DUBLIN, March 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/f69vrw/glyphosate) has announced the addition of the "Glyphosate - Situation and Outlook 2015: Market Volume, Value & Drivers; Manufacture; Regulation; Company Profiles; Competitor Products" report to their offering.
Global capacity for glyphosate is around 1 million tonnes with the main producers being Monsanto and Chinese companies. Production is estimated at around 800,000 tonnes split roughly 50/50 between Monsanto and the Chinese companies. Some other companies are also engaged in manufacture but that tends to just be the last stage of production and on a much smaller scale. Many companies are involved in selling glyphosate. Supply arrangements for glyphosate are complex with considerable intra-company activity.
The Chinese glyphosate industry faces challenges of overcapacity and environmental scrutiny, furthermore some low concentration formulations have been banned and export tax rebates withdrawn.
On the other hand Chinese companies are taking an increasingly proactive stance with respect to distributing glyphosate outside China.
The main competitor products to glyphosate are paraquat and glufosinate. Paraquat faces some regulatory challenges. Glufosinate is receiving ongoing investment from Bayer and Chinese companies.
