Agricultural Fumigants Market To Reach $1.65 Billion By 2030

Agricultural Fumigants Market Growth & Trends

The global agricultural fumigants market size is estimated to reach USD 1.65 billion by 2030, registering to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2025 to 2030 according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing demand of chloropicrin, 1,3-dichloropropene, phosphine, and metam sodium globally are the key driving forces for the market.

It is recommended to have professional applicators due to the hazardous characteristics of majority of the fumigants, especially dimethyl sulfide and chloropicrin. In economies that are majorly dependent on agricultural services and practices, the applicators are more often than not, government-appointed, or manufacturer deputed depending upon the nature of availability.

The importance of these products in reducing post-harvest losses is anticipated to be a key driver for the agricultural fumigants market. According to a report submitted by the World Health Organization (WHO), it has been observed that over one-third of food is wasted or lost due to improper storage. Reducing these losses may lower the pressure on agriculture industry to meet the dietary requirements of a growing population. Moreover, it shall also reduce the exploitation of other sustainable natural resources.

Fumigants that belong to the family of insecticides have been approved for the storage of food grains by the World Health Organization. The organization also carries out annual reviews to assess the toxicity of the existing products as well as the new products introduced in the market. The post-harvest phase, including storage and transportation, involves the use of fumigants for reducing storage losses.
