The global warehouse fumigants market was valued at US$628.673 million in 2021 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 3.47% over the forecast period to reach US$798.226 million by 2028.

Warehouse fumigants control insects and pests in warehouses and other storage facilities. They can kill a wide variety of pests, including insects, rodents, and fungi. Fumigants can be used to treat a variety of commodities, including grains, fruits, vegetables, and wood products. Warehouse fumigants are essential for the effective management and protection of stored goods. The warehouse fumigants market encompasses various fumigant products, such as methyl bromide, dazomet, chloropicrin, and formaldehyde, designed to address specific pest control needs in storage facilities and warehouses.

The warehouse fumigants are driven by various factors, including increasing concerns over food safety and quality, stringent regulations on pest control in warehouses, and the rise in the global trade of agricultural and food products. The market is also expected to increase due to the rising e-commerce sector and the requirement for safe, pest-free storage facilities to ensure product integrity. The market for warehouse fumigants is also expanding due to the increasing use of modern farming techniques. Modern farming techniques, such as fertilizers and pesticides, can make pests resistant. Fumigants can help to control resistant pests and protect crops from damage.

However, alternative pest management techniques have been developed due to environmental concerns and possible health risks related to fumigants, which might influence market growth. Additionally, stringent regulatory requirements and compliance procedures can pose challenges for industry players during the analysis period. 

The increasing demand for pest control and expansion of e-commerce is supporting the global warehouse fumigants market growth.

Maintaining a pest-free environment in storage facilities and warehouses is extremely difficult. Pests, including insects, rodents, and fungi, can damage stored goods, contaminate food products, and pose health risks. The demand for warehouse fumigants has been fueled by the growing awareness of how crucial pest management is for maintaining the integrity of products and compliance with quality standards. The rising prevalence of pest and insect infestation is driving the demand for pest control solutions. For instance, according to the Florida Environmental Pest Management, 20 percent of the world's food supply is consumed by rodents. The quantity of food destroyed by rodents each year can feed up to 200 million people. FAO estimates that over US$70 billion of products is lost annually due to invasive insects in the global economy.

The rapid growth of the e-commerce industry has led to an increased demand for secure and pest-free storage facilities. Warehouses and storage units used by e-commerce companies require effective pest control measures to protect the integrity of products and meet customer expectations. Warehouse fumigants play a crucial role in maintaining pest-free environments in these facilities.

Demand for phosphine as a warehouse fumigant is on the rise.

The market is segmented by type into phosphine, methyl bromide, sulfuryl fluoride, magnesium phosphide, aluminium phosphide, etc. Phosphine is the most widely used type of warehouse fumigant as it effectively kills a wide range of pests and is relatively safe to use. Methyl bromide is another commonly used warehouse fumigant that effectively kills a wide range of pests. But it is also a greenhouse gas and, as a result, is being phased out in many countries. Chloropicrin is a less commonly used type of warehouse fumigant, as it is also a strong irritant.

North America will hold a significant share of the global warehouse fumigants market throughout the forecast period.

North American region will experience rapid expansion throughout the projection period due to the increasing demand for food safety and quality, the rising concerns about post-harvest losses, and the growing adoption of advanced farming practices. This region's market is also expanding due to the high population and rising food demand. Stringent regulatory compliance and the flourishing e-commerce industry are also positively impacting market prospects. The Environmental Protection Agency regulates the use of warehouse fumigants in the United States, and the Pest Management Regulatory Agency in Canada. The EPA and PMRA have established regulations that govern the use of warehouse fumigants to protect human health and the environment. Moreover, the presence of a well-established agriculture industry and increasing investment are also spurring regional demand for warehouse fumigants. In addition, the prevalence of key market players such as BASF SE, FMC Corporation, Adama Agricultural Solutions, and others also spur the growth of warehouse fumigants in this region.

Market Developments:

  • In May 2023, Cooperative Bulk Handling Ltd. announced that it has collaborated with Universal Biosecurity Ltd. to co-develop ethyl formate solutions for environmentally friendly and economical pest control for potential use throughout the CBH Group supply chain, including farm outloading to port storage. The business behind UBL created the patented, ethyl formate-based Fume 8 technology as a time- and money-saving alternative to the currently popular methyl bromide-based fumigation techniques that are now being phased out worldwide.
  • In February 2023, Rentokil PCI, India's leading pest control and hygiene service provider known for its expertise in pest control, acquired Envocare Pest Control Solutions, a Mumbai-based pest control service provider. A full-service environmental management company, Envocare Pest Control Solutions offers general pest control services. Customers can purchase ecologically friendly services and goods from it.
