Pyridine Market Segment Analysis – By Type

The Pyridine N-Oxide segment held a significant Pyridine Market share in 2021 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period 2022-2027. The pyridine N-Oxide offers the excellent potential of reacting both electrophilic and nucleophilic reagents. It is increasingly used in the pharmaceutical sector as a drug metabolite. Moreover, the flourishing medical & pharmaceutical sector is fueling the growth prospects for Pyridine N-Oxide. Thus, with bolstering growth in the medical and pharmaceutical sector for applicability in drugs, medications and others, the pyridine N-Oxide segment is anticipated to grow rapidly in the pyridine market during the forecast period.

Pyridine Market Segment Analysis – By End-use Industry

The agriculture segment held a significant Pyridine Market share in 2021 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Pyridine is a heterocyclic organic compound, structurally associated with benzene and has significant demand in the agricultural sector for applicability as an active ingredient in pesticides, fertilizers and others. The agriculture industry is significantly flourishing, owing to factors such as rising production for grains, cereals and others and demand for fertilizer and pesticides. For instance, according to the National Statistics, Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs, the value of fresh fruits in the UK increased from US$903 million in 2019 to US$1,045 million in 2020. With the robust scope for agricultural production, the utilization of pyridine in agrochemicals for fertilizer and pesticides is increasing, which, in turn, is projected to boost the growth scope for the pyridine market during the forecast period.

Pyridine Market Segment Analysis – By Geography

Asia-Pacific held the largest Pyridine Market share in 2021 up to 42.7%. The lucrative growth scope for pyridine in this region is influenced by the rise in agrochemicals base, rising spending on medical and pharmaceutical utilities and urbanization. The lucrative growth for the agriculture sector in APAC is influenced by growing farming activities and rising production of herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers. For instance, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), China grew around 260 thousand tons of maize, 146 thousand tons of rice and 133 thousand tons of wheat in 2019. According to the OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook, China accounted for 26% of the global rice production and 16% of the global wheat production in 2020. According to the National Investment Promotion & Facilitation Agency, total food grain production in India recorded an increase of 11.15 million tons in 2020-21 compared to the previous year. With fast-paced agricultural production and farming activities in APAC, the applications of pyridine for agrochemicals, pesticides, fertilizers and others are projected to rise in Asia-Pacific, which, in turn, is anticipated to boost the growth scope in the pyridine market over the forecast period.

Pyridine Market Drivers
