Pyribenzoxim
is witnessing a growing number of registrants in China, a boom in global market
value, and weakening efficiency of common herbicides in China. Hence, the
conditions are in favour of boosting the consumption of this herbicide in
China’s near future.
Pyribenzoxim compound was firstly registered in China by Lucky Chemical in the year 1994.
The company started to register pyribenzoxim 95% TC in 2000 and followed one
year later with pyribenzoxim EC. Pyribenzoxim compound was patented in
China until 2014 when it expired. It was applied for the planting of rice.
Later
in 2010, another company, LG Life Sciences, has secured the registrations of
pyribenzoxim in China to use it against gramineae weeds and broadleaf weeds.
This company has been the only registrant of pyribenzoxim TC in China for seven
years.
In
2016, the repacking permission of 5% pyribenzoxim EC by Heilongjiang expired,
opening opportunities for more manufacturers to place a footstep into the new
promising product for China’s herbicide market.
In
March 2017, the valuable market opportunity was recognized by three companies
in China, leading to the registration of pyribenzoxim 95% and 96% technical.
The registrants are Jiangsu Flag, Anhui Dangshan, and Mesa Tech International.
It
is worth notable, that pyribenzoxim formulations has three registrants in China
currently, while two more are in the possession of repacking registrations.
The
aforementioned information may suggest, that pyribenzoxim has merely got any
attention in China so far. However, there are several indicators, beside the
three more companies registering for pyribenzoxim technical, that reveal the
opportunities this herbicide will have in China in the near future.
First
of all, even there is only a small number of registrations until now, the
number of field tests for pyribenzoxim was sky rocking during the last 7 years.
According to market intelligence firm CCM, a total number of 80 field test applications has been carried
out in that period. Notable, field tests are normally the first step towards a
successful registration for pesticides.
What’s
more, China’s agriculture is marked by an intense use of the same pesticides
over the last decades. The lacking variety of different pesticides for crop
protection has enabled a fast growing resistant of many pests and weeds in the
country. The weakening efficiency of traditional herbicides in China have left
only a few herbicides left to kill agrostis and leersia weeds in paddy fields.
The
rare use of pyribenzoxim in China at the moment has giving this herbicide a
much better use against weeds than many of the regular used ones. Hence, this
herbicide is very likely to face a broad market prospect in China in the next
years, of which many domestic players want to get their share.
The
global market value of pyribenzoxim in 2012 has been USD1.34 million, according
to CCM’s research. Up to now, the market value has risen to more than USD33.85
million, which shows the boosting demand worldwide. The leading countries are
hereby Chile and Thailand, while China has a lot of potential to growing fast.
