This is also used as fungicide for protection of crops against diseases, which can help to upsurge the market globally.
Increase in demand for genetically modified crops owing to its cost-effective characteristic and weed controlling properties boost the growth of the glufosinate market globally. Herbicide contribution in securing food bowl fuels the growth of the market across the globe. Toxic effects of glufosinate on animals and stringent government regulations are the restraining factors in the growth of market globally. Glufosinate herbicide tolerant genetically modified crop acceptance and approval trend in the crop yield and rapid growth in market in the regions such as Asia-Pacific expected to be the upcoming opportunities for the key players in glufosinate market growth.
The global glufosinate market size is segmented into crop type, formulation type, and region. Depending on crop type, the market is classified into cereals & grains, oilseeds & pulses, fruits & vegetables, and others. On the basis of formulation type, market is categorized into aqueous suspension, liquid, suspension concentrate, soluble (liquid) concentrate, and others. Region wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
North America has the highest market share in terms of crop type. This is attributed to the presence of production facilities and largest consumer base in the region. Asia-Pacific noted the highest growing rate in the glufosinate market during the forecast period (2019-2026).
The global glufosinate market analysis covers in-depth information of the major industry participants. Some of the major players in the market include Bayer AG, Limin Chemical Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Yongnong Chem. Ind. Co., Ltd., UPL Limited, Lier Chemical Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Seven Continents Green Chemical Co., Ltd., SinoHarvest Corporation, DuPont de Nemours, Inc., BASF SE, and Nufarm limited.
Other players operating in the value chain of the global market are Syngenta, United Phosphorous, Inner Mongolia Jiaruimi Fine Chemical Co. Ltd., Jiangsu Huangma Agrochemicals Co., Ltd., and others. Key players are adopting numerous strategies such as product launch, acquisition to stay competitive in the global glufosinate market. For instance, UPL launched glufosinate based herbicide at the twelfth Brazilian Cotton Congress. This new product named as Trunfo herbicide which has grufosinate as an active ingredient. This will reinforce the product portfolio of the company. Also, the key player Nufarm launched new Cheetah Pro Herbicide product. It is a non-selective herbicide for control of grassy and broadleaf weeds. It is labeled for control of more than 100 grassy and broadleaf weeds and sedges in a variety of golf, turf and landscape settings. This product launch enhanced the product portfolio of the firm.

Analyst Review
According to the perspectives of CXOs of leading companies, development of genetically modified glufosinate-tolerant crops, broad weed spectrum, and high efficacy of glufosinate are the major factors driving the growth of the global glufosinate market. In addition, it is one of the better substitutes for glyphosate and paraquat. However, toxicity in flora and fauna owing to usage of glufosinate herbicides and complexities in its manufacturing process hamper the market growth. Currently, oilseeds and pulses is the leading consumer of glufosinate herbicides amongst all the crop types owing to its advantage of cash producing crop. According to the CXOs, the demand for glufosinate is witnessing significant growth in all the regions, due to its broad weed spectrum and comparatively less adverse effects on crops.
Among the analyzed geographical regions, North America is expected to account for the highest revenue in the global glufosinate market throughout the forecast period (2019-2026) followed by Asia-Pacific, Europe, and LAMEA.
