Warehouse Fumigants Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Warehouse Fumigants Market Analysis

The Warehouse Fumigants Market size is estimated at USD 1.44 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 1.88 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 5.40% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Warehouse fumigants are used to control and eliminate pests, insects, and other harmful organisms that can infest and damage stored commodities in warehouses. These fumigants protect agricultural products, grains, and various other goods during storage and transportation. The increasing crop losses due to pest infestations are driving market growth. According to the NABCONS Study 2022, pulses experience 5.65% to 6.74% post-harvest loss in India, with warehouse pest attacks being a significant factor. The growing global population has increased the need for expanded crop production, necessitating more warehouses for storing surplus produce during off-season periods. The increasing number of warehouses supports market growth.

According to FAOSTAT, global wheat production increased from 772.7 million metric tons in 2021 to 808.4 million metric tons in 2022. This rise in crop production worldwide supports increased exports from various countries. International trade of agricultural commodities requires proper storage and pest control solutions to maintain product quality and safety during transportation and storage. Warehouse fumigants fulfill these requirements, contributing to market growth.

Government and regulatory bodies have implemented strict regulations on fumigant use to ensure safe and responsible usage. While these regulations may limit market growth, they have encouraged the development of safer and more eco-friendly warehouse fumigant alternatives. Common warehouse fumigants include phosphine, methyl bromide, sulfuryl fluoride, and aluminum phosphide. However, methyl bromide usage has been phased out or restricted in many countries due to its ozone-depleting properties. The expanding warehouse facilities globally and increasing pest incidence continue to drive market growth during the forecast period.
