Agricultural Pheromones Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Type (Sex Pheromones, Aggregation Pheromones and Other Types), By Function (Mating Disruption, Detection & Monitoring, Mass Trapping and Other Functions), By Crop (Field Crops, Orchard Crops, Vegetables and Other Crops), By Application (Traps, Dispensers and Sprayers) and Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Agricultural Pheromones Market is accounted for $3.51 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $9.68 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 18.4% during the forecast period. Agricultural pheromones are chemical signals that are used to monitor, trap, or disrupt insect pests in agricultural fields. Technological advancements and agricultural technique innovation have enabled market participants and farmers to use pheromones as an integrated pest management method. These pheromones are synthetic copies of natural pheromones that aid in insect aggregation or attraction. They are used in a variety of ways, including mating disruption, luring, mass trapping, and others.

According to a research paper issued in the Journal of Applied Entomology in 2011, adopting sealed polyethylene vials and the Specialized Pheromone and Lure Application Technology (SPLAT) disrupts communication in the millet stem borer. Hence, capitalising on the adoption of agricultural pheromones combined with other control methods to eradicate pests successfully contributes to market growth.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing Integrated Pest Management

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practises emphasise long-term pest prevention through cultural and biological controls, habitat manipulation, and the use of resistant varieties, among other things. IPM, when combined with agricultural pheromones, provides pest protection while posing the fewest risks. This ensures that profits are maximised while costs are minimised. The most effective method is to mass trap the pests and selectively kill them without endangering human health or the environment. Many farmers use pheromone traps, such as tube traps and board traps, to efficiently trap moths and fruit flies and keep them from damaging fruit and vegetable crops. Along with this, various governments promote pheromones to reduce the impact of toxic chemicals, which is expected to boost global market growth.

Restraint:

High Maintenance and Production Costs

The high maintenance cost of numerous insect pheromones in contrast to standard insecticides and pesticides is a significant barrier to market growth. The product's high cost makes it an uneconomical large-scale crop protection option. Pheromones are very expensive, and even the least expensive pheromone has a high price per gramme. Furthermore, the cost of formulation and additional labour charges for application raise the overall cost, impeding market growth.

Opportunity:

Technological Advancement

The rising demand for agricultural products has necessitated the use and adoption of advanced technologies in agrarian pheromones in order to increase profit and yield. According to a study published in the Journal of Applied Entomology in 2011, using sealed polyethylene vials and the Specialized Pheromone & Lure Application Technology (SPLAT) disrupts millet stem borer communication. As a result, capitalising on the successful use of agricultural pheromones in conjunction with other pest control methods contributes to market growth.

Threat:

Lack of awareness and low utilization of biologicals in developing economies

Because the market is highly fragmented at the regional level, brand awareness is low. Despite significant efforts in recent years by agronomists, agricultural universities, companies, and governments worldwide, the majority of farmers are unaware of pheromone products and their benefits in increasing cost-yield sustainability. Food demand remains higher in countries such as India and China, where agriculture is the primary source of income for more than half of the population, and farmers are unwilling to take risks with production capacity. Another reason for the low adoption rate of pheromones is the established chemical pesticide market, which serves farmers' needs with a diverse range of products. Such factors together restrain the market growth.

Covid-19 Impact

The global COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the global economy as well as the agricultural and food sectors. Despite the moderate impact of COVID-19 on various agricultural commodities, certain factors, such as travel restrictions, disruptions in the supply chain, and interruptions in marketing as a result of the government's lockdown to contain the virus's spread, have had a negative impact on market performance. Numerous agricultural organisations, however, are attempting to mitigate the loss caused by the pandemic in order to improve the agricultural sector's supply chain, business opportunities, and smooth operation. For instance, to address market disruptions caused by COVID-19, the Indian government promotes Farmer Producer Organization (FPO) schemes. Such initiatives by the government or agricultural organisations can help improve the situation in the near future.

The Sex pheromones is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

During the forecast period, the sex pheromones segment is expected to be the largest segment, due to the high utilisation of sex pheromones because of their species-specific nature, being active even when present in small amounts, and not being toxic to humans and animals, Furthermore, regulatory agencies in several countries, including the California Environmental Protection Agency, believe that using lepidopteran sex pheromones is safe.

The Detection & Monitoring segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

During the forecast period, the detection and monitoring segment is expected to register the highest CAGR growth. The automatic detection method allows for the early detection and elimination of aggressive pests while minimising crop loss. Monitoring is also used to track the arrival of pests such as gypsy moths, black cutworms, and pink bollworms. This function is also useful for pest eradication in the fields. As a result, these factors may accelerate segment demand in the coming years.

Region with largest share:

North America has the largest share of the global market and is expected to hold the largest share during the forecast period owing to the increasing market penetration, not only in agriculture but also in forestry and within several industrial sectors. Moreover, farmers in North America are adopting pheromones for targeted pest control, and extensive research on developing innovative semiochemicals are some other factors that contribute to the regional market growth.

Region with highest CAGR:

The Asia Pacific region is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to rising agricultural R&D activities and increased cultivation of crops such as coffee, corn, and soybean across the region. The APAC agriculture sector has been shifting away from traditional agriculture practise systems and toward innovative methods and modern technological developments. Moreover, these changes may necessitate skilled pest control methods as well as updated crop management techniques. As a result, it may positively influence agriculture pheromones to demand, creating lucrative opportunities for the Asia Pacific market in the near future.
