Market Analysis

The market is poised for moderate growth, led by increased fear of soil-borne pests and stricter regulatory control. New developments in green formulations and targeted application are surfacing as the major differentiators. Certified applicators, green-compliant producers, and those investing in biofumigation will gain the most, whereas traditional chemical manufacturers banking on withdrawn actives could lose share.

Segment-wise Analysis

By Type

Based on Fact.MR's analysis, chloropicrin is expected to be the most profitable segment under type, expanding at a 30.0% share in 2025. It is typically used in fumigation in agriculture due to its wide-range effectiveness in controlling an extensive list of pests, including fungi, nematodes, and weeds. It is most valued for its efficacy and rapidity of action in soil and warehouse fumigation.

By Form

The gas market is anticipated to be the most profitable, propelling a 40.0% share in 2025. Gas form is extensively employed in agricultural fumigants mainly due to its better penetration capacity and homogenous distribution within soil and storage conditions. Fumigant gases can smoothly diffuse through the particles of the soil, guaranteeing that harmful pests like nematodes, fungi, insects, and seeds of weeds get targeted effectively even in deeper portions or inaccessible regions.

By Crop Type

Vegetables and fruits are mostly fumigated with agricultural fumigants because of the great susceptibility to fungi, soil-borne pests, and nematodes that could reduce both yield and quality of industry very drastically. Fruits and vegetables have intensive crops which are mostly cultivated in value segments and with small infestation could lead to enormous economic loss.

By Application

Soil segment will prove to be most profitable, projecting a 65.0% share in 2025. Soil is the largest used application area for crop fumigants due to the fact that it is the main medium for crops to deal with pests, pathogens, and weeds. Prior to planting, soil fumigation provides a clean environment to grow by killing nematodes, fungi, bacteria, and weed seeds that can harm or hinder crop development.

By Pest Control Method

The tarpaulin fumigation segment will lead to the highest proportion of 34.0% in 2025. Tarpaulin fumigation finds extensive application in the agricultural fumigants sector because it is cost-efficient, easy, and highly versatile across a variety of farming conditions.

Country-wise Analysis

Within the United States, the sector is anticipated to develop at a CAGR of 2.5% from 2025 to 2035, slightly below the average, due to regulatory limitations and rising pressure against synthetic fumigants.

UK sales are anticipated to record a CAGR of 3.1% during the forecast period, slightly above the global average. The country's strong emphasis on sustainable farming and post-Brexit regulatory authority is compelling drastic changes in pest control strategies. Broad-spectrum fumigants are facing regulatory hurdles, but demand for precision-guided and lower-toxicity products rises.

The market is anticipated to expand at a 2.6% CAGR rate in France during the forecast period. Crop variety in the nation, ranging from fruits like grapes and apples to grains, aids in regular utilization of fumigants. Aggressive policymaking to restrict pesticides, however, is putting pressure on the fumigants segment.

In Germany, the terrain is expected to record a CAGR of 2.3% during 2025-2035. The reason largely owes to the strict environmental laws and open discouragement of agriculture based on chemicals.

Competitive Landscape

The sector is reasonably concentrated with few multinational players such as BASF SE, Syngenta AG, UPL Limited, and ADAMA Ltd. being in dominant stakes. These industry players are going big on research and development to formulate newer, safer, and environment-friendly fumigants as the globe concentrates on green agriculture. The companies' moves also comprise ramping up distribution channels and creating strategic collaborations with farmers, cooperatives, and research bodies in order to maximize penetration and efficacy of the products.

In 2024, Syngenta AG introduced a new phosphine fumigant designed for use in stored grain markets with enhanced efficacy and safety profiles. Similarly, UPL Limited expanded its fumigant offerings in 2025 through the introduction of a low-toxicity fumigant for post-harvest crop protection, aligned with the industry trend towards products with reduced environmental impact. These introductions reflect the companies' efforts to address both regulatory requirements and customers' demands for safer agricultural inputs.

Strategic acquisitions and mergers also play a role in competitive dynamics. For instance, Shogun Lifesciences was acquired in February 2022 by Safex Chemicals, an Indian agrochemical player, widening its line of farm solutions, including fumigants. Mergers and acquisitions assist businesses in diversifying their products and strengthening their positions in industries.
