Impact of Covid-19 on the global agricultural pheromones market

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, consumer preferences have shifted toward consuming healthy and organic food products to maintain health and improve immunity. Other emerging industry trends, including consumption of safe, natural, clean-label, and pesticide-free products, have also changed the scenario of agriculture across the globe. COVID-19 is projected to have a considerable impact on the growth of the agricultural pheromones market. In the optimistic scenario, it is assumed that the impact would be positive, and crop protection manufacturers are willing to buy agricultural pheromones, considering the rise in demand for clean organic products and insect & pest-free environments. In addition, as the trade barriers would be relaxed to rebuild economies, trading will be easier.

Opportunities: Rising global consumption of high-value crops

High-value agricultural products are generally defined as agricultural products with a high economic value per kilogram (or pound), per hectare, or per calorie, which includes fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, milk, and fish. The key factors driving the demand for high-value crops are the rise in the income of consumers, rapid urbanization, and the increase in awareness of health benefits associated with these high-yield crops. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, consumer preferences have shifted toward consuming healthy and organic food products to maintain health and improve immunity. Other emerging industry trends, including consumption of safe, natural, clean-label, and pesticide-free products, have also changed the scenario of agriculture across the globe.

By mode of application, the dispensers segment dominated the market in 2020, due to the ease of handling and low cost

Dispensers are utilized for the application of insect pheromones in specified amounts to different types of crops. The dispensers should be placed at a particular height to be an effective source. Dispensers are most commonly utilized to monitor insect populations in arable crops, stored products, and forest ecosystems. An ideal dispenser should be renewable and should be made of cheap organic materials alongside being economically inexpensive and toxicologically inert. Pheromone-based devices are able to ensure the successful control of pests, such as codling moths, tomato pinworm, pink bollworm, and oriental fruit moth. Pheromone dispensers are of different types, such as passive pheromone dispensers, retrievable polymeric pheromone dispensers, hollow fibers, and high emission dispensers.

The North America region dominated the agricultural pheromones market and is projected to grow at the highest CAGR of 16.9% from 2021 to 2026.

The market for pheromones is growing in North America owing to the widening scope of applications in not only agriculture but also in forestry and for industrial purposes, such as in the food and pharmaceutical industries. ISCA produces a formulation to control noctuid moths on row crops that acts as a mating-disruption for the gypsy moth that is used by the US Forest Service. Some of the majorly grown agricultural crops in the region include cotton, tomatoes, grapes, corn, pome fruits, and stone fruits. These are some of the crops that are prone to attacks from various insect species, such as the pink bollworm, leaf miner, codling moth, and berry moths. In North America, pheromones are used for mating disruption purposes.

Convenient and ready-to-use traps are projected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period.

Pheromone traps are usually used to capture certain species of insects in stored products. A pheromone attractant is used inside the trap to lure the insects. Traps are used for monitoring and mass trapping as well. However, in the case of mass trapping, the number of traps per unit area is increasing effectively to trap more insects. Some of the most commonly used traps include delta traps, sticky traps, winged traps, and funnel traps.

By crop type, the fruit & nuts segment dominated the agricultural pheromones market in 2020.

Fruits & nuts include crops, such as apple, peach, pear, grapes, citrus, mango, and coconut. Some of the major insects that infest crops include oriental fruit borer, codling moths, fruit fly, Indian meal moths, and leafroller. Companies such as Suterra (US), Koppert Biologicals (Netherlands), and Russell IPM (UK) focus on providing solutions for insect pheromones in fruits. Research is also conducted for the efficient management of fruit pests by making use of pheromone nanogels. This technology is currently being tested for guavas. The methodology is still under trial and would be a simple and cost-effective technique if it clears the clinical trials and could significantly reduce fruit fly infestation on guavas. In most cases, dispensers are utilized for delivering pheromones used in mating disruption in fruit crops.

Challenges: Need for development of multi-target insect pheromone dispensers

Pheromones are target-specific, and hence, target one species during its period of application. In an apple farm, when codling moths are targeted through monitoring and trapping; other secondary pests such as stink bugs can remain unnoticed, which can lead to higher pest outbreaks and increased pesticide application. This subsequently increases the production costs of the growers. To solve the problem of secondary pest management, it is necessary to develop a product that would target more than one species at the same time. The development of multi-target pest pheromone dispensers is a challenge for many integrated pest management companies.
