The growing need for agrochemicals owing to demand for better quality agricultural product for food and other purposes is another factor that will drive the global hydrazine hydrate market in next few years. Higher growth rate of the global population in comparison to the growth in arable lands is a matter of concern.
 

As per the World Bank, farmers all around the world need to increase their crop yield by almost 50% per hectare by the end of 2050. This will encourage the market for agrochemicals in the forecast period. The global agrochemical industry recorded a revenue of over USD 70 billion in 2015 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR more than 6% from 2016 to 2024. The extensive use of hydrazine hydrate for manufacturing of several insecticides, pesticides and fungicides owing to its chemical nature will boost the hydrazine hydrate demand. Hydrazine also finds application in foliar treatment of potatoes to prevent them from sprouting during storage.
 

The prospective trend of using hydrazine hydrate fuel cells will open a range of opportunities for the hydrazine hydrate market in upcoming years. For instance, Daihatsu Motor Co. Ltd, in Japan, has made hydrazine hydrate-based fuel cells with output density close to that of hydrogen fuel cells. The absence of carbon dioxide in the emission has a positive effect on the application of these fuel cells and growing R&D in this field will create a healthy market in future.
 

However, the toxic nature of the chemical will pose a threat to the market growth as a result of several environmental and industry usage norms imposed by OSHA and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), USA. Experimental results showing the carcinogenic properties of hydrazine hydrate will also restrain the market growth from 2016 to 2024. It has been classified as Group 2B by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Furthermore, disposal of the wastes is also an environmental concern and is expected to hamper the hydrazine hydrate market growth in the forecast timeframe.
