Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum, systemic, non-selective, post-emergent herbicide widely used to control weeds, particularly broadleaf weeds and grasses that compete with crops. It works by inhibiting an enzyme essential for plant growth, leading to weed death while being absorbed through foliage and translocated throughout the plant. Available in forms like glyphosate salts (e.g., isopropylamine, monoammonium, potassium, diammonium) and acids, it comes in liquid or dry formulations (granular, powder). Key functions include weed management, soil health improvement, and enhanced planting efficiency. It is applied across agricultural crops (oil seeds, pulses, cereals & grains, fruits, vegetables), horticulture, and non-agricultural areas like forestry, lawns, gardens, and industrial sites. Glyphosate is valued for its low cost, effectiveness compared to mechanical tillage, and minimal environmental degradation when used properly.

Market Overview

The Asia-Pacific glyphosate market is expected to reach USD 19,234.45 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period of 2022–2029. This growth is fueled by the region's dominant agricultural sector, adoption of advanced weed control technologies, and increasing commercialization of high-value crops. China holds the largest share due to strong player presence and high demand.
