Summary of our market study
The French market for sanitary products is estimated at between €1.5 and €1.9 billion.
The global crop protection market is valued at $60 billion
The global market is dominated by six chemical giants, which collectively hold 80% of the market. These companies invest heavily in research and development to fuel innovation and sustain growth in the face of strict regulations aimed at reducing pesticide use.
The French market for phytopharmaceutical products has grown significantly over the years, however, a shift has occurred and the rate of growth has slowed, due to growing public concern about the effects of these products on health and the environment.
The breakdown by product type has been stable for several years: onsecticides 9% fungicides 37%, herbicides 45%.
In 20 years, the market for plant protection products has fallen from 120,000 tonnes in 1999 to around 52,000 tonnes in 2019, representing a 57% drop in the volume of active ingredients.
France remains a world heavyweight in pesticides, and is the world's leading exporter of these products. It ranks third among the world's users, and is Europe's leading user. Production of plant protection products in France is in excess of €4 billion.
Companies have to comply with stringent regulations and constantly monitor the harmful effects of phytopharmaceutical products on the environment and public health.
Pesticides and fertilizers are recognized as the main culprits in the pollution of surface water and groundwater by the agricultural sector.
The French government has set itself the ambitious target of reducing pesticide use by 50% by 2025.

Summary and extracts
1 Market overview
1.1 Introduction
Phytosanitary products are used in agriculture to protect crops from parasites, certain insects, fungi or weeds. These products are part of the pesticide family, and must be approved in Europe with a specific authorization for each use.
The phytosanitary products market has long enjoyed double-digit growth in France, but this growth has slowed slightly since 2018 with the rise of protests and warnings of harmful health effects. On a global scale, the market is growing steadily, with an annual growth rate of 3.9% between 2022 and 2027. [Mordor Intelligence]
The crop protection market is dominated by the world's chemical giants, leaving little room for new entrants. In fact, 80% of the global crop protection market is concentrated among the industry's 6 giants. Players in the crop protection market are betting on innovation to sustain their growth, as evidenced by the increase in their R&D budgets.
The main challenge facing the crop protection market remains its harmful impact on the environment and human health : pesticides, along with fertilizers, are the two main sources of pollution of surface and ground water by the agricultural sector. By extension, the crop protection market is faced with much more restrictive regulations, as evidenced by the French government's executive decision to reduce pesticide use by 50% by 2025.
