The global stored grain insecticide market size reached USD 283.5 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 402.3 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.77% during 2025-2033. The increasing demand for grains across the globe, an enhanced focus on the reduction of post-harvest losses and the widespread adoption of the pest management solutions are some of the key factors driving the market.
A stored grain insecticide is an agricultural approach that involves the utilization of fumigant and contact pesticides to control and protect various stored grains from pests during the post-harvest period. It includes bio-insecticides, organophosphate, and pyrethroids, which are some of the standard product types. These variants are employed by farmers during the processing, development, and maturation phase of seeds as there are a higher chance that a large number of pests can attain access to crops, resulting in both qualitative and quantitative losses. These insects further lower the value of food grains, their protein content, nutritive values, and germination capacity. As a result, stored grain insecticide is extensively used with different chemical treatments in on-farm and off-farm operations to protect several grains, such as paddy, wheat, millet, barley, dried beans, corn, and cereals, from infestations.
An enhanced focus on reducing post-harvest losses represent one of the key factors driving the market toward growth. Additionally, the rising instances of insect manifestations during the post-harvest stage have facilitated the demand for stored grain insecticides in the agriculture sector, which is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Such effective insecticides are frequently used by framers as a suitable approach to mitigate the access of pests and insects, including khapra beetle, grain moth, and rice weevil in silos, grain bins, and warehouses, thus resulting in higher sales of warehouse insecticides. In line with this, the escalating need for enhanced insect and pest management solutions, including rodenticide traps, biological control, and heat treatments to avoid grain contamination, is favoring the market growth. Furthermore, the fueling food storage crises concerns amongst farmers have propelled numerous regulatory bodies to implement favorable initiatives and innovate different systems, which, in turn, are contributing to the market growth. This is further supported by the advent of high-tech grain storage silos that can be utilized to eliminate supply chain disruption. Apart from this, significant enhancements in the agricultural sector and the recent mergers and acquisitions (M&A) by key players to produce stored grain insecticides with enhanced efficacy are creating a positive outlook for the market growth. Other factors, such as significant expansion in the agricultural and allied sectors and the consistently increasing demand for grains across the globe, are creating a positive outlook for the market.
