UPL Limited (UPL) Industry Has Strong Fundamental Growth Drivers

Source: Company Reports, Anand Rathi Research, Ace Equity, Tata Strategic Report

Indian agrochemicals market will be driven by growth in herbicides and fungicides, increasing awareness towards judicious use of

agrochemicals, contract manufacturing and export opportunities. At present, per hectare consumption of pesticides in India is amongst the

lowest in the world and stands at 0.6 kg/ha against 5-7 kg/ha in the UK and ~ 13 kg/ha in China. With the increase in awareness and market

penetration, consumption is likely to improve in the near future.

Insecticides are the largest sub-segment of agrochemicals with 60% market share, whereas herbicides with16% market share are the fastest

growing segment in India. India is the fourth largest global producer of agrochemicals after the US, Japan and China. This segment

generated a value of USD 4.4 billion in FY15 and is expected to grow at 7.5% per annum to reach USD 6.3 billion by FY20. Approximately

50% of the demand comes from domestic consumers and the rest from exports. During the same period, the domestic demand is expected

to grow at 6.5% per annum and exports at 9% per annum.

Critical Challenges faced by India agriculture

High monsoon dependency;

Unpredictable weather patterns

Reduction in arable land;

Decreasing farm sizes;

Low per hectare yield

Increasing pest attacks

Strong fundamental growth drivers

Growing population leading to higher need for agri-output

Reduction in arable land due to increasing urbanization -focus on

yield/ productivity

Changing dietary preferences driving higher demand for protein and

nutrients

Food security is a key focus area for all countries

Intensification of agriculture in emerging markets

Post patent products have been gaining market share

Highly consolidated industry with the innovator companies (Syngenta, Bayer, BASF, Dow, Monsanto and DuPont) accounting for c.77% of the

conventional crop protection industry’s sales1in 2015. Innovators built economies of scale and focused on innovation with brands -barriers

for new entrants

Post patent players have been consolidating their position by acquisitions, entering into cooperative agreements with other Post patents,

acquiring brands from innovators etc. Post-patent players actively working on newer formulations, mixtures and combination products

which are gaining market share due to resistance issues.

The rate of new product introductions has been steadily declining over the last few years. Post patent products accounted for 58% of the

world markets in 2014 compared to 30% in 2000. Lower rate of introduction of new active ingredients. Several patented active ingredients

expected to go off patent form an attractive opportunity for post patent/off patent companies
