Abstract
US market to rebound through 2011
The home and garden pesticide market is expected to rebound in the next
several years, coming off a fairly sluggish period characterized by price
declines. Consumer concerns about lawn appearance, protecting food and
ornamental garden plants, and household pest control remain strong forces
behind demand for home and garden pesticides. However, heightened consumer
awareness about the potential dangers of pesticides has driven demand for
biopesticides used in lieu of conventional pesticides. Although conventional
products remain dominant within the market, regulatory actions have led to the
removal of some leading pesticide active ingredients, such as chlorpyrifos and
diazinon, from the consumer segment of the pesticide market. While such
products have generally been replaced by the use of other conventional
pesticides, the replacement products pose less threat to users, children and
non-target organisms.
