Agricultural Fumigants Market size was valued at USD 2,983.02 Million in 2024, expanding to a CAGR of 4.59% from 2025 to 2032.
Agricultural fumigants are chemical compounds used to control pests, pathogens, weeds, and other harmful organisms in soil, stored grains, and agricultural produce. They are typically applied as gases, vapors, or volatile liquids that penetrate the target area, eliminating pests before dissipating.
Agricultural Fumigants Market- Market Dynamics
Growing demand from the food industry, the need for high crop yield and adoption of precision farming practices is expected to propel market demand
The market for agricultural fumigants is influenced by various factors, the need for higher crop yields, food security concerns, technological advancements in farming practices. To meet this growing need, farmers must maximize agricultural output while maintaining soil health and reducing post-harvest losses. Agricultural fumigants help in controlling pests and soilborne diseases, ensuring high-quality yields and better crop productivity. As arable land becomes limited, intensive farming practices become necessary. The adoption of high yield farming techniques often requires soil fumigation to eliminate pathogens and nematodes that hinder plant growth. This growing need to increase productivity is a significant driver for the agricultural fumigants market.
As the agricultural sector moves toward intensive farming and precision agriculture, the demand for advanced pest control solutions is increasing. Intensive farming requires high-input methods such as irrigation, fertilizers, and pesticides, which, in turn, create a conducive environment for pests and diseases. Precision fumigation techniques, such as aerial fumigation, automated injection systems, and controlled-release fumigants, are gaining popularity. These advancements reduce the environmental impact of fumigation while ensuring effective pest management. The development of eco-friendly and bio-based fumigants has contributed to market growth. Traditional fumigants like methyl bromide have been restricted due to their ozone-depleting properties, leading to innovations in safer alternatives.
