Integrated Pest Management Pheromones Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Sex Pheromones), By Mode Of Application (Monitoring), By Application, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2024 - 2030

Market Size & Trends

The global integrated pest management pheromones market size was valued at USD 977.7 million in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% from 2024 to 2030. The market growth is driven by the rising awareness regarding food security and concerns about the ill effects of synthetic crop protection chemicals. In addition, integrated pest management (IPM) pheromones are considered clean and eco-friendly as compared to pesticides and are used to trap, catch, or kill pesticides, mainly during agricultural activities, which further drives market growth.

The U.S. government has taken proactive steps to support and enhance the country's agriculture industry, which is expected to drive the demand for IPM pheromones in the coming years. The USDA has launched an initiative to promote integrated pest management (IPM) practices across various settings, including farms, homes, landscapes, and structures. As a major exporter of agricultural products, the U.S. is encouraging sustainable farming methods, and the incorporation of IPM in crop protection offers numerous advantages. IPM reduces economic risks for farmers while providing cost-effective pest control solutions.

IPM also minimizes health hazards for field workers by promoting best management practices. The decreased crop and land damage is expected to drive the demand for IPM pheromones. In crop protection, insecticide application is known to impact non-targeted species extensively. To target a wider range of species, IPM pheromone suppliers need to invest heavily in R&D to identify and control various pests.

Product Insights

Sex Pheromones dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 66.0% in 2023 driven by their extensive usage in managing insect populations in the field. Pest management pheromones are highly effective for controlling pests by disrupting mating and preventing larvae from multiplying on crops and trees. Sex pheromones, primarily extracted from female insects, attract males for mating. The eggs laid by these insects on crops hatch into larvae that feed on the crops, leading to reduced yield.

Aggregation pheromones are anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 10.0% over the forecast period attributed to the increasing adoption of sustainable agricultural practices. These pheromones enhance pest control by attracting insects to specific locations, facilitating mass trapping, and effectively reducing pest populations. In addition, rising awareness of the environmental benefits of using pheromones over traditional pesticides is contributing to their popularity. Furthermore, the demand for safer, non-toxic pest management options further supports the growth of aggregation pheromones in modern agriculture.

Mode Of Application Insights

Mating disruption led the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 41.5% in 2023. By creating artificial dispensers, the integrated pest management technique confuses male insects, delaying mating and pest reproduction. Sex pheromones are widely employed in mating disruption because they can stop male insects from acting in a way that affects moth development. However, mating disruption is a targeted pest management technique and can only be used for certain species of moths.

Mass trapping is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.0% over the forecast period. The integrated pest management pheromones imitate insect pheromones for attracting, capturing, and disrupting mating patterns. IPM pheromones are available in various types, including sex pheromones, aggregation pheromones, and alarm pheromones. However, the global IPM pheromones market is growing, augmenting the rise of mass trapping, which utilizes insect sex pheromones and positively impacts natural enemies and the environment.

Application Insights

Agriculture dominated the market and held the largest revenue share of 82.7% in 2023 owing to the rising trend of ecological farming and stringent regulations on the usage of pesticides worldwide. In addition, government initiatives promoting the use of eco-friendly pest control methods enhance adoption among farmers. Furthermore, the rising global population and demand for high-quality crops further propel the market. Innovations in pheromone technology and improved formulations also contribute to their effectiveness and cost-efficiency, boosting market growth.

Regional Insights

The North America integrated pest management pheromones market dominated the global market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 40.9% in 2023 pertaining to the rising demand for IPM pheromones in the agricultural sector, which has become mechanized and heavily dependent upon an integrated system for supporting agribusinesses.
