Key drivers

Important Agricultural Fumigants Market Drivers

Agricultural Fumigants Market is primarily driven by surge in the infestation of pest and insects in crop storage facilities, increasing concerns related to food security worldwide, rising population growth rates and growing awareness amongst consumers about crop protection chemicals. Over the years, world’s population has grown exponentially. As per the latest report published by United Nations, world’s population was estimated to be around 7.3 billion in 2015, and world is expected to add over 1 billion people between 2015 to 2030.

With the increasing agriculture production, the demand for agricultural fumigants will increase over the next seven years. For instance, FAO projected that agriculture production will increase by 70% by 2050 and demand for agriculture crops is expected to increase to 6,759 Million by 2050 in order to meet increasing demand for food. This is further expected to propel the market growth of agricultural fumigants across the globe.

Surge in global population coupled with increasing per capita incomes of consumers in many countries, has caused dietary changes in consumers eating habit. Consumers are preferring to eat more protein and meat related products, which is primarily the main reason, accelerating the global food demand. As per our analysis, the food demand is projected to increase between 55% to 95% by 2050. To meet the food demand, farmers need to enhance their productivity on agricultural land by using adequate fertilizers, fumigants to protect crop losses from pest attacks and irrigation system. These developments are expected to create growth opportunities for Agricultural Fumigants Market in the forthcoming years.

In addition, rising focus of farmers on reducing post-harvest losses and improving the quality of agricultural output, innovations in the storage technologies and changing farming practices around the world, are supplementing the market growth. Post-harvest losses are negatively affecting farmers profitability and food availability. Hygiene related problems during handling, and improper management of temperature and humidity, are some of the root causes of post-harvest. According to the report published by National Library of Medicine (NLM), almost USD 1.3 billion ton of food, which is worth around USD 1 trillion, is lost worldwide during post-harvest operations. These food losses can be prevented by using fumigation technologies for cleaning storage areas, warehouses and silos.

Based on Product Type, Phosphine segment is projected to dominate the market.

Phosphine based agricultural fumigants are increasingly applied in closed warehouses to protect crop from pest attacks. In addition, phosphine is gaining popularity in the Agricultural Fumigants Market because it can easily diffuse into bulk of stored grains and can actively perform fumigation post-application, for more than one week, which are propelling the segment’s growth.

Warehouse segment is forecast to grow at fastest rate.

Warehousing plays a critical role in the agricultural industry, many farmers around the world, uses warehouse facilities for storing their agricultural produce. Fumigants are increasingly used in warehouses to maintain crop’s quality and productivity. Different types of pest control services are deployed to protect infrastructure and stored food from insects, nematodes, and pests.

Structural is estimated to be the fastest growing segment.

Structural fumigation is considered as one of the most-effective solution as it seals the entire area, so that fumigants can properly function. Structural fumigation is increasingly used to eliminate the transfer of toxic organisms during the processing of goods, which is accelerating the segment’s growth.
