亞太殺軟體動物劑市場：市場佔有率分析、產業趨勢與成長預測（2025-2030 年）

亞太地區殺軟體動物劑市場規模預計在 2025 年為 2.907 億美元，預計到 2030 年將達到 3.541 億美元，預測期內（2025-2030 年）的複合年成長率為 4.02%。

由於葉面噴布作用迅速，在殺軟體動物劑的使用上佔據主導地位。

• 蛞蝓和蝸牛以多種闊葉植物和草類為食，包括大多數作物和多種雜草。它們會殺死幼苗、阻礙幼苗生長以及損壞幼苗的葉子，從而危害作物。因此，蛞蝓管理對於提高易感作物的產量至關重要。 2022 年亞太地區殺軟體動物劑市場價值為 2.563 億美元，預計預測期結束時將達到 3.436 億美元。
• 棕色花園蝸牛、非洲大蝸牛、稻田蛞蝓、中國蛞蝓和水龜蛞蝓是一些主要的蛞蝓和蝸牛物種，它們會對亞太地區的作物生產造成重大挑戰。常用的殺軟體動物劑有四聚乙醛、磷酸亞鐵、甲硫威、乙二胺四乙酸鐵鈉等。
• 殺軟體動物劑有多種使用方法。在亞太地區，葉面噴布將佔據殺軟體動物劑應用領域的主導地位，到 2022 年將佔據 54.8% 的最大市場佔有率。葉面噴布殺軟體動物劑可以快速控制軟體動物族群。當殺軟體動物劑施用於葉子上時，害蟲在接觸到殺軟體動物劑後很容易吸收它。這將使它們很快就會死去。
• 2022年亞太殺軟體動物劑市場中，土壤處理佔第二大市場佔有率，為30.4%。近期，高可濕性粉末、顆粒和誘餌的開發趨勢正在推動土壤處理的發展，這些產品的穩定性、黏附性以及對蝸牛和蛞蝓的吸引力都有所提高。預計預測期內（2023-2029 年），市場複合年成長率為 4.1%。

水稻等主要作物對殺軟體動物劑的需求不斷增加，推動了市場

• 亞太地區殺軟體動物劑市場在過去一段時間內一直保持穩定成長，預計到 2022 年將佔據全球殺軟體動物劑市場第二大佔有率，以金額為準26.0%。
• 在亞洲，蝸牛養殖失敗了，因為蝸牛會破壞正在生長的水稻作物，造成嚴重的經濟損失，因為水稻是該地區的主要食物和收入來源。福壽螺（Pomacea canaliculata）被引進亞洲國家，並意外地發展成水稻害蟲。大多數農民依靠化學控制，包括使用殺軟體動物劑，並採用綜合蝸牛管理措施。
• 米是亞洲迄今為止最重要的作物，全球 90% 的產量和消費量都發生在該地區。亞太地區是全球米等主食穀物的最大出口地和生產地，因此殺軟體動物劑在該地區穀物和穀類食品中被廣泛使用。到 2022 年，該部分的以金額為準佔有率將達到 55.5%。
• 同樣，該地區軟體動物對水果作物的攻擊也有所增加，導致農民採用化學防治方法來保護作物。 2022 年，水果和蔬菜的以金額為準佔比為 17.5%。
• 該地區迫切需要控制策略，但研究人員指出，農民需要對蝸牛生態有適當的了解，才能採取適當的殺軟體動物劑應用策略。同時，由於政府的舉措和製造商的技術創新，該地區的殺軟體動物劑市場預計在預測期內（2023-2029 年）以 4.2% 的複合年成長率成長。

