However, the forecast is not based on an intricate economic model but has been done by correlating the past and present performance of the industry.

Note: EU means EU (25) countries in the report.

Market Analysis
The global chemical industry is growing extensively, thanks to multiple uses of chemicals in various industries. With respect to the global chemical industry, EU slipped down to the second position (market share of 30.43% and production value of Euro 455.2 Billion) as the largest chemical production base in 2005 after Asia; the reason was the expansion of production bases by China and India and poor performance in petrochemicals and specialty chemical segment in European Union (25).

The pharmaceutical industry of EU (25) is also the second largest industry in the world. It is estimated that the pharmaceutical industry in the region climbed up at a rate of 6% in 2006 propelling the whole chemical industry to move ahead with 2.6% rate.

In future, the chemical segment like consumer chemicals, plastic, paint and dyes, fertilizer chemicals etc are likely to grow due to their supportive industry growth in EU (25). Overall, chemical industry in EU (25) is expected to grow with a CAGR of 3.19% during 2007-2010.

Research Highlights
§ Presence of the world’s second strongest pharmaceutical industry in European Union (25) has fuelled the pharmaceutical chemical sales and likely to support the chemical industry in future.
§ Cosmetic industry in Europe is gaining pace and creating demand for consumer chemicals in EU (25).
§ Huge automobile production base and emerging plastic packaging industry is going to create demand for the plastic and rubber chemicals in near future in the region.
§ The printing industry (newspaper) and textile industry is supporting the production of chemicals for paints and dyes and will decide the future demand in EU (25).
§ The production of agricultural products in Europe is going to support the future fertilizers and crop protection chemicals in the region.

Key Findings
§ Consumer chemicals sale in EU (25) is expected to grow with a CAGR of 2.83% during 2007-2010 and will be supported by the growing personal product industry in Europe.
§ Specialty and fine chemical sales are projected to record a CAGR of 1.53% from 2007 to 2010 due to rising competition from developing countries like China and India.
§ Pharmaceutical industry sales in EU (25) are anticipated to attain a CAGR of 2.99% during the forecasted period.
§ Petrochemical sales in EU (25) are forecasted to inch up at a CAGR of 2.87% during 2007 to 2010.

Key Issues and Facts Analyzed
§ What is the chemical production, sales, and trade scenario globally and in EU?
§ What is the EU chemical production by types?
§ What is the EU chemical export and import scenario by regions and types?
§ What is the landscape of chemical industry like in major EU countries?
§ Which forces are driving the chemical industry in EU?
§ What are the opportunities and challenges for chemical manufacturers in EU?
§ Who are the key players operating in the market?

Indian Pesticides Industry report by Bharatbook

New Report on Indian Pesticides Industry by Bharatbook.com

Agriculture is the lynchpin of the Indian economy. Ensuring food security for more than 1 bn Indian population with diminishing cultivable land resource is a herculean task. This necessitates use of high yielding variety of seeds, balance use of fertilisers, judicious use of quality pesticides along with education to farmers and the use of modern farming techniques. It is estimated that India approximately loses 18% of the crop yield valued at Rs.900 bn due to pest attack each year. The use of pesticides help to reduce the crop losses, provide economic benefits to farmers, reduce soil erosion and help in ensuring food safety & security for the nation.

The Indian pesticide industry with 85,000 MT of production during FY 07 is ranked second in Asia (behind China) and twelfth globally. In value terms, the size of the Indian pesticide industry was estimated at Rs.74 bn for 2007, including exports of Rs.29 bn.

Globally, due to consolidation in the industry, the top five global MNCs control almost 78% of the market. In India, the industry is very fragmented with about 30-40 large manufacturers and about 400 formulators.

The per hectare consumption of pesticide is low in India at 381 grams when compared to the world average of 500 grams. Low consumption can be attributed to fragmented land holdings, low level of irrigation, dependence on monsoons, low awareness among farmers about the benefits of usage of pesticides etc. India, being a tropical country, the consumption pattern is also more skewed towards insecticides which accounted for 64% of the total pesticide consumption in FY07.

India due to its inherent strength of low-cost manufacturing and qualified low-cost manpower is a net exporter of pesticides to countries such as USA and some European & African countries. Exports formed 39% of total industry turnover in FY07 and have grown at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 18% from FY 03 to FY 07.

Prior to 2005, i.e. in the process patent regime, Indian companies focused on applied research and concentrated on marketing generic and off-patent products. Due to this, the R&D expense by Indian companies was lower at approximately 1% of turnover. Global companies focused on high-end specialty products and dominated the market for patented new molecules. However, with the onset of the product patent regime in India since 2005, the Indian companies will need to increase R&D expense to meet competition from MNCs. Alternatively Indian companies can be competitive in the area of Contract Research and Manufacturing Services (CRAMS).

With the advent of the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) technique, the use of biopesticides and Genetically Modified (GM) seeds has increased. Globally, GM seeds are used mainly for commercial crops like cotton, maize, soyabean and canola. In India, Bt cotton is widely used and the acreage stood at 6.20 mn ha for 2007, a growth of 63% over the previous year. Use of GM seeds may diminish the use of insecticides but the use of herbicides may improve.

CARE Research feels that the demand for pesticides can be augmented only through sustainable growth in agriculture. With the government’s focus on development of the agriculture sector, the industry may see a better future. The Indian pesticide industry is also likely to move towards the global product mix, with an increase in the use of herbicides and fungicides. Exports will continue to remain the growth driver.
