Zhao Qing, vice director of Pesticide and
Equipment Office of NATESC, predicted that the demand for insecticides will be
on the decrease and the structural adjustment will be made in 2015.
At the end of 2014, Zhao Qing, vice
director of Pesticide and Equipment Office of the National Agro-Tech Extension
and Service Center (NATESC), made a prediction on insecticide market in 2015.
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.
Organophosphorus
insecticides
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.
Carbamate
insecticides
It is estimated that the demand for
carbamate insecticides will reach 5,200 tonnes.
Strongly demanded: isoprocarb, carbofuran
and carbosulfan
Soar in demand: indoxacarb, carbaryl,
dimethacarb and carbosulfan
Slump in demand: thiodicarb, aldicarb and
carbofuran.
Pyrethroid
insecticides
The demand for pyrethroid pesticides is
expected to reach 3,600 tonnes.
Strongly demanded: beta-cypermethrin,
envalerate and fenpropathrin
Soar in demand: bifenthrin and esfenvalerate
Other
insecticides
The demand for other pesticides is
forecasted to reach 23,900 tonnes. Bisultap, imidacloprid, pymetrozine, (BT)
bacillus thuringiensis, chlorbenzuron, abamectin and acetamiprid are strongly
demanded. Besides, the demand for abamectin, abamectin-aminomethyl, buprofezin,
monosultap, thiamethoxamand will drop compared with in 2014.
Mr Zhao predicted that the demand for
acaricide will rise and reach 10,900 tonnes in 2015. Strong demands for crystal
calcium polysulfide, propargite, pyridaben, dicofol, azocyclotin and
clofentezin are shown. Hereinto, the demand for crystal calcium polysulfide
presents a large growth.
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.
