Agricultural Fumigants Market Analysis - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends and Forecast, 2018 - 2026

Introduction

Growing global population promoted acceptance of better-quality methods for agricultural practices to shield agricultural produce, rodents, nematodes, soil from pests, soil insects, moles, etc. Agricultural fumigants are utilized in both, pre-harvest and post-harvest techniques. In pre-harvesting, fumigants are injected into the soil to destroy grains, fungi or pests in crops. In post-harvesting method, it is used to reduce any damage caused to harvested crops from termites, insects, bugs, by filling the empty spaces with toxic gases.

Market Dynamics

Growing focus to decrease post-harvest losses, and rising usage of fumigants for manufacturing and storage of cereals are some of the key factors driving the growth of this market. However, numerous region-specific guidelines on the use of agricultural fumigants by several governing bodies is acting as a restraining factor in this market. In addition, gathering of residue on grains and recommended prohibition on methyl bromide are also expected to hinder the growth of this market. Nonetheless, growing agricultural production is expected to offer new avenues for agricultural fumigants in the near future.

Market Classification

The market can be bifurcated on the basis of product type, application, crop type, pest control method, and geography. By product type, agricultural fumigants market can be classified into methyl bromide, phosphine, chloropicrin, metam sodium, 1, 3- dichloropropene and others. By application, agricultural fumigants market can be segmented into soil and warehouse. On the basis of crop type, agricultural fumigants market can be divided into cereals & grains, oilseeds & pulses, fruits & vegetables and others.
