Soil Fumigant Market Size, Growth, Forecast

Soil Fumigant Market Research, 2030

Soil Fumigant Market to surpass USD 647 billion by 2030 from USD 429.60 billion in 2020 at a CAGR of 5.02% in the coming years, i.e., 2021-30.

Soil Fumigant is a pre-plant pest control technology, where the soil is filled with gaseous fumigants in order to minimize pests in the soil. Soil fumigants target soil-borne pests and therefore have a considerable role in agriculture, nursery, and turbocharged cropland including nematodes, fungi, bacteria, weeds, and insects. Fumigant products deliver considerable sustainable and affordable ways to enhance plant yields in the agriculture industry regardless of geography. Fumigants are effective to overcome one or more pathogens' problems. Pathogens like nutsedge (weed) and root red (phytophthora) in tomatoes, for example, can be controlled by fumigant.

Market Highlights

Global Soil Fumigant market is expected to project a notable CAGR of 5.02 % in 2030.

The main drivers of global market in soil fumigants are surging instances of agricultural diseases, enhancing economic demand per hectare in production, growing overall production of cereals, and increasing emphasis on increasing the quality of agricultural output. Moreover, increasing soil fumigant adoption in developing economies like China, India, and others will provide new market opportunities for worldwide soil fumigants.

Global Soil Fumigant: Segments

Solid segment to grow with the highest CAGR during 2020-30

Global Soil Fumigant market is segmented by form into solid, liquid, and gas. Solid shape includes the use of mosquito and other pest control by pellets and tablets. Solid shape due to its ease of sprinkling and its reduced risk of gas exposure, it is the safest of the three types. Liquid form provides solutions for the elimination of molds, insects, and pests. They are normally sprayed with traditional sprayers over the desired area.

3- Dichloropropene segment to grow with the highest CAGR during 2020-30

Global Soil Fumigant is divided by product into Methyl bromide, Phosphine, Chloropicrin, Metam sodium, 3- Dichloropropene, and Others. 1,3-dichloropropenis is a significant fumigant and a feasible biomethane replacement (MeBr). In comparison to bromomethane, 1,3-dichloropropene exhibits a lower vapor pressure and kH, slower deterioration, and high sorption coefficients. Ultimately, a greater absorption rate would make the compound more persistent in the soil.

Market Dynamics

Drivers

Reduces post-harvest loss

The fumigation for pest control reduces post-harvest losses. For example, ammonia gas fumigation controls the deterioration of citrus after harvest. The ammonia gas fumigation of lemons and oranges significantly reduces the post-harvest green mold and black mold, which is caused by the Penicillium digitatum and the Penicillium italicum respectively. This therapy does not harm oranges but allows the tissue on the crust of lemons to become dark in color in previously damaged areas. The spraying of ammonia lemons marginally speeds the transition from green to yellow of the natural color of the crust. Thus, fumigation technology helps to avoid the loss of agricultural products after harvest. The cleaning of storage rooms, silos, or warehouses also contributes to fumigation. This is used in pre-harvest cleaning for grain storage as a further preventive process.

Surging instances of agricultural diseases

Restraint

Stringent rules and regulation

Stringent rules and regulation, growing tolerance and proposed ban for methyl bromide, Unstable nature as well as potential hazards of the applications along with accumulation of residue during fumigation is likely to act as market restraints to the growth of the soil fumigant market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

global Soil Fumigant Market was valued at USD 429.6 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 647 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.02% during 2021–2030.

Soil fumigants are gaseous chemicals used before planting to eliminate soil-borne pests such as nematodes, fungi, bacteria, weeds, and insects. They are applied to the soil to enhance crop yield, improve soil health, and reduce pest-related losses.

Asia-Pacific region holds the largest market share, driven by rising food demand and agricultural modernization in countries like China and India. North America and Europe follow, supported by advanced farming practices and strict agricultural standards.

main types include Methyl Bromide, Phosphine, Chloropicrin, Metam Sodium, and 1,3-Dichloropropene. Among these, 1,3-Dichloropropene is gaining popularity as an eco-friendlier alternative to methyl bromide.

Some soil fumigants can lead to chemical residue accumulation, air pollution, and ozone depletion (especially with methyl bromide). As a result, governments have implemented strict regulations and monitoring protocols to control their usage.
