DJI's US Business Faces Shutdown Risk, 80% Market Share Could Be Taken by Local Companies

DJI faces significant risks in the U.S. agricultural spraying drone market. If the U.S. government fails to complete a mandatory national security review by December 23rd, DJI could be placed on the FCC's "Covered List." This would prevent the launch of new DJI models in the U.S. and could lead to the revocation of sales authorization for existing models. DJI currently holds approximately an 80% market share. This regulatory uncertainty is already fostering new market entrants, such as American Autonomy Inc., which is working to partner with domestic manufacturers to provide alternative software and hardware solutions, aiming to capture the potential market gap left by DJI.

EFSA's New Draft Regulation Imminent: Unified Standards for Pesticide Emergency Authorizations, Enterprises Need to Prepare for Compliance in Advance

Recently, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) officially released a draft methodology for the evaluation of emergency authorizations for insecticides and acaricides, comprehensively regulating the application process for "emergency authorizations" stipulated in Article 53 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market. This policy adjustment will profoundly impact the market access and operations of pesticide enterprises in the EU, and relevant entities must pay close attention and proactively plan response strategies.

Registration Status of Pesticides for Cotton in China in 2024 and Its Industrial Correlation Analysis

As an important economic crop in China, the development of the cotton industry plays a crucial role in the agricultural economy. Among them, the Xinjiang cotton industry occupies a core position in the country. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2024, the sown area of cotton in Xinjiang reached 2.4479 million hectares, with a yield of 5.686 million tons, accounting for 86.25% and 92.25% of the national total sown area and total yield of cotton respectively, making it a key region determining the national cotton production capacity. Pesticides, as important production materials for preventing and controlling diseases and pests and regulating growth in the cotton production process, their registration management and application directly relate to the high-quality and efficient development of the cotton industry. China implements a pesticide registration management strategy that emphasizes both safety and efficacy. Combined with the characteristics of the cotton growth period, pesticide application is concentrated from April to August, covering multiple types of products such as herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, plant growth regulators, and defoliants/ripening agents, with a high frequency of application. For example, the number of applications for controlling cotton aphids can reach 6-10 times, and in some areas with severe aphid infestations, the number exceeds 10 times, which fully reflects the core supporting role of pesticides in cotton production.

Interpretation of EFSA's Report on Common Issues in Pesticide Evaluation: Key Guidelines for EU Market Access

In September 2025, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) released the technical report "Outcomes of the Peer Review Meeting on Common Issues Related to Physicochemical Properties and Analytical Methods of Pesticides", which serves as a crucial wake-up call for enterprises seeking to enter the EU pesticide market. This report systematically collates the core discussions of the 29th Pesticide Peer Review Meeting (held on November 22-23, 2023), focusing on high-frequency issues in key areas such as active substance identification, impurity profiles, and more. As the core scientific assessment body for EU pesticide active substance approval, EFSA's conclusions directly determine whether a substance can be approved for entry into the EU market, making this report an invaluable guide for enterprises to avoid registration risks.

U.S. EPA Optimizes PFAS Reporting Regulations: Striking a Balance Between Burden Reduction and Risk Control

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are widely used in industrial production and daily life due to their excellent properties such as heat resistance and water repellency. However, their environmental persistence and potential health risks have also made them a focus of global environmental regulation. Recently, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued an important proposal, intending to targeted optimize the reporting and regulatory scope of PFAS in accordance with the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The aim is to inject a more pragmatic governance logic into the PFAS regulatory system by eliminating redundant reporting requirements, clarifying exemption scenarios, and other measures, while reducing the compliance burden on enterprises and ensuring the effective acquisition of key safety information.

Regulatory Transformation of Crop Protection Products in India and Southeast Asia: Compliance Opportunities and Action Guidelines for Enterprises

Currently, the regulatory environment for crop protection products in India and Southeast Asia is undergoing accelerated transformation, with biological products such as biopesticides and biostimulants becoming the core focus of regulation. Regulatory authorities in various countries are strengthening full-chain quality control, unifying data standards, and promoting the coordination of Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) and trade facilitation, forming a new pattern characterized by "strict standards, strong supervision, and enhanced coordination". For enterprises, the next 12-18 months represent a critical window of opportunity. Enterprises that proactively invest in data integrity, digital filing, and regulatory intelligence building can achieve a new product registration pass rate 40% higher than their peers, thereby gaining significant market advantages.
