This paper will analyse the current position and future prospects for the global crop protection market and investigate trends in R&D for both agrochemical products and genetic solutions for crop protection. Crop protection market development by region, crop, and chemistry sector will be described, tracking the influence of herbicide-tolerant and insect-resistant crops on agrochemical usage. The cost of R&D will be reviewed for both new agrochemicals and traits, whilst the shift in company R&D expenditure will also be analysed. Alterations in the rate of new product introduction and the number of products in development will be presented, along with the change in focus of many of the leading companies in the industry. The paper will conclude with a forecast for the crop protection market and an outlook for the future.
