Grain fumigants are noxious gases employed to eliminate soil worms and protect stored goods, especially grains, from spoilage. These fumigants exhibit a high level of efficacy in eradicating pests and possess the capability to penetrate deeply into grain storage structures, effectively reaching concealed pests.
The primary types of grain fumigant products include methyl bromide, phosphine, sulfuryl fluoride, and others. Methyl bromide is a gaseous toxic substance (CH3Br) primarily utilized as a fumigant to control insects, worms, and rodents. Grain fumigants find application across various crop types, including fruits and vegetables, cereals and grains, oilseeds and pulses, and others, catering to a range of applications in both residential and commercial settings.
The grain fumigants market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides grain fumigants market statistics, including grain fumigants industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a grain fumigants market share, detailed grain fumigants market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the grain fumigants industry. This grain fumigants market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The grain fumigants market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from$1.85 billion in 2024 to $1.94 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to pest management practices, globalization of agricultural trade, development of fumigant formulations, expansion of stored grain storage, and pest resistance challenges
The grain fumigants market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.52 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing global food demand, stricter regulatory compliance, environmental sustainability, global trade expansion, rise in post-harvest losses. Major trends in the forecast period include research and development initiatives, preference for residue-free solutions, focus on food safety and quality, development of resistant pest strains, and demand for post-harvest pest control.
The upward trajectory in consumer demand for grains is playing a significant role in propelling the growth of the grain fumigants market. Grains, encompassing the seeds or fruits of various food plants used commercially, are subject to protection from insect and rodent infestations through the use of grain fumigants, ensuring the quality of stored grains for future consumption. The surge in grain demand is evident in a February 2023 report from the Centre for the Promotion of Imports from developing countries (CBI), a Netherlands-based government agency, revealing a rise in the value of European imports of grains to $23.81 million in 2021. This increase in grain demand is a driving force behind the growth of the grain fumigants market.
The expanding agriculture sector is anticipated to drive the growth of the grain fumigants market in the future. The agriculture sector, also referred to as agribusiness, includes all activities associated with land cultivation, crop production, and animal husbandry for the purpose of generating food, raw materials, and other agricultural products. As the agriculture sector expands, there is an increasing demand for grain fumigants, which are crucial for maintaining the quality of harvested grains, ensuring food security, and complying with the standards of a modern, global agricultural landscape. For example, in February 2024, the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs, a UK government agency, reported that agriculture contributed £13.9 billion ($17.4 billion) to the UK economy in gross value added at basic prices in 2022, which represented 0.6% of GDP. This reflects an increase of £1.8 billion ($2.25 billion) in GVA compared to 2021. Therefore, the growth of the agriculture sector is propelling the expansion of the grain fumigants market.
The growing incidence of pest infestations is anticipated to boost the expansion of the grain fumigants market in the future. Pest infestation involves the emergence and spread of undesired organisms, including insects, rodents, and other animals, within a specific area, resulting in damage to property, crops, or the health of humans and other living beings. Several factors contribute to the rise in pest infestations, such as climate change, globalization, and urbanization, which create ideal conditions for pests to flourish and expand. Grain fumigants effectively address a range of pests, including insects, fungi, and rodents, enabling the eradication of multiple threats in one treatment. For example, in April 2024, a report from Direct Line Group, a UK-based insurance firm, highlighted a significant increase in residential calls for both cockroaches and bedbugs in 2023. Local councils noted a 23% rise in bedbug-related visits, increasing from 11,819 in 2022 to 14,587. Likewise, call-outs for cockroaches grew by 3%, from 8,455 to 8,706 visits compared to the previous year. Consequently, the surge in pest outbreaks is propelling the growth of the grain fumigants market moving forward.
A notable trend gaining traction is the emphasis on product innovations by major companies. Companies are actively engaged in developing innovative solutions to maintain their market positions. For example, in July 2022, Bayer Malawi Ltd., based in Malawi, introduced K-Obiol, a crop protection product for storage, providing maize protection from the grain borer for up to six months. This cutting-edge technology has been proven effective worldwide, allowing a single 200-gram bottle to shield six bags, each weighing 50 kilograms, for the entire six-month period.
Major players in the grain fumigants market are adopting a strategic partnership approach to collaboratively develop sustainable and cost-effective pest control solutions using ethyl formate. Strategic partnerships involve leveraging each other's strengths and resources for mutual benefits. In May 2023, Cooperative Bulk Handling Ltd. (CBH Group), an Australia-based grain growers' cooperative, collaborated with Universal Biosecurity Ltd. (UBL), an Australia-based grain fumigants provider, aiming to expand CBH's range of environmentally friendly insect treatment alternatives. The partnership seeks to align with customer and market expectations regarding chemical residues in grain, fostering the joint pursuit of cutting-edge, sustainable technological solutions with potential commercial applications in various global markets.
