Increased Trade of Agrochemicals to Drive the Agricultural Packaging Market

The agricultural packaging market is estimated at USD 3.93 Billion in 2018, and is projected to reach USD 5.02 Billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 5.00%. The agricultural benefits associated with these packaging solutions are the major factors contributing to the growth of this market, globally.

The market is driven by factors such as rising consumption of pesticides and fertilizers across the globe, increasing adoption of high barrier packaging materials for agrochemicals, increasing demand for extended shelf life of these products, and rising demand for biologicals across the globe owing to the increasing ban on chemical pesticides.



The agricultural packaging market is a relatively small sector of the industrial packaging market; significant evolution has been observed with regard to the packaging of chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Regulatory guidelines and R&D are the major factors that have been fueling the growth of this market. Application of PET and HDPE plastics for the confinement of pesticides revolutionized the agrochemical packaging industry. Increasing need for effective storage and transport of pesticides and fertilizers and rising demand for longer shelf life of these products are the driving factors for the steady growth of this market.
