• Leading companies are introducing species-specific pheromone formulations that improve effectiveness against pests such as codling moth in apples and tomato leafminer in vegetable crops

Middle East and Africa Agricultural Pheromones Market Dynamics

Driver

“Growing Adoption of Sustainable Agricultural Practices”

  • Farmers in the Middle East and Africa are increasingly adopting eco-friendly pest control methods as part of sustainable agricultural practices
  • Pheromone-based products offer a targeted, non-toxic solution by disrupting pest mating cycles instead of eliminating insects directly
  • Rising global concerns over pesticide-related health and environmental hazards are pushing local governments to promote integrated pest management strategies
  • The growth of organic farming and export-oriented horticulture has increased the demand for residue-free pest control alternatives

    • For instance, organic date farms in the UAE have widely adopted pheromone traps to meet international export standards

  • Training programs, field demonstrations, and improved access to advanced pheromone dispensers are playing a key role in encouraging adoption among farmers in the region

Restraint/Challenge

“Limited Awareness and Technical Knowledge”

  • Adoption of agricultural pheromones in the Middle East and Africa is slowed by low awareness and limited technical know-how among small and medium farmers
  • Many farmers do not fully understand how to correctly use pheromone traps or mating disruption systems, leading to underperformance and distrust
  • Availability issues and poor distribution infrastructure make it difficult for remote areas to access these specialized products consistently
  • High initial costs and the need for accurate placement and regular replacement discourage widespread use, especially among resource-limited growers

    • For instance, smallholder maize farmers in Kenya often opt for cheaper chemical solutions

  • Limited access to expert extension services and integrated pest management training keeps conventional pesticide use prevalent, highlighting the need for targeted education programs and support initiatives across the region

Middle East and Africa Agricultural Pheromones Market Scope

The agricultural pheromones market in the Middle East and Africa is segmented into type, product type, nature, mode of application, species, crop type, function, and distribution channel.

• By Type

On the basis of type, the agricultural pheromones market is segmented into sex pheromones, aggregation pheromones, repellent pheromones, and others. The sex pheromones segment dominated the market in 2024 due to their high effectiveness in disrupting insect mating cycles, especially in date palm and citrus crops. Their targeted action and eco-safety make them a preferred pest control tool.

The repellent pheromones segment is expected to witness the fastest growth rate from 2025 to 2032, supported by the increasing need for low-residue pest control. These pheromones are gaining popularity in vegetable farming for offering a natural deterrent against pest invasions.

• By Product Type

Based on product type, the agricultural pheromones market is segmented into spray, traps, dispensers, and others. The dispensers segment accounted for the largest share in 2024 due to their long duration of efficacy and slow-release properties, often used in orchards and vineyards.

The traps segment is expected to witness the fastest growth rate from 2025 to 2032, as farmers adopt low-maintenance pest monitoring systems. Traps are widely used in tomato and pepper cultivation due to their easy deployment and cost-effectiveness.

• By Nature

On the basis of nature, the agricultural pheromones market is segmented into synthetic and organic. The synthetic segment held the largest market share in 2024, driven by better product availability, affordability, and proven consistency across crops such as maize and cotton.

The organic segment is expected to witness the fastest growth rate from 2025 to 2032, with rising consumer demand for chemical-free food production. Organic pheromones are gaining adoption in certified organic farms producing fruits and vegetables.

• By Mode of Application

On the basis of mode of application, the agricultural pheromones market is segmented into dispensers, traps, spray, and others. The dispensers segment led the market in 2024 due to widespread usage in large-scale fruit farms, providing continuous release and reduced labor.

The spray segment is expected to witness the fastest growth rate from 2025 to 2032, driven by its application in cereal crops such as sorghum and millet where broad and uniform coverage is essential.

• By Species

Based on species, the agricultural pheromones market is segmented into codling moth, bollworms, fruit fly, leafrollers, and others. The fruit fly segment dominated the market in 2024, particularly in countries such as Egypt and South Africa where stone and citrus fruits are heavily cultivated.

The bollworms segment is expected to witness the fastest growth rate from 2025 to 2032, mainly in cotton-producing regions where resistance to chemical pesticides is rising.

• By Crop Type

On the basis of crop type, the agricultural pheromones market is segmented into field crops, orchard crops, vegetables, and others. Orchard crops held the largest share in 2024 due to strong adoption in citrus, mango, and pomegranate farms where mating disruption is commonly used.

The Vegetables is expected to witness the fastest growth rate from 2025 to 2032, supported by increasing greenhouse production in countries such as Kenya and Morocco, and the need for low-residue pest solutions.

• By Function

By function, the agricultural pheromones market is segmented into mating disruption, mass trapping, and detection and monitoring. The mating disruption segment dominated the market in 2024, widely used across fruit plantations to reduce insect reproduction and infestation levels.

Detection and monitoring is expected to witness the fastest growth rate from 2025 to 2032, supported by precision farming initiatives and increasing reliance on integrated pest management practices for pest tracking.

• By Distribution Channel

On the basis of distribution channel, the agricultural pheromones market is segmented into direct sales, retail sales, and online sales. Direct sales led the market in 2024 due to bulk purchases by commercial farms and long-term contracts with agricultural suppliers.

Online sales is expected to witness the fastest growth rate from 2025 to 2032, enabled by digital platforms improving product accessibility, particularly in remote regions and for smallholder farmers across the region.
