Global Agricultural Fumigants Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032
Description
The global Agricultural Fumigants market size is expected to reach $ 3420 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 2.6% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
Agricultural fumigants are technical grade active substances that release toxic gases or volatile intermediates to control insects, nematodes, weeds, and pathogens in soils, stored commodities, and agricultural structures. They matter because they provide broad spectrum, deep penetration control that many contact insecticides, fungicides, or herbicides cannot match, especially in dense bulk grain, sealed warehouses, or subsurface soil horizons. Common fumigant actives and technical concentrates include aluminium phosphide, magnesium phosphide, metam sodium and metam potassium, dazomet, 1,3-dichloropropene, chloropicrin, dimethyl disulfide, sulfuryl fluoride, phosphine, ethanedinitrile, and propylene oxide, excluding application services, long term contracts, and non-fumigant soil treatments. In the current market, global production is around 350 k tons, with an average selling price of about 7700 USD per ton EXW basis. Within this volume, phosphine releasing metal phosphides and metam based isothiocyanate precursors together account for a large share of tonnage, while sulfuryl fluoride, DMDS, and solid precursors such as dazomet carry higher value per ton due to specialised handling and regulatory costs.
Upstream, supply hinges on a small number of producers of phosphorus derivatives, chlorinated C3 intermediates, sulphur chemicals, and fluorinated inorganics, which are then converted into fumigant actives and formulated products. Companies such as Detia-Degesch, UPL, and Shenyang Fengshou produce aluminium phosphide based fumigants for cereals and oilseeds, while Limin Group, AMVAC, Eastman, Tessenderlo Kerley, and Lainco supply metam based soil fumigants that decompose to methyl isothiocyanate in situ; these are recognised in US EPA and California DPR soil fumigant lists as core tools for nematode and disease management in high value crops. Dazomet based products are supplied by Nantong Shizhuang, Shandong Luba, BASF and others, and are widely used in Asia and Europe as broad spectrum soil sterilants, with multiple agronomic and academic studies explicitly sourcing 98 percent dazomet technical from Shizhuang and Luba. Arkema leads the DMDS route with Paladin EC, whereas sulfuryl fluoride is supplied by Douglas Products in the form of Vikane and ProFume and by Linhai Limin Chemicals in China, which drafted the Chinese national standard for sulfuryl fluoride fumigant. Draslovka’s ethanedinitrile and Balchem’s propylene oxide solutions represent newer or more specialised alternatives for quarantine treatments and high value nuts and spices. On the demand side, purchases are typically organised through long term contracts and stewardship programmes, often with restricted use pesticide status, mandatory buffer zones, and rigorous label-driven risk mitigation measures rather than purely spot commodity trading.
In the current competitive landscape the top five suppliers together control roughly fifty percent of global agricultural fumigant revenue (CR5), with the top ten approaching about seventy five percent (CR10), reflecting a moderately high level of concentration driven by regulatory barriers, capital intensity, and the cost of multi-year toxicology and environmental fate dossiers. CR5 is dominated by multinationals and specialised fumigation groups that span multiple chemistries and applications, while regional producers such as Chinese dazomet and sulfuryl fluoride suppliers have meaningful shares by volume in specific chemistries but less global brand reach. Typical gross margins for technical fumigant actives are in the mid twenties to low thirties percentage range, supported by high regulatory barriers, specialised handling equipment, and strong lock-in with approved application methods and stewardship requirements, but constrained by public pressure to reduce emissions and by competition from non-fumigant integrated pest management solutions. Looking ahead to 2025–2031, growth is expected to be modest in mature markets but supported by continued demand for soil disinfestation in high value horticulture, substitution away from methyl bromide and some older actives, and tighter phytosanitary standards in global trade. At the same time, expansion is capped by stricter air and groundwater regulations, long registration timelines, and the need for expensive exposure mitigation technologies; this combination favours well capitalised incumbents, encourages further consolidation, and supports gradual shifts toward more targeted, lower dosage fumigant chemistries and biological or botanical co-formulations rather than explosive volume growth.
