Market share of major pesticide company in the Chhattisgarh

Abstract

The analysis of pesticide companies in Chhattisgarh shows that the market is dominated by a few big companies and is highly competitive. Bayer Crop Science Limited is the top company with sales of ₹ 115 crore, making up 12.12% of the market. It is followed by Tropical Agrosystem Pvt. Ltd. with ₹ 93.3 crore (9.85%) and Syngenta Global AG with ₹ 85 crore (8.97%). These three companies alone hold over 30% of the total market, showing that big international firms have a strong presence due to their better technology, wide product range, and strong dealer networks. When we add Rallis India (7.92%) and Corteva Agriscience (7.71%), the top five companies together control about 47% of the total market value of ₹ 946.6 crore. This means that only a few companies have most of the market share, which is called an oligopoly. Mid-sized companies like PI Industries (6.49%), FMC (6.02%), and ADAMA (5.91%) are also doing well because of their product variety and local marketing. Smaller companies such as Best Agrolife (2.11%) and Willowood India (0.95%) face more difficulties. They have fewer dealers, weaker brand names, and struggle with rules and seasonal sales. The study suggests that to make the market more balanced and fair, there should be more innovation, better dealer support, and stronger policies to help small and mid-level companies grow.
