Warehouse Fumigants Market Overview

The global warehouse fumigants market is forecasted to reach at a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period (2023-2030).

The main objective of fumigation in warehouses is to protect transit products from various pest infections held temporarily and permanently. Toxic gas is injected to kill numerous pests at all stages of development, and a plastic sheet impermeable to gas is placed over the goods. If chemical fumigation is employed, it will not harm the product if carried out correctly and under protocol; on the contrary, it will get rid of pests like insects or rice moths and maintain the grain's quality as a food source. It is anticipated that as a result of climate change, such as an increase in temperature, the insect population will rise in the coming years, increasing reliance on fumigants. One common technique widely used in emerging nations is fumigation, which is used to control insects in products and export materials.

Warehouse Fumigants Market Dynamics

Increasing need for pest control is driving the market expansion.

In the pest control sector, insect infestation is the biggest natural threat to secure distribution and storage of grains. But when it comes to reducing pest infestations, tools like fumigation are more efficient than structural and warehouse fumigation. Companies are also making significant investments in a variety of innovative storage technologies and integrating cutting-edge fumigant technologies, which are anticipated to improve fumigant storage technologies over time and expand the market for warehouse fumigants. Singapore Storage & Warehouse announced in November 2022 that it will increase the usage of its unique technology to stop insect infestations including weevil infestations. The procedure is similar to that used for food packing for retail sales. Rice bags are put on a pallet and covered with customized casing to form an enclosed box using the Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) box technique. Then, to maintain low oxygen levels, oxygen is evacuated from the box while an inert gas is simultaneously pumped in.

Warehouse Fumigants Market Segmentation Analysis

Phosphine segment accounted for the highest share in global warehouse fumigants market

A significant portion of phosphorus' use in the warehouse and storage fumigation industry is primarily due to its expanding use as a substitute for methyl bromide in developed and emerging countries. The market for phosphine fumigants is expanding, and its dominance in this sector is being supported by additional factors such as its high level of penetration, ease of availability, less toxic nature, and greater effectiveness compared to other fumigants. On the other hand, the market for methyl bromide, an ozone-depleting substance, was frequently employed as a fumigant to eradicate a variety of pests and pathogens in soils (fungi, bacteria, and soil-borne viruses), as well as to store goods after harvest in buildings or other structures (insects, mites, nematodes and rodents) is projected at USD YY million in 2022 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR YY% during the forecast period (2023-2030) to reach USD YY million by 2030.

Warehouse Fumigants Market Geographical Share

North America is the dominating region during the forecast period

With an XX% share in 2022, North America makes up a sizeable portion of the world's consumption of warehouse fumigants, with the United States and Canada making up roughly 80% of the regional market. With over 250 authorized products readily available in the two main American and Canadian countries, North America is a significant market for agricultural fumigants. The primary agricultural products in the area that use fumigants for soil and warehouse applications include corn, rice, barley, potatoes, tomatoes, wheat, strawberries, and cabbage. The growth rate and market share are anticipated to remain constant until a regulatory ban or strict regulations on the use of warehouse fumigants are put into place due to the extremely low export and storage capacities of nations like Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Jamaica, and others.
