The United Nations projects the worldwide population to increase from 8.2 Billion in 2024 to 10.3 Billion by the mid-2080s, marking continued demographic expansion over the next 50-60 years. Protecting stored grains, fruits, and vegetables from pest infestations is crucial in reducing post-harvest losses and maintaining food availability. Fumigants are widely used in warehouses, silos, and shipping containers to prevent spoilage during storage and transport. Increasing trade of agricultural commodities also drives demand for fumigation as an essential measure to meet global phytosanitary regulations. As governments and organizations push for improved food preservation techniques, the agricultural fumigants market is expected to expand.
Regulatory and Environmental Factors
Stringent government regulations on chemical pesticide use have driven innovation in the fumigants market. For instance, in March 2024, the governments of Ecuador, India, Kenya, Laos, Philippines, Uruguay, and Vietnam united to initiate a $379 million project to address pollution caused by plastics and pesticides in agriculture. Chemicals are essential in agriculture, as approximately 4 billion tons of pesticides and 12 billion kg of farming plastics are utilized annually. Many traditional fumigants, such as methyl bromide, have been banned or restricted due to their ozone-depleting properties and health concerns. This has led to the development of eco-friendly and bio-based fumigants, which comply with environmental standards while still offering effective pest control. Additionally, regulatory bodies like the EPA (U.S.), EFSA (Europe), and FAO (global) enforce stringent guidelines on fumigant residue levels and application methods, influencing market dynamics. Companies are increasingly investing in safer, sustainable alternatives to align with these evolving regulations.
Technological Advancements and Adoption of Bio-Based Fumigants
