India Agricultural Fumigants Market

India Agricultural Fumigants Market Overview:

The India agricultural fumigants market size reached USD 80.0 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 110.0 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.5% during 2025-2033. The market is expanding due to the rising demand for pest control in stored grains and commercial farming. Growth is further driven by increasing food security concerns, modern storage facilities, and adoption of advanced fumigation techniques to minimize post-harvest losses and ensure crop quality.

India Agricultural Fumigants Market Trends:

Rising Adoption of Phosphine-Based Fumigants

The Indian agricultural fumigants market is undergoing a burgeoning inclination towards phosphine-based fumigation owing to their exceptional efficacy in stored grain pest control and a comparatively reduced environmental influence. Magnesium and alumininum phosphide that belongs to phosphine fumigants category have started replacing methyl bromide, which is slowly being phased out because of its the environmental hazards. Stringent regulations set by the government of India to reduce pesticide residues in issued exports further stimulate the adoption of phosphine-based solutions for exports, giving it an edge over other available solutions to meet the international trade standards. Additionally, phosphine is preferred for its deep penetration capabilities, enabling effective pest control without leaving harmful residues. The expansion of warehouse storage capacities and increasing focus on minimizing post-harvest losses are driving demand for efficient fumigation methods. For instance, as per industry reports, around 74 Million Tons of post-harvest loss is recorded in India annually, which is 22% of the total foodgrain output. Market players are investing in advanced formulations such as controlled-release phosphine, improving safety and efficiency. These innovations support the growing need for sustainable and residue-free fumigation solutions in India’s rapidly evolving agricultural sector.

Increasing Utilization of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in Grain Storage

The adoption of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies in India's agricultural fumigants market is rising as stakeholders prioritize sustainable pest control methods. IPM combines chemical fumigation with non-chemical approaches such as hermetic storage, aeration, and biological control, reducing over-reliance on chemical treatments. This shift is driven by increasing awareness of the adverse impacts of extensive pesticide utilization on both the environment and human health. For instance, as per UN Environment Programme, in March 2024, India, Laos, Ecuador, Kenya, Vietnam, Philippines, and Uruguay joined forces introduce a USD 379 Million initiative to mitigate pollution caused by pesticides utilization in agriculture. Around 11,000 individuals die yearly due to the toxicity of pesticides. Moreover, large-scale food storage facilities, warehouses, and government procurement agencies are implementing IPM to enhance food security while ensuring compliance with safety regulations. Advanced monitoring technologies, such as electronic sensors for pest detection, are improving fumigation efficiency by enabling precise application based on infestation levels. The emphasis on safe storage practices, along with policy support for sustainable pest control, is accelerating IPM adoption. As a result, fumigant manufacturers are developing targeted solutions that align with IPM principles, ensuring both efficacy and regulatory compliance.
