Acetochlor is the second largest herbicide only second to glyphosate in China. But different from glyphosate, the majority of Chinese acetochlor technical is converted into formulations for domestic market.

The application of acetochlor in herbicide mixed formulations is increasing. About 26.3% of mixed herbicides contained acetochlor in 2003. The ratio of acetochlor mixed formulation to single formulation during the period of 1992-1996 is 2.7:1. It is 4.8:1 during the period of 1997-2000, and 5.9:1 during the period of 2001-2003.

In recent years, the production of acetochlor, both technical and formulations, has been hampered because of high production cost, poor profit and planting decrease of corn and soybean. Many acetochlor producers stopped production in the past few years. There were only 17 active producers of acetochlor as of August 2004.

The production of acetochlor, both technical grade material and formulations, is large. But the annual output kept maintaining at about 30,000-35,000t/a in China.

Since 2000s, the percentage of acetochlor in herbicide market has increased rapidly because of its price advantage.
