India`s glufosinate import shipments in 2024 were primarily sourced from the USA, China, Japan, Germany, and the UK. The market concentration, as measured by the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), increased from moderate levels in 2023 to high concentration in 2024. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the period 2020-2024 was 0.42, indicating steady but slow growth. However, there was a notable decline in the growth rate from 2023 to 2024, with a decrease of -9.6%. This data suggests a shifting landscape in the glufosinate market in India, potentially influenced by various factors affecting import dynamics.

Glufosinate is a non-selective herbicide that has gained attention in the India market due to its effectiveness in controlling a wide range of weeds. It is often used in conjunction with genetically modified crops designed to tolerate its application. The glufosinate market is a subset of the herbicides market and reflects the shift in agricultural practices towards precision farming and weed management.
The India glufosinate market is growing due to several driving factors. Glufosinate is a broad-spectrum herbicide used to control a wide range of weeds in various crops. One of the primary drivers is the increasing cultivation of glufosinate-tolerant genetically modified crops, such as cotton and soybeans. These crops have led to higher demand for glufosinate as a weed management tool. Additionally, the need for effective and efficient herbicides to improve crop yields and quality is contributing to market growth. The government`s support for sustainable agricultural practices is also encouraging the adoption of glufosinate.
Challenges in the India glufosinate market include concerns regarding the environmental impact of this herbicide. Regulating its use and preventing contamination of soil and water sources are significant challenges. Additionally, ensuring the safe application and handling of glufosinate is crucial to avoid harm to farmers and the environment.
The glufosinate market in India was also affected by the pandemic. Disruptions in the supply of this herbicide impacted its availability to farmers. Additionally, the economic challenges faced by farmers due to lockdowns and restrictions may have led to a temporary reduction in the use of glufosinate. However, the long-term market outlook remains favorable as agriculture remains a key sector in India.
The market for glufosinate in India has been influenced by companies like BASF India, Syngenta, Bayer CropScience, Dhanuka Agritech, and UPL Limited.