亞太地區殺軟體動物劑市場趨勢

軟體動物族群增加導致每公頃擴散率增加

• 日本將是每公頃殺軟體動物劑消費量最高的國家，到2022年將達到100.0克。蝸牛是日本常見的害蟲，會為害多種作物。然而，入侵的蘋果蝸牛對日本，尤其是九州地區的水稻種植構成了重大威脅。蘋果蝸牛被認為是直播水稻種植的一大障礙。為了解決這個問題，農民擴大使用殺軟體動物劑和驅蟲劑，這已被證明是減少蘋果蝸牛侵擾影響的有效策略。
• 澳洲是亞太地區每公頃使用殺軟體動物劑最多的國家，2022 年每公頃使用量為 13.2 克。非洲大蝸牛（Lissachatina fulica）被認為是澳洲的主要害蟲，因為它繁殖迅速，以多種植物為食，包括農作物、觀賞植物和本地植物。它們貪婪的胃口對花園、農作物和自然棲息地造成了廣泛的破壞，並帶來了嚴重的經濟損失。
• 2022 年，菲律賓、越南和中國是殺軟劑的最大使用者，用量分別為每公頃 9.9 克、8.4 克和 7.1 克。根據國際稻米實驗室介紹，福壽螺對這些國家的水稻生產構成了重大威脅，因為它會從根部折斷稻稈，毀掉整株稻株，使產量減少高達 50％，尤其是在灌溉田。
• 像福壽螺這樣的蝸牛生長和繁殖都很快，因此很難控制，導致亞太國家增加了殺軟體動物劑的使用。

市場的主要促進因素包括殺蟲劑的使用增加和亞洲稻田中福壽螺的侵擾。

• 蛞蝓通常在土壤表面上方和下方進食，破壞種子、嫩芽和根。對於某些作物來說，主要問題出現在種植時，而其他問題可能出現在生長季節或收穫期間。這些軟體動物是農業的主要威脅之一，造成巨大的損失。這些物種主要存在於穀類和園藝作物中，例如小麥、大麥和燕麥。 Deroceras、Milax、Tandonia、Limax和Arion被認為是對農作物造成經濟損失的重要軟體動物。
• 甲醛可作為田地、花園和溫室中多種蔬菜和作物的殺軟體動物劑。它以液體、顆粒、撒播劑、粉末和顆粒狀/顆粒狀誘餌的形式使用，以殺死蛞蝓和蝸牛。 2022 年甲醛價格為每噸 52,500 美元。
• 磷酸鐵是一種用於穀物、油菜籽、馬鈴薯和多種園藝作物的殺軟體動物劑，2022 年其價值為每噸 52,000 美元。磷酸鐵會抑制蛞蝓體內的鈣代謝，最終導致蛞蝓的作物和肝臟胰腺發生細胞病理學變化。這個過程從進食到死亡一般需要3-6天左右。
• 該市場的主要促進因素包括殺蟲劑的使用增加、對高價值園藝作物的需求不斷成長以及亞洲稻田中蘋果蝸牛的侵擾。此外，農民對殺軟體動物劑控制意識的不斷增強以及創新殺軟體動物劑產品的引入預計將在預測期內為該市場提供成長機會。

亞太地區殺軟體動物劑產業概況

亞太地區殺軟體動物劑市場較為分散，前五大公司佔了14.89%的市佔率。該市場的主要企業包括 American Vanguard Corporation、Arxada、Nufarm Ltd、PI Industries 和 UPL Limited。

The Asia Pacific Molluscicide Market size is estimated at 290.7 million USD in 2025, and is expected to reach 354.1 million USD by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.02% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

Foliar application dominates molluscicide applications owing to its quick action

• Slugs and snails eat a wide array of broadleaf plants and grasses, including most crops and many weeds. They harm crops by killing seedlings, causing poor stands, and damaging leaves on young plants. Hence, the management of slugs is of utmost importance to get better yields in the susceptible crops. The Asia-Pacific molluscicide market was valued at USD 256.3 million in 2022 and is anticipated to reach USD 343.6 million by the end of the forecast period.
• Brown garden snails, giant African snails, rice field slugs, Chinese slugs, and keelback slugs are some of the major slug and snail species that can pose significant challenges to crop production in Asia-Pacific. Metaldehyde, iron phosphate, methiocarb, and sodium ferric EDTA are commonly used molluscicides.
• Molluscicides can be applied through different methods. In Asia-Pacific, foliar application dominated in molluscicide application, accounting for the largest market share of 54.8% in 2022. Foliar-applied molluscicides can provide quick control of mollusk populations. When sprayed onto the foliage, the molluscicides can be readily absorbed by the pests as they come into contact with it. This can lead to rapid mortality.
• Soil treatment accounted for the second largest market share of 30.4% of the Asia-Pacific molluscicide market in 2022. Recent advances in the development of enhanced wettable powders, granules, and bait formulations with improved stability, adherence, and attractiveness to snails and slugs will drive the soil treatment. The market is anticipated to register a CAGR of 4.1% during the forecast period (2023-2029).

