According to MarketsandMarkets, the agricultural pheromones market is projected to reach USD 8.2 billion by 2028 from 3.9 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 16.2% during the forecast period in terms of value. A number of variables influence the need for agricultural pheromones worldwide. Initially, there is a global shift away from chemical-intensive farming practices and a growing emphasis on sustainable agriculture practices.

In addition, farmers are looking for creative ways to maximize agricultural yields due to the growing world population and the necessity to increase food production. Pheromones are essential for enhancing pollination and elevating agricultural output. Regulatory demands and customer demands for pesticide-free produce have also accelerated the use of agricultural pheromones as a secure and environmentally friendly pest control method.
