Report Overview:
Pheromones are naturally occurring chemical compounds secreted by insects to trigger specific behavioral responses in others of the same species. In pest control applications, these bio-based compounds serve as eco-friendly alternatives to chemical pesticides, disrupting mating patterns through attract-and-kill or mating disruption techniques. The primary product categories include sex pheromones, aggregation pheromones, and alarm pheromones, with sex pheromones dominating the market due to their effectiveness in controlling Lepidoptera pests.
The market growth is primarily driven by increasing regulatory restrictions on synthetic pesticides, particularly in Europe where pheromones account for 34.65% of global consumption. While North America follows with 24% market share, China emerges as the fastest-growing region, projected to grow at 10.11% CAGR through 2030. Major players like BASF and Shin-Etsu are expanding production capacities to meet this demand, though high production costs remain a barrier for wider adoption among smallscale farmers.
