Market Overview of Global Molluscicides market:
According to our latest research, the global Molluscicides market looks promising in the next 5 years. As of 2022, the global Molluscicides market was estimated at USD 779.29 million, and it's anticipated to reach USD 1141.06 million in 2028, with a CAGR of 6.56% during the forecast years.
Molluscicides are chemicals or plant extracts that are used to control mollusks (snails and slugs). Various types of molluscicides typically have similar modes of action. Molluscicides are touched or ingested by the slug or snail, then the chemicals manipulate the water balance of the animal. By affecting the amount of water in the mollusk's body, the molluscicides put the slugs or snails on the path to organ failure and inhibit healthy body functions.
International trade is blocked
Due to the serious domestic and international epidemics, products cannot come in or go out. The number of international shipping voyages has decreased and the transportation cost is high. Many countries have adopted measures such as prohibiting entry, leading to the cancellation of business activities and procurement plans, and the decrease in the number of foreign orders, which exacerbated the survival crisis of export enterprises.
COVID-19 affects upstream raw material supply
The global outbreak of COVID-19 has had a huge impact on the chemical market to a large extent, and this impact is gradually permeating with the transition of the post-pandemic era of globalization. Under the background of raw material procurement difficulties, soaring input costs and prolonged delivery cycle, the growth of molluscicides boom index gradually slowed down.
COVID-19 affects downstream demand
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the agricultural industry all across the globe. COVID-19 resulted in labor mobility restrictions, closure of production facilities, and a drop in the demand for the products has hindered the market growth. The agriculture industry, on the other hand, was overwhelmingly supported by governments around the world, and huge efforts were made to manage the streamline of their operations as usual in order to maintain productivity. The continued movement of agri-food products and inputs was considered essential by North American countries, such as Canada, to manage the COVID-19 pandemic. The Canadian government announced that crop inputs would be considered essential commodities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Great harm of mollusks
Being largely herbivorous, land snails cause immense damage to both cultivated and useful non-cultivated plants. Snails are carriers of diseases and vectors of pests. A large population of snails, however, inhabits freshwaters, where the larvae of parasitic trematodes also pass part of their life. Many aquatic snails act as vectors for the larvae of trematodes and thereby cause a number of diseases. Two diseases carried by aquatic snails, fascioliasis and schistosomiasis cause immense harm to man and his domestic animals. Snails are next only to insects in the harm they cause to mankind. Aside from slugs and snails in the garden or on a farm, mollusks can also harm commercial and industrial business in bodies of water. Mollusks can clog pipes, damage equipment and costs businesses significant amounts of money in lost efficiency. Therefore, the use of molluscicides to eliminate these pests is necessary.
Strict environmental protection supervision
Different control methods are employed by farmers against slugs and snails, which causes significant damage to crops. Chemical molluscicides are toxic to other aquatic animals and produce additional environmental pollution. The mechanism of action of niclosamide limits oxygen intake, influences enzymatic activity, and disrupts the physiological function of aquatic animals. Such negative results have caused economic losses and affected the development of the aquaculture industry. Strict guidelines and frameworks are in place to prevent the rampant use of harmful pesticides due to their high toxicity levels and drastic effects on the environment when they enter food chains. For instance, the European Union has banned the use of methiocarb slug pellets due to their hazardous effect on grain-eating farm birds such as finches and sparrows. The other major slug pellet product used is metaldehyde, which is considered an emerging pollutant and is more frequently found in watercourses above the EU statutory drinking water limit of 0.1 ?g L-¹ for a pesticide.
Region Overview:
From 2023-2028, China is estimated to witness robust growth prospects.
Segmentation Overview:
By type, Metaldehyde segment accounted for the largest share of market in 2022.
Ferrous Phosphate
Ferrous phosphate is a new molluscicides developed in recent years, which can effectively control lacewing and snail in lawns, ornamental plants, vegetables, berries and other areas. The product is safe to aquatic organisms and low toxic to higher animals and humans.
Methiocarb
Methiocarb is a synthetic carbamate ester, aryl sulfide compound, acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, and neurotoxin that is used as a pesticide.
Metaldehyde
Metaldehyde is an agent that kills snails, slugs, snails and other mollusks by means of contact and stomach toxicity.
Other bio-based molluscicides
Many plants have high target specificity and killing activity against mollusks. Active molluscicidal substances have been successfully found in more than 1500 plants, and the chemical structures of nearly 100 plants have been clarified. It mainly concentrates in furan coumarin, terpenoids, flavonoids, naphthalene and alkaloids.
Application Overview:
By application, the Field crops segment occupied the biggest share from 2018 to 2022.
Field crops
Field Crops Field crops include corn, cotton, rice, sorghum, soybeans, winter wheat, durum wheat, and spring wheat. Declining crop productivity due to rising number of slugs and snails has resulted to inclination towards application of molluscicides to crops among the farmers.
Horticultural crops
Horticultural crops include fruits, vegetables, medicinal, aromatic plant. These crops are important dietary nutritional components and sources of medicines and aroma along with significant esthetic values for human beings.
Turf and ornamentals
Commercial ornamental plant growers have to satisfy various consumer requirements in order to deliver high-quality plants. One of the most important of these requirements is the aesthetic value of the ornamental plants, and desired plant habit such as plant height or compactness and number of flowers, that makes them more desirable for purchase by consumers. In order to produce high-quality plants, growers use molluscicides to ensure healthy plant growth.
