Agricultural Pheromones Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, Segmented By Type, By Function, By Crop Type, By Mode of Application, By Region and Competition, 2020-2030F

Description

The Global Agricultural Pheromones Market, valued at USD 3.24 Billion in 2024, is projected to grow at a CAGR of 14.43% to reach USD 7.27 Billion by 2030. Agricultural pheromones are naturally occurring chemical signals used by insects for communication and are applied in agriculture to manage pests by disrupting behaviors such as mating or for monitoring purposes. Market growth is driven by rising demand for sustainable farming, expanding adoption of Integrated Pest Management strategies, stricter regulations on synthetic pesticides, and growing consumer preference for residue-free food.

Key Market Drivers

The increasing adoption of sustainable and organic farming practices significantly influences the global agricultural pheromones market

Global farming practices are shifting toward environmentally sustainable methods that meet consumer preferences for residue-free produce. This shift encourages the use of biological pest control agents such as pheromones, which offer highly targeted pest management without the environmental risks associated with synthetic chemicals. According to FiBL and IFOAM - Organics International, the global organic farming area grew by 2.5 million hectares in 2023, reaching nearly 99 million hectares, demonstrating rising demand for organic-compatible solutions like pheromones. Another major driver is the growing awareness of the adverse environmental and health impacts of chemical pesticides, which has led governments to impose stricter regulations. For example, Belgium adopted an export ban for 15 prohibited active substances in November 2023, effective May 2025, illustrating the regulatory transition away from hazardous chemicals. Additionally, AgBiTech's October 2024 partnership with Dole to implement pheromone-based pest control in banana plantations reflects increasing commercial adoption aligned with sustainable practices.

Key Market Challenges

The comparatively high production costs associated with agricultural pheromones present a significant impediment to market growth

Agricultural pheromones remain more expensive to produce than traditional chemical pesticides, resulting in higher prices that can limit adoption among cost-sensitive growers, particularly small and medium-scale farms. According to CropLife, 21% of survey respondents in 2024 said biological products-including pheromones-are too costly for growers to use consistently. This perception of high cost reduces market penetration despite environmental benefits and alignment with eco-friendly practices. As farmers closely evaluate cost-benefit ratios, elevated prices hinder wider adoption and slow the transition toward biological pest management solutions.

Key Market Trends

Digital agriculture integration for precision pest management

Advanced digital tools-including AI, IoT sensors, and remote monitoring-are increasingly being integrated with pheromone-based pest management. These technologies enhance accuracy in pest detection and enable targeted intervention, reducing waste and improving cost efficiency. CropLife International reported that field farming represented 61.5% of AI adoption in agriculture in 2024, illustrating substantial integration across operations. A notable example is NEC Corporation's digital agriculture platform launched in June 2025, combining IoT sensors with AI-based pest and disease detection to enable predictive management and optimized pheromone deployment.
