Agricultural Fumigants Market Analysis

The Agricultural Fumigants Market size is estimated at USD 2.58 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 3.38 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.60% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

The global agricultural fumigant market is experiencing significant growth, driven by the need for effective pest control solutions in both pre- and post-harvest stages. Agricultural fumigants protect crops from pests, pathogens, and weeds, ensuring better yield and quality. These products prevent post-harvest losses and preserve the nutritional value of stored crops, making them essential in modern agricultural practices.

The rising global demand for food, driven by population growth and urbanization, is a primary market driver. The United Nations projects the global population to reach approximately 9.7 billion by 2050, requiring a 70% increase in food production. Agricultural fumigants help achieve this goal by minimizing crop losses due to pest infestations. They also enhance storage conditions for grains, fruits, and vegetables, extending shelf life and reducing food waste, which is essential for food security and meeting export requirements.

The Asia-Pacific region is the fastest-growing market due to extensive agricultural activities and high demand for stored grains and cereals. Countries like India, China, and Indonesia depend on fumigants to maintain crop quality during storage and transportation. According to FAOSTATS, cereal production in Asia increased to 1.52 billion metric tons in 2023 from 1.49 billion metric tons in 2022. In North America and Europe, strict food safety regulations, increasing consumption demand, and advanced storage infrastructure drive fumigant adoption. The USDA reports that rice consumption in the United States increased to 5,144 thousand metric tons in 2023 from 4,607 thousand metric tons in 2022. Latin America and Africa are emerging as significant markets due to expanding agricultural exports and increasing pest control awareness.

Improvements in fumigation equipment enhance application efficiency and precision. These innovations reduce waste, improve safety, and ensure uniform distribution. The adoption of precision agriculture and integrated pest management (IPM) has increased the demand for agricultural fumigants. Government initiatives support market growth through trade enhancement measures. For example, in June 2022, the South African government signed the Protocol of Phytosanitary Requirements for soybean exports to China. Hence. the global agricultural fumigant market continues to expand, supported by increasing food demand, advances in farming practices, and efforts to reduce post-harvest losses.
