*CCM is attending AgriBusiness Global Trade Summit at
Booth#24 in August 17-19 in Orlando, Florida, U.S.A. To better prepare for the
Trade Summit, CCM is presenting a series of feature reports of China agrochemical
market.
The structure
of China agrochemicals market is not different from that of the globe. In
China, herbicides capture the most market share of the whole agrochemical
market, up to 37.4% in 2014, followed by insecticide, 26.7% and fungicide
25.5%.
With the
changeable markets and policies all around the world, different kinds of
agrochemicals have come and gone in recent years. In the coming days, CCM would
analyze orderly on the market and tendency of fungicides, insecticides and
herbicides, about the performance, growth and market share of different
products.
The insecticide
market was quite sluggish in 2014 compared to previous years, thus, all the
pesticide enterprises were trying hard to capture more market share. Products of multinational corporations enjoyed overwhelming
advantages and performed much better than the Chinese insecticide products. The
active ingredients, such as chlorantraniliprole, thiamethoxam, flubendiamide
and abamectin, are very popular in the insecticide market.

Chlorantraniliprole
Chlorantraniliprole, the most innovative
insecticide in the past ten years, is well recognized due to its wide range of
applications and effective prevention and control since it entered the market
in 2008.
The global sales value of chlorantraniliprole
reached over USD200 million in 2009, almost USD400 million in 2010, over USD700
million in 2012 and even USD1.24 billion in 2013. With such a growth in sales
value, chlorantraniliprole edged out thiamethoxam and imidacloprid to be the
top 1 in global sales value.
Since chlorantraniliprole got registered in
China in 2001, it performed quite well in the market. Currently, there are 8
brands contained chlorantraniliprole, including Coragen, Prevathon, Altacor
from Dupont, Virtako, Voliam Targo, Ampligo from Syngenta and Ferterra from Taiwan
Xingnong Co., Ltd.
In fact, the consumption of Dupont’s
insecticide products reached a peak in 2013 while that of Syngenta remained
steady and fell a little. Both Coragen and Virtako sold over RMB100 million and
few products could compete with them.
Thiamethoxam
Thiamethoxam, found by former Novartis AG
in 1991, is mainly produced by Syngenta now. Compared with the first-generation
novel nicotinamide insecticide, thiamethoxam has a wider insecticidal spectrum
and higher biological activity, which makes thiamethoxam the best product in
the second-generation novel nicotinamide compound chemicals.
Entering the market in 1997, thiamethoxam
grew fast in its sales value. In 2008, the global sales value of thiamethoxam
soared to USD729 million, up 60.2% year on year, a peak for thiamethoxam
development.
In 2011, the global sales value even
reached USD1.07 billion, accounting for over 36.5% of that of all the novel
nicotinamide insecticide. The CAGR of the sales value of thiamethoxam was 22.2%
in 2003-2011.
In 2013, European Food Safety Authority
decided to limit the application of thiamethoxam, which slightly impacted on
the sales value of thiamethoxam.
In China, thiamethoxam plays a vital role
in both field spraying and seed treatment and grew fast in sales value in the
past two years.
In 12 July 2012, Liaoning Huludao Lingyun
Group of Pesticides Chemical Co., Ltd. registered thiamethoxam 98% technical
for the first time in China. Till now, over 55 enterprises have registered this
product. It could be imagined that there would be a more and more intense
competition in China’s thiamethoxam market.
