Accordingly, the demand for insecticides will drop and the structural adjustment will be made by relevant enterprises. The predicted data comes from NATESC and can only used as reference for pesticide manufacturers. They should keep an eye on all the factors that could influence the insecticide market, including climate, the demand and supply, market share of common insecticide products, planting area of crops and the outbreak of pests. Of course, they need to fully comprehend the market conditions and adjust the corresponding marketing strategies in order to remain competitive and profitable.

 

Mr. Zhao predicted that the demand for insecticides would be 110,300 tonnes in 2015.

The demand for organophosphorus insecticides presents evident drop in recent years and is estimated to reach 77,700 tonnes in 2015, while the demand for high efficiency, low toxicity and long-lasting efficacy insecticides will be on the increase. In detail, strong demands for insecticides like dichlorvos, chlorpyrifos, trichlorfon, phoxim, acephate, omethoate, triazophos are shown.

Through Mr. Zhao predicted that the demand for insecticides in 2015 will drop on the whole, the demand for pesticide in 2015 will still be huge under the influence of warm winter in 2014.

 

There will be great opportunities for some insecticides, such as imidacloprid, acetamiprid and chlorpyrifos. Expect for that, green insecticides that could prevent and control pest will also get sound development opportunities. High efficiency and low toxicity insecticides will also attract more attention as people's awareness of environment protection and food safety have been strengthened.

 

Besides, bio-insecticides will have huge prospects, such as spinosad, pyrethrin, matrine, rotenone, ethylicin and muscalure. The demand for environmentally friendly insecticides will rise, such as water-based formulation, modified emulsifiable concentrate without toxicity and side effect, because the government intensified its control for emulsifiable concentrate products.
