Phosphine Fumigation Market: By Type, Application, Form, and Region

Market Synopsis:

Global Phosphine Fumigation Market is valued at USD 683.40 Million in 2022 and estimated to reach a value of USD 1033.00 Million by 2030 at a CAGR of 5.30% during the forecast period, 2022–2028. Fumigation with phosphine is an effective, rapid and economic treatment for all commodities, whether they are in bulk storage or containerized. It is the method of choice for elimination of live insects without causing damage to foodstuffs or their packaging. Phosphine Fumigation has the advantages that it rapidly produces high concentrations (> 100 ppm) of phosphine in most commercial premises which kills insect pests very quickly (within 30 minutes).

Why Demand for Phosphine Fumigation is Increasing?

Growing Application of Phosphine Fumigation in Warehouse to Drive Market Growth

Phosphine Fumigation has been gaining widespread popularity as an efficient, safe, and cost-effective alternative to methyl bromide in warehouse disinfection. Even though phosphine is not completely free of environmental concerns, it is still much better than other alternatives for commodity protection. It has the ability to kill any stage of insect life at very low dosage rates which makes it highly effective and economical. In warehouses, the majority of food commodities are fumigated in large palletized loads (2,000 to 10,000 lbs). Often these products are stacked on top of one another and the accumulated heat generated by the chemical reaction elevates the internal temperature to lethal levels.

North America to Dominate Phosphine Fumigation Market

North America is the leading consumer of Phosphine Fumigation . Wherein, the US is holding major share of the regional market. The use of Phosphine Fumigation to protect stored grains against the infestation of insect pests has become very common in many countries in the region. For many years, wheat and other cereal grains have been protected by gas treatments before transfer into storage facilities. However, global food security is threatened by various factors during this process. Different species of insects are capable of developing resistance to any type of treatment. The frequent use of Phosphine Fumigation increases the risk that resistant populations emerge. For these reasons, alternatives are being sought continuously for controlling different groups of stored-product insects.

Phosphine is still the only gaseous fumigant available worldwide for treating stored products, but it presents significant drawbacks because its toxicity can affect humans and animals at high levels. These drawbacks can limit the application of Phosphine Fumigation to some extent in the region.
