The acaricide market has huge room for development. High efficiency, environmental protection and low toxicity have become important development directions.

Acaricides refer to agents used to control herbivorous pest mites. There are many types of acaricides, with different types, prevention and control objects, mechanisms of action, application methods, efficacy, etc. The common acaricides currently include fenacetate, tetrafenacetate, pyridaben, and fenfenpyr. , avermectin, etoxazole, etc.

There are many types of acaricides with different classification methods. According to different sources, acaricides can be divided into chemical acaricides and biological acaricides; according to different mechanisms of action, acaricides can be divided into neurotoxins, mitochondrial respiration inhibitors agents, growth inhibitors and others; according to different types, acaricides are divided into quaternary acid, carbamate, β-ketonitrile derivatives, organotin, organic nitrogen, organophosphorothioate, etc. .

Mites are globally recognized as the most difficult pests to control. They have the characteristics of rapid reproduction, strong adaptability, high mutation rate, and easy development of drug resistance. Since harmful mites are prone to develop resistance, the activity of acaricides declines rapidly. In order to meet the needs of prevention and control, there is an urgent need to develop new acaricides. In recent years, as environmental protection supervision has become increasingly strict and market demand has escalated, broad-spectrum, high-efficiency, environmentally friendly, low-toxic, and multi-functional have become important directions for the development of new acaricides.

According to the “2022-2027 Acaricide Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospects Forecast Analysis Report released by the Industrial Research Center, In recent years, with the release of market demand, the global acaricide market has developed well, with market sales in 2020 of around US$900 million. Globally, the acaricide market is mainly concentrated in the United States, Japan, China and other regions, and the market share of other regions such as Southern Europe and Latin America is increasing. Our country is a major agricultural country. With the development of our economy, our country has become one of the fastest growing acaricide markets in the world.

The acaricide market in Europe, the United States, and Japan started early. With advantages such as first mover, technology, and brand, European, American, and Japanese companies occupy a major share of the global acaricide market, such as Germany’s Bayer, Arysta, Nissan Chemical Co., Ltd., Syngenta, Japanese Soda and other companies. my country’s acaricide industry started late, but driven by the improvement of corporate R&D capabilities and technological progress, the market share of domestic acaricides is constantly increasing. At this stage, my country’s acaricide-related companies include Shenyang Sinochem, Shenyang Kechuang, Tianjin Luying Pesticide, Chengdu Bangnong Chemical, Shandong Kangqiao Biological, Guangxi Huifeng Biological, etc.

Industry analysts said that acaricides are mainly used on citrus, apples, cotton, cherries and other crops. In my country, citrus is the main . Mites have strong reproductive capacity and are easy to produce antibodies. Therefore, the market is in urgent need of new acaricides. Against the background of increasingly stringent environmental protection supervision, biological acaricides with characteristics such as high efficiency, low toxicity, and environmental protection have become an important direction for development in the future. The bioacaricide market has huge development potential.
