Agricultural Fumigants Market 2025 Size Analysis, Sales and Growth Rate

Agricultural Fumigants Industry

The global agricultural fumigants market is projected to reach USD 1.65 billion by 2030, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The major driving factors for this growth include the rising global demand for chloropicrin, 1,3-dichloropropene, phosphine, and metam sodium, which are key fumigants used in agriculture.

Due to the hazardous nature of many fumigants, particularly dimethyl sulfide and chloropicrin, it is recommended that professional applicators handle them. In countries where agriculture is a primary sector, applicators are often appointed by the government or designated by manufacturers based on the availability and nature of the fumigants being applied.

The crucial role these fumigants play in minimizing post-harvest losses is expected to be a key factor in driving the market. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over one-third of food is lost or wasted due to improper storage conditions. Reducing these losses could help alleviate the pressure on the agriculture industry to meet the increasing dietary demands of a growing global population. Additionally, minimizing post-harvest waste could reduce the need to exploit other natural resources in agriculture.

Fumigants classified as insecticides have been approved by the WHO for use in the storage of food grains. The WHO regularly conducts annual reviews to assess the toxicity of both existing and newly introduced fumigants. In the post-harvest phase, which includes storage and transportation, fumigants are essential for reducing storage-related losses, thereby ensuring better preservation of agricultural products.