Increased need for molluscicides in major crops like rice is driving the market

• The molluscicides market in Asia-Pacific witnessed steady growth during the historical period, with the region occupying the second-highest share of 26.0% by value of the global molluscicide market in 2022.
• Snail farming failed in Asia as snails destroyed the growing rice crops, causing severe economic losses as rice farms are the region's major source of food and income. The golden apple snail, Pomacea canaliculata, has been introduced to several Asian countries, where it has unexpectedly developed into a rice pest. Most farmers have resorted to chemical control, including the use of molluscicides, and have adopted integrated snail management practices.
• Rice is by far the most important crop throughout Asia, where 90% of the world's production and consumption occurs in this region. Molluscicides are mostly used in grains and cereals in Asia-Pacific as the region is the largest exporter and producer of staple grains such as rice. The segment occupied a share of 55.5% by value in 2022.
• Similarly, mollusk attacks on fruit crops have also been on the rise in the region, leading to farmers adopting chemical control methods to protect their crops. Fruits and vegetables occupied a share of 17.5% by value in 2022.
• Although control strategies are urgently needed in the region, researchers have suggested that farmers must have a sound knowledge of the ecology of snails to adopt the right application strategy for molluscicides. At the same time, initiatives by governments of various countries and innovations by manufacturers are expected to drive the molluscicide market in the region at a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period (2023-2029).

Asia Pacific Molluscicide Market Trends

The increasing mollusk population is leading to higher application per hectare

• Japan is the largest per hectare consumer of molluscicides, with 100.0 grams in 2022. Snails are common pests that feed on a wide range of crops in Japan. However, the apple snail, an invasive species, poses a significant threat to rice cultivation in Japan, particularly in Kyushu. It is considered a major hindrance to the adoption of direct-sowing practices in rice farming. To address this problem, the use of molluscicides and repellents by farmers has increased and proven to be an effective strategy in mitigating the impact caused by the apple snail invasion.
• Australia is by far the second-highest per hectare consumer of molluscicides in Asia-Pacific, with 13.2 grams per hectare in 2022. African giant snail (Lissachatina fulica) is considered a major pest in Australia due to its ability to reproduce rapidly and feed on a wide range of plants, including crops, ornamental plants, and native vegetation. It has a voracious appetite and can cause significant damage to gardens, crops, and natural habitats, leading to severe economic losses.
• The Philippines, Vietnam, and China were other prominent countries using molluscicides at the rate of 9.9 grams, 8.4 grams, and 7.1 grams per hectare, respectively, in 2022. Golden apple snails are the major threat to rice production in these countries as they cut the rice stem at the base, destroying the whole plant and leading to annual yield losses of up to 50%, especially in irrigated rice fields, according to the International Rice Research Institute.
• Few of the snail species like golden apple snails can grow and reproduce quickly, making it very difficult to control, leading to higher usage of molluscicides in the countries of Asia-Pacific.

The major drivers for this market include the increasing adoption of agrochemicals and the infestation of golden apple snails in the rice fields of Asia

• Slugs usually feed above and below the soil surface, damaging seeds, shoots, and roots. In some crops, the main problem time is at planting, while in others, problems occur during the growing season or harvest. These mollusk species have become one of the major threats causing huge agricultural losses. These species are majorly seen in cereal crops such as wheat, barley, oats, and horticultural crops. Deroceras, Milax, Tandonia, Limax, and Arion are recognized as important mollusks causing economic losses in the crops.
• Metaldehyde is a molluscicide used in a variety of vegetables and crops in fields, gardens, and greenhouses. It is applied in the form of liquid, granules, sprays, dust, or pelleted/grain bait to kill slugs and snails. Metaldehyde was valued at USD 52.5 thousand per metric ton in 2022.
• Ferric phosphate is a molluscicide for use in cereals, oilseed rape, potatoes, and a wide range of horticultural crops and was valued at USD 52.0 thousand per metric ton in 2022. Iron phosphate interferes with the calcium metabolism within the slug and eventually causes cellular pathological changes in the slug's crop and hepatopancreas. This process from feeding to dying normally takes about three to six days.
• The major drivers for this market include increasing adoption of agrochemicals, rising demand for high-value horticulture crops, and infestation of golden apple snails in the rice fields of Asia. Further, increasing awareness of mollusk control among farmers and the introduction of innovative molluscicide products are expected to create growth opportunities for this market during the forecast period.
