Miticides For Fruits and Vegetables Global Market Report 2025

The miticides for fruits and vegetables market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $1.08 billion in 2024 to $1.13 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing awareness of environmental impact, integrated pest management (ipm) adoption, market demand for quality produce, advancements in crop protection techniques, global expansion of agriculture.

The miticides for fruits and vegetables market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.45 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to climate change impact on pest dynamics, shift in consumer preferences, global expansion of agriculture, stringent regulatory requirements, rising pest resistance. Major trends in the forecast period include growing demand for organic produce, resurgence of integrated pest management (ipm), rise in global pest pressure, regulatory changes and compliance, focus on residue management.

The forecast of 6.6% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.3% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US by increasing costs for crop protection chemicals imported from Brazil and Spain, leading to higher food prices due to elevated farming expenses. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The upward trajectory in fruit and vegetable production is poised to accelerate the growth of the miticides for fruits and vegetables market. This production entails the cultivation and harvest of edible plants consumed for their nutritional value. Miticides used in this sphere disrupt mites' nervous systems or metabolism, curbing their ability to feed and reproduce, thereby preventing infections in crops. Notably, Statistics Canada reported in February 2023 a 13.1% rise in farm-gate sales of fruits and vegetables to $3 billion in 2022 from the previous year. Moreover, the nation's overall production of these goods surged by 6.1% to 3.5 billion kg in 2022, underscoring the direct correlation between increased production and the demand for miticides.

The growth of commercial agriculture is anticipated to significantly boost the miticides for fruits and vegetables market in the future. Commercial agriculture refers to the cultivation of crops and livestock for sale, typically utilizing modern machinery. Miticides for fruits and vegetables are essential in commercial agriculture as they protect crops from pests and diseases, leading to increased yields and improved crop quality. For instance, in February 2024, the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs, a UK-based government agency, reported that in 2022, the UK’s Total Income from Farming (TIFF) reached £7.9 billion (approximately $10.23 billion), marking an increase of £1.1 billion (around $1.7 billion) or 17% compared to 2021. Consequently, the expansion of commercial agriculture is driving the growth of the miticides for fruits and vegetables market.

Technological advancements mark a pivotal trend shaping the miticides for fruits and vegetables market. Key industry players are embracing innovative technologies to fortify their market position. For instance, BASF SE's March 2023 introduction of Danisaraba miticide showcases a pioneering solution tailored for horticultural farmers combatting spider mite issues. This potent miticide, specifically crafted for horticultural needs, demonstrates efficacy against a diverse range of spider mite species while ensuring lasting effectiveness and high control levels. Its application spans ornamental plants, citrus orchards, fruiting vegetables, strawberries, and grapevines, underscoring the market's push for advanced technological solutions.

Miticides designed for fruits and vegetables are specialized chemical compounds formulated to effectively manage and eradicate mites, small arthropods that pose threats to the quality and yield of crops. These miticides are instrumental in enhancing agricultural productivity by disrupting mites' nervous systems or metabolism, hindering their ability to feed and multiply.

The primary categories of miticides for fruits and vegetables encompass diverse agricultural segments such as cereals, grains, oilseeds, and pulses. Fruits and vegetables denote consumable plant products frequently used in human diets. These miticides are available in varied forms - both dry and liquid - with diverse sources, including biological and chemical compositions. Application methods range from foliar sprays to soil treatments, offering multiple avenues for effective usage.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The escalating U.S. tariffs and rising trade tensions in spring 2025 are expected to significantly affect the chemicals sector, which is facing a disproportionate impact - particularly from tariffs on petrochemicals and intermediates, where affordable domestic alternatives are limited. Specialty chemical producers, who rely heavily on Chinese raw materials, are encountering production disruptions. Meanwhile, fertilizer manufacturers are seeing their profit margins squeezed due to tariffs on phosphate imports. In response, companies are increasing investments in R&D for bio-based alternatives, forming procurement alliances to strengthen purchasing power, and relocating production to tariff-neutral countries like Saudi Arabia.
