Grain Fumigants Global Market Report 2024

The grain fumigants market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.77 billion in 2023 to $1.86 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The expansion witnessed during the historical period can be attributed to the implementation of pest management practices, the globalization of agricultural trade, advancements in fumigant formulations, the enlargement of storage facilities for stored grain, and challenges posed by pest resistance.

The grain fumigants market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.31 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the escalating global demand for food, heightened emphasis on stricter regulatory compliance, a growing focus on environmental sustainability, the expansion of global trade, and an increase in post-harvest losses. Key trends expected in the forecast period include research and development initiatives, a preference for residue-free solutions, a heightened focus on food safety and quality, the development of resistant pest strains, and an increased demand for post-harvest pest control measures.

The upward trajectory in consumer demand for grains is playing a significant role in propelling the growth of the grain fumigants market. Grains, encompassing the seeds or fruits of various food plants used commercially, are subject to protection from insect and rodent infestations through the use of grain fumigants, ensuring the quality of stored grains for future consumption. The surge in grain demand is evident in a February 2023 report from the Centre for the Promotion of Imports from developing countries (CBI), a Netherlands-based government agency, revealing a rise in the value of European imports of grains to $23.81 million in 2021. This increase in grain demand is a driving force behind the growth of the grain fumigants market.

The expanding agriculture sector is poised to contribute to the advancement of the grain fumigants market. The agriculture sector, comprising activities related to land cultivation, crop cultivation, and animal rearing, creates a demand for grain fumigants to preserve harvested grain quality, ensure food security, and meet globalized and modernized agricultural standards. In November 2023, a report from the United States Department of Agriculture highlighted the significant contribution of the agriculture, food, and related industries to the US gross domestic product (GDP), reaching around $1.264 trillion in 2021, constituting a 5.4% portion. With U.S. farms accounting for $164.7 billion, equivalent to approximately 0.7% of the GDP, the growing agriculture sector becomes a key driver for the grain fumigants market.

A notable trend gaining traction is the emphasis on product innovations by major companies. Companies are actively engaged in developing innovative solutions to maintain their market positions. For example, in July 2022, Bayer Malawi Ltd., based in Malawi, introduced K-Obiol, a crop protection product for storage, providing maize protection from the grain borer for up to six months. This cutting-edge technology has been proven effective worldwide, allowing a single 200-gram bottle to shield six bags, each weighing 50 kilograms, for the entire six-month period.

Major players in the grain fumigants market are adopting a strategic partnership approach to collaboratively develop sustainable and cost-effective pest control solutions using ethyl formate. Strategic partnerships involve leveraging each other's strengths and resources for mutual benefits. In May 2023, Cooperative Bulk Handling Ltd. (CBH Group), an Australia-based grain growers' cooperative, collaborated with Universal Biosecurity Ltd. (UBL), an Australia-based grain fumigants provider, aiming to expand CBH's range of environmentally friendly insect treatment alternatives. The partnership seeks to align with customer and market expectations regarding chemical residues in grain, fostering the joint pursuit of cutting-edge, sustainable technological solutions with potential commercial applications in various global markets.
