Clomazone Market

• In August 2020, Syngenta Seeds completes acquisition of Sensako. Sensako is a leading South African R&D seeds company with a strong wheat market position.

• In January 2022, Sipcam Oxon's Herbicide Bismark this new herbicide, developed in combination with clomazone and pendimethalin, has been launched to manage grass and broadleaf weeds across various crops. It has gained popularity in regions such as Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Greece, with plans to expand into France in 2023.

In this report, the Clomazone Market has been segmented by Formulation, Crop Type, Usage, Application and Geography.

Clomazone Market, Segmentation By Formulation

The Clomazone Market is segmented by Formulation into Suspo-Emulsion (SE), Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC), Liquid (LI), Granules (GR), Capsule Suspensions (CS) and Others.

Suspo-Emulsion (SE)

Suspo-Emulsion formulations account for nearly 28% of the Clomazone market, driven by their high stability and easy application in crop protection. Their ability to deliver effective results with reduced dosage makes them a popular choice among farmers.

Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC)

Emulsifiable Concentrate holds around 25% share, supported by its cost-effectiveness and versatility across different crops. However, environmental concerns linked to solvents are encouraging a gradual shift toward safer formulations.

Liquid (LI)

Liquid formulations represent approximately 18% of the market, offering ease of mixing and rapid action in agricultural spraying. They are widely preferred in large-scale farming operations due to their high efficiency.

Granules (GR)

Granules capture about 12% share, favored for their convenience in soil application and controlled release properties. They are particularly useful in minimizing herbicide drift and ensuring consistent crop protection.

Capsule Suspensions (CS)

Capsule Suspensions make up nearly 10% of the market, gaining traction for their longer shelf life and sustained release mechanisms. They are becoming increasingly relevant in precision farming applications.

Others

Other formulations collectively contribute around 7%, including powders and blends designed for niche crop protection needs. Their demand remains steady in specialized agricultural practices.

Clomazone Market, Segmentation By Crop Type

The Clomazone Market is segmented by Crop Type into Field Crops and Fruit & Vegetable Crops.

Field Crops

Field crops dominate the Clomazone market with nearly 70% share, as the herbicide is widely applied in soybean, cotton, rice, and maize cultivation. Its effectiveness in controlling annual grasses and broadleaf weeds ensures high adoption across large-scale farming operations.

Fruit & Vegetable Crops

Fruit & Vegetable crops account for around 30% of the market, driven by the rising demand for high-quality produce and the need to minimize weed competition in intensive farming. Adoption is particularly strong in regions focusing on horticulture and specialty crops.

Clomazone Market, Segmentation By Usage

The Clomazone Market is segmented by Usage into Pre-Emergence, Post-Emergence and Pre Plant.

Pre-Emergence

With nearly 55% market share, Pre-Emergence application dominates the Clomazone market. Farmers prefer this method as it ensures early suppression of grasses and broadleaf weeds, reducing competition before crop germination and improving overall yield efficiency.

Post-Emergence

Holding close to 30% of the market, Post-Emergence application is favored for tackling weeds that emerge later in the season. Its selective use supports weed resistance management while safeguarding crop productivity.

Pre Plant

Accounting for about 15% market share, Pre-Plant application is adopted in intensive agricultural regions to create a weed-free seedbed. This approach enhances soil preparation and reduces the risk of early-stage crop competition.

Clomazone Market, Segmentation By Application

The Clomazone Market is segmented by Application into Grain, Fruits, Vegetables and Others.

Grain

Holding nearly 50% share, Grain crops represent the largest segment of the Clomazone market. Its extensive use in corn, soybean, and cereal production highlights its effectiveness in eliminating broadleaf weeds and grasses, supporting high-yield grain farming.

Fruits

With about 20% market share, Fruits form a significant segment where Clomazone is applied in orchards and perennial crops. It enhances soil quality and reduces the burden of weed competition, ensuring healthier fruit harvests.

Vegetables

Vegetables account for approximately 20% of the market, benefitting from Clomazone’s proven efficacy in horticultural production. Rising consumption of vegetables with minimal weed interference supports the herbicide’s growing role in this category.

Others

Representing around 10% share, the Others segment includes specialty and non-crop applications. These uses provide niche solutions for weed management in industrial and smaller-scale agricultural practices.

Clomazone Market, Segmentation By Geography

In this report, the Clomazone Market has been segmented by Geography into five regions; North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa and Latin America.

Clomazone Market Share (%), By Geographical Region

North America

Capturing nearly 35% share, North America leads the Clomazone market due to its widespread use in corn and soybean cultivation. Strong regulations and advanced farming methods make the region a consistent demand hub.

Europe

With close to 25% market share, Europe emphasizes sustainable crop protection solutions, driving steady adoption of Clomazone. Countries like France, Germany, and Spain contribute significantly to regional growth.

Asia Pacific

Asia Pacific holds about 20% of the market, with growth supported by increasing demand for Clomazone in rice fields and vegetable farming. Expanding agricultural investments in China and India further accelerate adoption.

Middle East & Africa

Accounting for around 10%, the Middle East & Africa region is gradually expanding in Clomazone usage, supported by the need for weed control in challenging climatic conditions and water-scarce regions.

Latin America

At nearly 10% share, Latin America remains an important market, with Brazil and Argentina leading demand. Expanding soybean and maize production for global export strengthens Clomazone’s role in the region.
