Report Description
Fumigation is a practice of pest control, wherein pests are killed by suffocating them with the help of poisonous gas. The space to be
fumigated is first sealed to ensure that there are less chances for the exchange of air which could reduce the effect of the chemicals
used. Fumigation can be carried out in in buildings, agricultural lands, warehouses for storage of grains, etc. Fumigants are capable of
diffusing effectively due to their gaseous nature even in structures with small gap or aperture, thus enabling better elimination of pests.
Volatile gases or other chemicals which release gases are being used for the process of fumigation. Fumigants are toxic; hence, they
can be used to control pests at every stage of their life form. This makes it more economical and feasible. Through fumigation,
chemicals can reach into small nicks where sprays, aerosols, dusts, etc. cannot reach. Fumigation is an ideal option for eliminating
pests for a longer duration.

Fumigation Market: Trends
Some of the chemicals used as active ingredients in fumigants are chloropicrin, methyl bromide, aluminum phosphide, and
magnesium phosphide. Fumigation is carried out in residential complexes, commercial buildings, and warehouses used to store grains,
etc.
The practice of fumigation has increased substantially of late. Changes in lifestyle and increase in awareness about the need for pest
control are key factors driving the global fumigation market. Fumigants are also used in warehouses involving the storage of grains.
However, their usage is restricted for maintaining the quality of certain food materials due to the considerable level of toxicity
associated with the use of certain fumigants. Fumigation works well with wooden structures; hence, it is used widely for the practice
of pest control in commercial buildings.
The fumigation market is expected to expand gradually in the near future due to the increase in the scope of application. Rise in
awareness about the benefits of fumigation over other techniques of pest control is anticipated to drive the market in the next few
years.
Fumigants are available in liquid, solid, as well as gaseous forms. Solid forms are available as powders, pellets, etc. These are
converted into gaseous state on being subjected to air or water. Chemicals available in the liquid form evaporate and function as
effective fumigants. Fumigants available in gaseous form can be sprayed easily onto the target. Currently, the solid form is widely
used among different forms of fumigants. However, the use of gaseous form of fumigants is estimated to increase in the near future.
