The global agrochemical sector is facing a downturn, impacted by elevated channel inventories, low product prices, and muted demand. This ripple effect is expected to hit Indian players as well, with revenue and profits of listed companies likely to decline for the first time in a decade in the current fiscal year.
Year 2022 saw inflated agrochemical prices, followed by an aggressive channel destocking in 2023.
