Insect Growth Regulators Market to Grow with a CAGR of 4.98% through 2030F

Rising prevalence of insect-borne diseases is expected to drive the Global Insect Growth Regulators Market growth in the forecast period, 2026-2030F.

According to TechSci Research report, “Insect Growth Regulators Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the Global Insect Growth Regulators Market stood at USD 1.79 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 2.02 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 4.98% during the forecast period. The Global Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs) Market is experiencing a notable upswing, primarily propelled by heightened environmental awareness and regulatory pressure. In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the severe environmental and health risks associated with the widespread use of traditional chemical pesticides. This increased awareness has led to a significant shift in consumer and industry attitudes toward more sustainable and eco-friendly pest control methods, with IGRs emerging as a front-runner in this transformation.

Environmental awareness has played a pivotal role in boosting the demand for IGRs. As concerns about pollution, biodiversity loss, and the long-term health of ecosystems have gained prominence, consumers, growers, and policymakers have sought alternatives to conventional pesticides. IGRs are viewed favorably because of their capacity to precisely target insect pests while minimizing collateral damage to non-target species, soil, water, and the broader environment. This targeted approach aligns well with the principles of sustainable agriculture and integrated pest management, making IGRs an attractive choice for those who prioritize environmentally friendly practices. Regulatory pressure has also been a driving force behind the growth of the Global IGRs Market. Governments and regulatory agencies worldwide have introduced stringent regulations and restrictions on the use of chemical pesticides due to their potential harm to human health and the environment. These regulations have led to the phasing out or banning of many traditional pesticides, creating a regulatory landscape conducive to the adoption of IGRs. As a result, growers and pest control professionals are increasingly turning to IGRs as a compliant and sustainable alternative that meets regulatory standards.

The combination of heightened environmental awareness and regulatory pressure has created a powerful impetus for the Global IGRs Market. Market players, ranging from established chemical companies to innovative biotech firms, are capitalizing on this momentum by investing in research and development, expanding their IGR product portfolios, and actively promoting these solutions to a receptive audience.

The Global Insect Growth Regulators Market is segmented into product, application, regional distribution, and company.

Based on the Application, the Agriculture segment is projected to be the fastest-growing player in the global Insect Growth Regulators (IGR) Market in 2024. As pest control remains a critical concern in agriculture, IGRs provide an efficient and sustainable solution to managing a wide range of agricultural pests. By targeting the developmental stages of insects, IGRs help control pest populations without the harmful environmental and health effects associated with traditional chemical pesticides. The growing challenge of pest resistance to chemical pesticides has accelerated the adoption of IGRs in agriculture. IGRs are less likely to lead to resistance development compared to conventional pesticides, making them an important part of resistance management strategies. This, combined with their effectiveness in reducing crop damage and increasing yields, has led to their rapid growth in the agriculture sector. With the increasing need for sustainable and eco-friendly pest control solutions, the Agriculture segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment in the global IGR market.

Based on region, The second dominant region in the Global Insect Growth Regulators Market was Europe. This region holds a substantial market share due to the increasing adoption of eco-friendly pest control solutions and stringent regulations on chemical insecticides imposed by governing bodies such as the European Union (EU) and European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).  European countries, particularly Germany, France, and the United Kingdom, are at the forefront of adopting Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies, where Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs) play a crucial role. The region’s strong emphasis on sustainable agriculture and reduced chemical pesticide usage has significantly increased the demand for Chitin Synthesis Inhibitors, Juvenile Hormone Analogs, and Ecdysone Agonists.

The rising incidence of vector-borne diseases, such as those caused by mosquitoes, has led to increased use of IGRs in public health programs. The expanding organic farming sector, driven by consumer preferences for chemical-free food products, has further boosted market growth, as IGRs provide an environmentally safe alternative for pest control. The ban on several conventional insecticides due to concerns over their harmful effects on non-target species and biodiversity has prompted agrochemical companies in Europe to invest heavily in bio-based insect growth regulators. The growing collaborations between government agencies and private sector players to develop advanced biopesticides are expected to strengthen the region’s market position further.

 “As global food demand increases, minimizing post-harvest losses caused by stored-product insects such as weevils, beetles, and moths has become a priority. IGRs are being increasingly used in grain storage facilities, food processing units, and warehouses to control infestations while ensuring food safety. Unlike conventional pesticides, IGRs prevent insect development without leaving toxic residues on food products, making them a preferred choice in regulated food industries. The European Union (EU), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and other regulatory bodies are promoting the use of low-toxicity alternatives, further driving market adoption. Consumer demand for chemical-free food products has encouraged food manufacturers to shift toward eco-friendly pest control solutions. Companies are investing in advanced formulations such as aerosol-based and fumigant IGRs to enhance pest management efficiency while meeting organic and sustainable food production standards. With increasing global trade and stricter food safety regulations, the demand for IGRs in post-harvest storage applications is expected to grow, positioning this as a significant trend in the market.” said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director of TechSci Research, a research-based management consulting firm.
