USA’s Top 15 Pesticide Firms & Why We Matter

By the Owner of Safe Guard Pest Control

 Introduction

As the proud owner of Safe Guard Pest Control, I’m deeply committed to protecting not just homes and farms—but also to helping our community understand how the pest control industry works.

A recent article from Yahoo Finance broke down the 15 largest pesticide companies in the U.S., and it inspired us to reflect on how our local pest control business complements the innovations of these global leaders.

In this post, we’ll explore the broader pesticide landscape, share how we align with national safety and sustainability standards, and show why it matters to homeowners like you.

 The Big Picture: Crop Protection as a Safety Net

According to Fortune Business Insights, the global crop protection chemicals market was worth $57 billion in 2020 and is forecasted to reach $82 billion by 2028.

• Leading buyers: U.S., Brazil, and China

• Most used product types: Herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides

• Fastest-growing market: Asia Pacific region

While these chemicals are often associated with large-scale agriculture, they are also vital for urban pest management—including homes, schools, businesses, and gardens.

 Meet the Power Players: Top 15 U.S. Pesticide Companies

Some of the largest pesticide producers shaping the U.S. market include:

• FMC Corporation – Known for advanced insecticide innovation

• Corteva Agriscience – A leader in herbicides, fungicides, and biologicals

• Bayer CropScience – Parent company of Monsanto

• Syngenta, Adama, Dow Inc., BASF, and others

These companies are responsible for developing and supplying the pest control products that companies like ours safely apply in the field.
