EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Global Plant Growth Regulators market is one of the growing segments in crop protection
industry that caters to the improvement of crop yield. Plant growth regulators perform systematic
regulation of the growth and development of the plant through modification of various
physiological attributes of the plant. PGRs are widely used in variety of plantations ranging from
row crops, fruits to turf and grass. The market is segmented into key types of PGRs and crops that
use PGR along with in-depth country level detailed regional analysis.
Global growing demand for cotton is fueling the usage of PGRs in cotton cultivation to meet the
requirements. This is one of the key driving factors for the growth of PGR market around the
world, especially in the APAC and Latin American regions, where cotton production is significantly
high. Furthermore, the need to improve the yield of food crops to cater the food requirements of
the increasing world population is another important point that propels PGR market. Developing
PGRs for the purpose of inducing qualities like drought resistance and stress tolerance in plants to
improve the life and quality of the crop is a potential opportunity for the growth of PGR market.

The global market for PGRs was estimated to be at $XXm in 2013 and it was projected to reach up
to $1,780m by 2020. Based on the type of PGR, the market is segmented as: Cytokinins, Auxins,
Gibberellins, Ethylene (Or) Ethylene Releasers Mepiquat Chloride and others. Cytokinins occupied
the major market share, whereas maximum growth is forecast for ethylene or ethylene releasers,
which is poised to exhibit a CAGR of 5.9% through 2020. The increasing utilization of
ethylene/ethylene releasers on crops to serve various functions that improve the crop quality,
storage and yield has been the driving factors for this growth.

The global market for plant growth regulators is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.6% over the
forecast period to reach $1,780.8m by 2020. The market exhibited steady growth due to the mixed
growths exhibited in different regions. Europe held the largest market share, generating $XXm in
2014, with a comparatively slow growth due to the market saturation. APAC is the fastest growing
region with a CAGR of X%. This growth can be attributed to the presence of various developing
countries like India and China, which are trying to adopt new technologies and crop protection
methods in agriculture. Furthermore, the demand for the use of PGRs to enhance the yield and
quality of crops like cotton is driving the PGR industry to exhibit higher growth in the regions,
where cotton is one of the major crops.

Some of the key market insights with respect to the PGR industry are:

The emerging markets of the developing nations in Latin America and Asia, such as Brazil,
China, India and Korea, hold an enormous potential for the growth of PGR market in the
near future. This can be attributed to the increasing awareness among farmers in these
countries regarding the modern day agricultural practices such as corporate farming, contract
farming and mechanized farming.

The PGRs used on fruits and vegetables are forecast to exhibit highest growth through 2020
due to their ability to delay senescence in fruits and vegetables, thereby preserving their
freshness.

Cytokinins have the largest market share in the global PGR market in 2013 and the market
for ethylene or ethylene releasers is forecast to exhibit the highest CAGR owing to their
increasing applications on various crops worldwide.

The increasing pressure to improve the yield of food crops in view of the increasing
population is set to drive the market for PGRs globally.

GLOBAL PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS MARKET

FORCES

4.1. MARKET DRIVERS

4.1.1. GROW TH IN GLOBAL COT TON DEMAND SET TO DRIVE PGRS
MARKET

Cotton is widely grown in the developing regions of Latin America, China and India. There is an
increasing global demand for cotton due to thriving textile industry. The major drivers for cotton
demand include increase in global population and increasing per capita income. In the past couple of
years, there has been a fall in the global cotton production due to lower output in the U.S. and
China. Chinas minimum support price for cotton remained above world prices but the combination
of the rising costs of production and generous support for grain production shifted incentives in
favor of alternative crops. In the U.S., the decline in production was largely due to the relatively
higher prices for corn and soybean, as well as the continuing drought across the Southwest region.

Sample Figure: Global Cotton Production, 2010-2020 (million bales)

The demand for cotton is set to be on rise due to strong demand from end use industries. The
drought conditions in the U.S. are poised to improve and the production scenario in China is also
set to improve as the Chinese Government is providing subsidies to cotton farmers in order to
mitigate the drop in the Chinese cotton production. Furthermore, countries like Australia, India and

Brazil continue to increase production and hence, the global production of cotton is set to bounce
back. The usage of PGRs like Ethephon and Mepiquat chloride which are used in the regulation of
cotton metabolism to improve crop yield drives the market for PGRs, especially in these developing
regions.
