Agricultural Fumigants Market Report 2026

The agricultural fumigants market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.54 billion in 2025 to $2.78 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing post-harvest storage requirements, expansion of commercial farming operations, rising pest infestation challenges, adoption of fumigation in warehouses and silos, availability of broad-spectrum fumigants.

The agricultural fumigants market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.94 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing regulatory scrutiny on fumigant usage, rising demand for low-emission alternatives, expansion of integrated pest management programs, increasing investment in precision application methods, development of safer fumigation chemistries. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of environmentally safer fumigants, rising use of controlled application technologies, growing focus on post-harvest pest control, expansion of soil treatment applications, enhanced regulatory compliance practices.

The rising crop production is expected to drive the growth of the agricultural fumigants market. Crop production involves the cultivation and harvesting of plants for human or animal consumption, industrial use, or other purposes. Agricultural fumigants support crop production by controlling soilborne pests, pathogens, and weeds, resulting in higher yields, improved crop quality, and more consistent performance. For example, in September 2024, the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, an Australia-based government department, reported that national winter crop production is projected to reach 55.2 million tonnes in 2024-25, a 17% increase over the 10-year average. Therefore, increasing crop production is fueling the agricultural fumigants market.

Leading companies in the agricultural fumigants market are focusing on advanced, eco-friendly fumigation technologies to enhance pest control efficiency while reducing environmental impact. Eco-friendly fumigation technologies use safer, low-toxicity, and environmentally sustainable methods to protect crops. For instance, in March 2024, Draslovka Holding BV, an Australia-based chemical company, launched INTRESO Group by consolidating its agricultural products and fumigation services into a dedicated entity. INTRESO Group will operate independently, prioritizing sustainable solutions that reduce emissions in fumigation practices and respond to growing demand for environmentally responsible agriculture.

In September 2024, United Phosphorus Limited (UPL), an India-based agricultural solutions company, acquired PT Excel Meg Indo for $6.85 million. This acquisition strengthens UPL’s presence in the Southeast Asian agricultural market and expands its portfolio of crop protection and fumigation solutions. PT Excel Meg Indo, based in Indonesia, specializes in providing fumigants and crop protection products for commercial farming.
