Agricultural Insect Pheromones Market Share

Agricultural Insect Pheromones Market Overview

Agricultural Insect Pheromones Market Size was valued at USD 2.40 billion in 2023. The Agricultural Insect Pheromones Market industry is anticipated to grow from USD 2.78 billion in 2024 to USD 10.38 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 17.88% during the forecast period (2024-2032).

Agricultural insect pheromones are chemical signals that are used to trap, monitor, or disrupt insects that cause harm to fields. Pheromones are hormones secreted by insects to communicate with each other. Advances in technology and agricultural techniques have enabled farmers and market players to use insect pheromones as an integrated pest management method. The global agricultural insect pheromones market is projected to register a notable CAGR during the forecast period due to the surging adoption of sustainable agricultural practices. Farmers are opting for integrated pest management techniques including insect pheromone traps to maintain the economic threshold level (ETL) of insects in the field. Moreover, increasing government initiatives to promote the use of semiochemicals for pest control are also driving market growth.

The major factors hampering the growth of the global agricultural insect pheromones market are the high cost of such active chemicals, prolonged R&D process, and need for high investments by farmers to set up and maintain insect pheromone traps. Moreover, uncertain climatic conditions are also hampering the growth of the global agricultural insect pheromones market.
