The global semiochemicals market size was USD 4.24 Billion in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 15.35 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 15.85% during 2023–2031. The market growth is attributed to the increasing sustainable agricultural practices and growing support for government policies.
Semiochemicals are chemicals that convey information between organisms. The term semiochemical comes from the Greek word “Semeon”, which means signal or sign. They are used by many organisms such as insects, to communicate with others of their species or even with different species. Semiochemicals can be further divided into two main categories as pheromones and kairomones.
Semiochemicals can be used in various ways such as in pest management, where synthetic pheromones are used to lure pests into traps or to disrupt their mating behavior. They are also used in agriculture, for example, to attract or repel insects that damage crops.
The use of semiochemicals has the potential to provide effective and environmentally friendly solutions for pest management, agriculture, and conversation, while also contributing to scientific and medical research. Semiochemicals-based pest control techniques are mating disruption, mass trapping, attract and kill, and repellents.
The COVID-19 pandemic is negatively impacted the agricultural sector across the world, due to marketing disruptions, supply chain disruptions, and travel restrictions. During the pandemic, the growing concerns among food & health are led to a resurgence in demand for organic foods, fruits, and vegetables, which is expected to propel the market.
The global semiochemicals market report has up-to-date insights that help in formulating a strategic roadmap about the estimated market scenario and performance during 2023 to 2031.
Increasing demand for sustainable crop protection solutions is expected to drive the growth of the semiochemicals market. According to Food & Agricultural Organization (FAO) in 2018, 4,100 million tons of pesticides were used worldwide.
However, increasing knowledge among consumers regarding the harmful effects of chemical insecticides and pesticides on crops and human health has forced farmers across the world to improve their agricultural practices. Additionally, the increasing adoption of high-value crops such as fruits & vegetables, and organic commodities is projected to propel the market growth.
The lack of awareness regarding semiochemicals among farmers and biological pesticides being considered to be safer for crops is expected to hamper the market growth. However, the high price of semiochemicals in terms of the deployment process in the field as compared to synthetic pesticides and the physical limitations is expected to hinder the market growth.
The adoption of organic farming is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the semiochemicals market. However, the popularity of organic farming is increasing, due to the growing popularity of organic foods among customers, rising awareness regarding the harmful effects of chemical pesticides and fertilizers, and increasing health consciousness is boosting the market growth.

Based on type, the semiochemicals market is divided into pheromones, allomones, kairomones, and others. The pheromones segment is expected to expand at a significant growth rate during the projection period, due to the increasing adoption of automated devices to detect and monitor pests.
Pheromones are chemical substances that are produced by organisms such as animals or insects, to communicate with others of the same species. These chemicals are released into the environment and detected by the olfactory system of other individuals, who respond behaviorally or physiologically.
On the basis of application, the global market is segregated into mating disruption, mass trapping, detection & monitoring. The mating disruption segment is projected to register a considerable CAGR during the forecast period, due to its more effectiveness at low modest pest infestations. It controls the target species, reduces the number of mating, and prevents species from reproducing.
Based on crop type, the semiochemicals market is segmented into orchard crops, vegetable crops, field crops, and others. The orchard crops segment is expected to register a robust growth rate during the forecast period, due to the increasing demand for high-value crops among customers. Semiochemicals are applied to the orchard crops as compared to other crops. Orchard crops are also susceptible to pests such as codling moths, fruit flies, and peach tree borers.
In terms of region, the global semiochemicals market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. North America is expected to dominate the market during the projection period, due to the increasing application of integrated pest management (IPM) solutions for crop protection.
Increasing demand for high-yielding good quality foods in emerging countries such as Canada and the U.S. The growing government interventions to increase the utilization of sustainable pesticides are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
The market in Europe is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace in the coming years. The robust demand for organic commodities in emerging countries such as Italy, Germany, U.K., and France has required farmers to execute biological crop protection methods in pest management programs.
