fertility problems, etc., owing to which the government has limited their usage.
