Molluscicides Market Research Report: Information by Type (Chemical (Metaldehyde, Methiocarb, Ferric Phosphate, and Others) and Biological), Form (Dry and Liquid), Crop Type (Vegetables & Fruits, Cereals & Grains, Oilseeds & Pulses, Ornaments and Turf, and Others), and Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World)—Forecast till 2030

Market Scenario

The global Molluscicides Market is expected to register a CAGR of 8.67% from 2022 to 2030 and reach USD 889 million by the end of 2030. Mollusks are pests which feed on crops. Most common mollusks are snails and slugs. Snail and slugs feed on leaves, stems, and roots of plants. The large infestation of snails and slugs are also known to consume whole young seedling. They attack and feed on a wide variety of plants. Mollusks attacks on plants result in significantly decreased productivity of plant and may also cause the death of the crop. Molluscicides are applied to crops and plants to kill the mollusks. Increasing cultivation of high-value horticultural crops, which are widely attacked by mollusks, is predicted to drive the growth of the global molluscicides market. The growing awareness coupled with increased adoption of integrated pest management is expected to fuel the growth of global molluscicides market. However, stringent rules and regulations on the use of molluscicides may hamper the growth of the global molluscicides market. Product development and innovations in molluscicides such as the introduction of eco-friendly molluscicides provides an excellent opportunity for the players in the global molluscicides market.
