Europe's agricultural fumigants market was valued at USD 0.57 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach USD 0.59 billion USD in 2024 from USD 0.84 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 4.36 % from 2024 to 2032.
Fumigation is a method of pest control that completely fills an area with fumigants that kill pests within. Soil fumigants are applied to soil for the formation of a gas to control pests that live in the soil, which can disrupt plant growth and crop production. These fumigants (soil fumigants) are used mostly on high-value crops, which provides benefits to growers in controlling a broad range of pests, including fungi, nematodes, bacteria, insects, and weeds.
Factors such as increasing agricultural Production, enactment of better agricultural practices, increasing attention towards post-harvest loss, growing storage technology are the major factors boosting the market. Stringent regulatory conditions coupled with the application methodology, high toxicity due to increasing usage of chemical ingredients are hampering the growth of the market.
Some of the key players in Europe agricultural fumigants market are BASF SE, E.I. DuPont De Nemours & Company, Syngenta AG, ADAMA agricultural solution ltd., Dow chemical company, Reddick Fumigants, Degesch America, Inc., and FMC Corporation.
