Using herbicides to eradicate weeds at an early stage helps in increasing the productivity and yield per unit, which has led to increased use among producers across the globe. However, in addition to killing weeds, herbicides also exert toxicity on crops. Herbicides can injure the main crop by damaging its shoots, foliage, flowers, and fruits. It can also lead to reduced yield, poor fruit quality, and can even cause death in plants. Herbicide injury to main crops may also result in the presence of chemical residues that can harm humans after consumption. Thus, safeners are added to herbicides to protect the main crops from herbicide injury. Adding safeners to herbicides improves the target selectivity between crop and weed species. Sometimes, herbicide safeners are only used with specific herbicide adjuvants and active ingredients. For instance, benoxacor is added as a safener to protect crops against damage caused by the herbicide active ingredient, S-metolachlor.

One of the major factors affecting the growth of the herbicide safeners market is the rising safety and environmental concerns related to the use of herbicides, which had led to regulatory action in many countries. This is expected to affect the growth of the herbicide safeners market during the forecast period. Thus, there is a growing need to develop sustainable herbicide and safener combinations to address the issue of toxicity of herbicides, which could serve as a new product development opportunity in the herbicide safeners market.

South America accounted for the largest share of the herbicide safeners market in 2017. The region’s high production of crops such as corn and soybean to meet the export demand is likely to contribute to the demand for herbicides and eventually strengthening the demand for selective herbicides. The Asia Pacific herbicide safeners market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR of 8.31% from 2018 to 2023. The growth in this region can be attributed to the high production of cereals and grains to meet the domestic consumption, especially wheat and rice, where selective herbicides such as acetochlor and S-metalochlor are highly used.
