Integrated Pest Management Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2020-2030F

The Integrated Pest Management Market was valued at USD 24.84 Billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 36.17 Billion by 2030, rising at a CAGR of 6.46%. Integrated pest management (IPM) pheromones are a suite of environmentally friendly approaches that combine different management practices and strategies to cultivate robust crops while minimizing pesticide use.

These techniques integrate cultural practices, along with prevention and a range of pest controls - mechanical, physical, biological, and chemical - to prevent and suppress various pests, including weeds, insects, diseases, and vertebrate pests like ground squirrels and pigeons. IPM pheromones serve as a pivotal pillar for reducing pesticide risks and promoting sustainable crop production intensification. They adhere to key principles, such as thorough pest identification, assessment of host plants and beneficial organisms prior to implementing control measures, establishment of monitoring guidelines for each pest species, development of action thresholds, execution of control tactics, and systematic monitoring, analysis, and documentation of results.

Key Market Drivers

Rapid Growth in The Agriculture Industry

The agriculture industry is witnessing rapid growth globally, primarily driven by the increasing demand to ensure food security for the booming population. This surge has intensified the need for Integrated Pest Management (IPM), a method that combines biological, cultural, physical, and chemical tools in a way that minimizes economic, health, and environmental risks. IPM, with its effectiveness and efficiency, is being widely adopted by farmers globally to combat various pests that damage crops, including mollusks. The growing awareness of IPM's benefits, including cost-effectiveness, long-term pest control, and reduced pesticide use, is propelling its demand.

According to Ministry of Finance India, In recent years, the agriculture sector in India has shown robust growth, averaging 5 per cent annually from FY17 to FY23, demonstrating resilience despite challenges. In the second quarter of the 2024-25 fiscal year, the agriculture sector recorded a growth rate of 3.5 per cent. The Gross Value Added (GVA) of agriculture and related sectors, have improved from 24.38 per cent in the fiscal year FY15 to an impressive 30.23 per cent by FY23. Consistent and stable growth of agriculture at around 5 per cent, with a 20 per cent share of overall GVA in the economy, will contribute 1 per cent growth to GVA.

Moreover, the increasing instances of pest resistance to conventional pesticides and the rising environmental concerns associated with their overuse are further accentuating the shift towards IPM. Governing bodies worldwide are focusing on educating farmers about IPM practices and are implementing supportive policies, providing a thrust to its adoption. In the aquaculture sector, IPM methods, including the use of molluscicides, are being employed to maintain healthy species development and control mollusk populations in various facilities, further driving the demand. As the agriculture industry continues to expand, the need for sustainable and effective pest control methods like IPM is expected to grow significantly, underpinning its global demand.

Key Market Challenges

Lack of Awareness

One of the major challenges impeding the adoption of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) globally is a lack of awareness. In many parts of the world, especially in developing nations, farmers and cultivators are often ill-informed about the benefits of IPM, including the use of molluscicides. They continue inheriting traditional, and oftentimes damaging, pest control methods that undermine the ecosystem.

Furthermore, the misconception that IPM strategies are complex, labor-intensive, or prohibitively expensive also dissuade potential users. Though IPM strategies like the use of molluscicides can initially seem costlier than conventional methods, they offer longer-term benefits, such as improved soil health, reduced pest resistance, and lower contamination levels in produce and the surrounding environment. Lack of extension services and training programs to enlighten farmers about these benefits further exacerbates the problem. As a result, despite the potential of IPM to revolutionize pest control and contribute to food security, its global adoption is hindered. If this trend continues, it is expected to decrease the demand for IPM, including the use of molluscicides, unless concerted efforts are made for widespread education and awareness campaigns.

Key Market Trends

Cost-Effectiveness of IPM

The cost-effectiveness of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is projected to significantly boost its global demand. IPM strategies blend various pest control methods, such as biological, physical, and chemical tactics, optimizing their effectiveness while minimizing the ecological footprint. This integrated approach not only curbs the overuse of toxic chemicals, lowering the input costs for farmers, but also mitigates the risks of pests developing resistance. Furthermore, IPM lays emphasis on prevention techniques over reactive ones, such as the cultivation of pest-resistant crop varieties and crop rotation to disrupt pest breeding cycles, which are intrinsically cost-effective in the long run.

The potential savings in pesticide costs, coupled with the increased crop yields due to reduced pest damage, render IPM a financially viable solution for farmers globally. Moreover, the increasing governmental support worldwide, aimed at promoting sustainable farming practices and ensuring food security, is likely to fuel the adoption of cost-efficient IPM techniques. Consequently, this cost-effectiveness paired with its environmental and health advantages, positions IPM as an attractive, sustainable, and economic option for tackling global pest issues.
