Europe Agricultural Pheromones Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Pheromones are chemicals produced by insects to communicate with one another. These chemicals help in attracting mates, warning each other about predators, and finding food. These are used in agriculture for crop protection. There are other ways of crop protection too amongst which one is pesticides. Pesticides are used for crop protection but they also harm the crop to an extent whereas, pheromones are better for crops as they are safe.

Europe Agricultural Pheromones Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increasing demand for high-value crops

High-value crops have higher market value than traditional crops. The fruits & nuts segment holds the largest market share and the reason behind it is the increasing demand for high-value crops as it is a high trend to stay fit, and the rising awareness towards health consciousness leads to the preference for high-value crops due to their nutritional value.

• Advancement in integrated pest management solution

Integrated pest management is a strategy that is eco-based and focuses on pest control, damage caused by pests, and pest prevention for a long time. These strategies are a combination of techniques such as modification of cultural practices, biological control, habitat manipulation, and the use of resistant varieties. Integrated pest management is continuous management and integration of strategies such as the span method, monitoring of pests and natural enemies, use of thresholds for decisions, and so on.

• Rising need for pest management activities for sustainable agriculture

Sustainable agriculture is very important so that our future generation does not have to suffer. The pest-damaging crop is a major problem worldwide. It harms the crop either directly, by eating leaves, fruits, and stems, or indirectly by transmitting bacteria, fungal infection, or viral into the crop and causing loss of crop.

Opportunities

Biosafety pesticides are generally pesticides that bring no harm to crops or any insect. These days people are very health conscious and into organic and chemical-free living. Before consuming any kind of product, the consumer mostly checks its health benefits. Hence, the rising demand and continuous innovation in biosafety pesticides such as agricultural pheromones owing to their sustainable nature are expected to generate immense opportunities in the forecast period.

Restraints/Challenges

• High prices of agricultural pheromones as compared to conventional pesticides

Pheromones and pesticides are very different but serve the same purpose that is, pest control and pest management. Pesticides are not safe as they not only kill the pest but damage crops too either directly by affecting the crops or indirectly by injecting some virus. In the case of pheromones, these are safe and do not harm any crops. But despite having this quality, pheromones are very expensive as compared to pesticides. Thus, the high prices of agricultural pheromones are expected to restrain market growth
