According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Agricultural Fumigants Market is accounted for $2.64 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $3.78 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period. Agricultural fumigants are chemicals that are used to eradicate weeds, nematodes, fungi, and insects that pose a threat to agricultural productivity, thereby protecting crops, soil, and stored commodities from pests and diseases. The gaseous form of these fumigants is frequently used to deeply penetrate soil or storage spaces, making the environment uninhabitable for dangerous organisms. Moreover, in order to maintain crop quality, increase the shelf life of produce, and satisfy strict agricultural export requirements that demand pest-free produce, there is a global demand for these fumigants.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), fumigants are widely used to protect crops by controlling pests such as nematodes, weeds, and soil-borne pathogens. Soil fumigants like chloropicrin and 1,3-dichloropropene are commonly used on crops such as tomatoes and strawberries but also carry risks related to human and environmental health due to their toxic properties and volatile nature.
Requirement for crop protection
In agriculture, where losses from pests and diseases can sometimes amount to 40%, crop protection is crucial. Targeting a variety of pests, such as insects, nematodes, and pathogens, fumigants offer a complete solution. They are essential for farmers who want to safeguard their investments and guarantee high-quality produce because of their capacity to deeply penetrate soil and plant tissues, which guarantee comprehensive treatment. Additionally, the acceptance of fumigants as a dependable substitute is further fueled by growing awareness of pest resistance to conventional pesticides.
Health and environmental issues
There are serious health and environmental concerns with the use of agricultural fumigants. Beneficial insects, wildlife, and human populations are among the non-target organisms that many chemical fumigants can negatively impact. For instance, methyl bromide, a common fumigant, has been phased out under international agreements such as the Montreal Protocol because it has been found to be an ozone-depleting substance. Furthermore, a move toward sustainable agricultural methods is being prompted by the long-term environmental risks posed by the possibility of pesticide residues in food and soil contamination.
Growing consumer demand for sustainable and organic goods
There is an increasing demand for food that is produced sustainably and organically as consumers become more conscious of environmental and health issues.
