The industrial chain structure of the pesticide intermediate industry includes upstream petroleum and chemical products, providing raw material support for the preparation of pesticide intermediates. The downstream of pesticide intermediates is mainly focused on pesticide production and the agricultural market. The main raw materials required for the production of pesticide intermediates come from petroleum and chemical products, which can generally obtain stable large-scale supply. The price fluctuations of petroleum and chemical products directly affect the production costs of intermediates and raw materials. Preparations are mainly processed and compounded using raw materials as raw materials, and the promotion of water-based preparations reduces the demand for chemical organic solvents. Therefore, compared to the production of raw materials, the production cost of preparations is relatively less affected by price fluctuations in petrochemical products.

China has become the world's largest producer of pesticides. Since the 21st century, with the continuous release of domestic and international demand for pesticides, a huge pesticide production capacity has been formed in China. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the annual output of chemical pesticides in China has exceeded 2 million tons. From 2010 to 2022, the annual production of pesticides in China reached its peak in 2016; However, a considerable portion of pesticide production capacity has been eliminated in the fierce market competition and increasingly strict environmental regulations both domestically and globally due to outdated construction concepts, limited technological capabilities, insufficient environmental investment, and neglect of market capacity. Overall, with the continuous clearance of excess, backward, and highly polluting production capacity, the supply side reform of China's pesticide industry has achieved good results. The relationship between the industry, society, and the ecological environment has been coordinated, and the supply and demand pattern of the industry has also been continuously improved.

The pesticide industry in China currently faces problems of low industry concentration and serious homogenization, as well as low levels of informatization and automation. During the 13th Five Year Plan period, the main task of the pesticide industry is to focus on adjusting product structure, improving independent innovation capability, enhancing technological level, protecting ecological environment and resource conservation. The transformation and upgrading of the domestic pesticide industry and resource integration are imperative. There are many pesticide production enterprises in China, with generally small scales, showing characteristics such as multiple and scattered, uneven technological level and product quality. Compared with the highly concentrated global pesticide industry, the concentration of China's pesticide industry urgently needs to be improved. Under the policy guidance of vigorously promoting the merger and reorganization of pesticide enterprises, eliminating outdated production capacity, and guiding the sustainable and healthy development of the pesticide industry, the merger and reorganization of the domestic pesticide industry is proceeding in an orderly manner, increasing industry concentration, accelerating industry integration, transforming and upgrading industrial layout, and the pesticide industry is developing towards intensification and scale.
