Agricultural fumigants market size is expected to grow significantly as these are used to control pests, such as insects, nematodes, weeds, that can disrupt plant growth and crop production. Soil fumigants can be applied twice during crop harvest. First during pre-harvest to kill insects, weeds, nematodes, and other soil-inhabiting plant pathogenic organisms. Second, in post-harvest, soil fumigants are used to control insects and fungi which can damage grains and crops.

Due to increasing technological advancement in the agriculture industry, various agricultural products are being developed with lower toxicity and higher efficiency. Agricultural fumigants market is growing on the backdrop of implementation of better agricultural practices and reducing the pre-harvest and post-harvest loss. The growing global population has driven up the demand for high agricultural productivity which has propelled the demand for agricultural fumigants. As the fumigants can be in gaseous form, they may move from soil to air and may move off-site that may cause adverse effects on the health conditions of the people which may hamper the market share of agricultural fumigants in agrochemical chemical market.  

The global agricultural fumigants market is segmented on the basis of product type, form, and geography. Based on product type, the market is segmented into chloropicrin, methyl bromide, phosphine, 1,3-Dichloropropene, Methyl Isothiocyanate Precursor, Sulfuryl Fluoride, Dimethyl Disulfide, and others. Chloropicrin is expected to show significant growth over the forecast period as it offers various benefits against various crop problems ranging from weed seeds, nematodes to insects, fungi and many others. On the basis of form, the market is segmented into solid, liquid and gas. Liquid agricultural fumigants are expected to have significant share in the market as this forms a protective layer around the roots when injected into the soil. This helps the roots from degrading due to pest attacks.  

Geographically, the market is further segmented on the basis of major regions, such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and rest of the world (RoW). North America is expected to have considerable market share attributed to the presence of large chemical manufacturers in the region. Moreover, the manufacturers have to adhere to numerous regulations to protect farming crops which may restraint the market growth. Asia-Pacific region is expected to show significant growth over the forecast period due to increasing awareness towards more developed crop protection techniques.

Some of the major players in the field of agricultural fumigants industry include BASF SE,  The DOW Chemical Company, Eastman Chemical Co., Marrone Bio Innovations, Inc., Trinity Manufacturing, Inc., United Phosphorous, Ltd. and Arkema S.A. These companies are adopting several strategies, such as merger and acquisitions, product launches, geographical expansion and collaboration, and partnership to expand market share across the globe. For instance, in August 2018, Marrone Bio Innovations, Inc. has announced its biofumigant which is in development and has been named as Ennoble. The biofumigant has shown high efficiency towards controlling soil-borne diseases as well as increased yields.
