Growing Public Concerns Over the Potential Health Hazards of Synthetic Pesticides is Expected to Drive the Demand for IPM Pheromones

The global population is growing rapidly; therefore, there is a need to increase agricultural production to fulfill the food requirements of this growing population. The use of synthetic pesticides in agriculture and pest control has raised concerns about potential health hazards. However, awareness about the adverse effects of agrochemicals on plant physiology, soil quality, animals, and human beings is rising. Farmers, agricultural workers, and individuals applying pesticides may experience skin contact with these chemicals. Pesticides can be absorbed through the skin, leading to skin irritation, rashes, and, in some cases, systemic effects. Also, the extensive use of these synthetic products directly affects the environment as chemical residues from pesticides may remain in the soil and cause soil pollution, contaminate surface or groundwater, or get released into the atmosphere through vitalization.

Chemical pesticides constitute a significant input in enhancing agricultural productivity. However, the residues of these pesticides left in food crops post-harvest are not within the control of consumers and pose substantial risks to human health. The existence of pesticide residues serves as a significant impediment to the international trade of food commodities. The distribution of pesticides in food items is contingent upon factors such as the characteristics and type of pesticide molecules, the specific portion of the food material, and various environmental factors.

The detrimental effects of synthetic chemicals on human health span from immediate issues like headaches and nausea to chronic conditions such as cancer, reproductive health disorders, and endocrine disruption. In response to these concerns, integrated pest management (IPM) pheromones have emerged as a preferable alternative to synthetic pesticides. Their appeal lies in minimal environmental impact and a targeted approach. Specifically designed to disrupt the mating patterns of pests, these pheromones effectively reduce pest populations without causing harm to beneficial insects or pollinators. As public awareness regarding the potential health risks associated with synthetic pesticides grows, there is an anticipated surge in demand for IPM pheromones, driven by consumers seeking safer and more sustainable pest control solutions.

Key Findings in the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Pheromones Market Study:

In 2024, the Sex Pheromones Segment is Expected to Dominate the Overall Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Pheromones Market

Based on type, the integrated pest management (IPM) pheromones market is segmented into sex pheromones, aggregation pheromones, alarm pheromones, and other pheromones. In 2024, the sex pheromones segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global integrated pest management (IPM) pheromones market. The significant market share of this segment can be primarily attributed to the increasing demand for sex pheromones in integrated pest management. Sex pheromones offer notable benefits, including high effectiveness in disrupting the mating patterns of pests and their environmentally friendly nature. These pheromones specifically target pests without causing harm to beneficial insects or the environment. Additionally, the market is bolstered by the substantial presence of key players offering sex pheromones for integrated pest management on a global scale. Moreover, this segment is further slated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period of 2024–2031.

In 2024, the Moths Segment is Expected to Dominate the Overall Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Pheromones Market

Based on pest type, the global integrated pest management (IPM) pheromones market is segmented into moths, beetles, fruit flies, and other pests. In 2024, the moths segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global integrated pest management (IPM) pheromones market. Moths play a significant role in integrated pest management (IPM), where pheromones are commonly used to control their populations. Pheromones are natural chemicals emitted by insects to communicate with others of the same species. The large share of this segment is mainly attributed to the increasing prevalence of moth infestations in agricultural and storage facilities and the growing adoption of pheromones for controlling moth populations.

In 2024, the Mating Disruption Segment is Expected to Dominate the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Pheromones Market
