Molluscicides Market is set to grow due to rising plant diseases, aquaculture use, and global demand for horticulture and agricultural productivity from 2026 to 2030.

According to the TechSci Research report titled “Molluscicides Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030,” the global molluscicides market was valued at USD 957.26 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.33% through 2030. This growth is fueled by a range of key drivers, including rising global agricultural activities, the increasing prevalence of mollusk-borne crop damage, and expanding applications in the aquaculture industry. The growing need to ensure food security and improve crop yields has made effective pest control an essential component of modern agriculture.

One of the primary factors driving demand in the molluscicides market is the increasing frequency of plant diseases and crop losses due to mollusk infestations, particularly from slugs and snails. These pests are highly destructive to vegetables, fruits, and cereals, posing a serious threat to both food supply chains and farmers’ incomes. As a result, there is growing reliance on molluscicides to protect crops from yield loss and maintain the quality of agricultural produce.

Additionally, technological advancements and the introduction of environmentally friendly molluscicides are gaining popularity. New formulations are designed to be biodegradable, less toxic to non-target organisms, and compatible with sustainable farming practices. These developments align well with the global trend toward organic agriculture and integrated pest management (IPM), which emphasize minimal environmental disruption while effectively managing pest populations.

The expanding aquaculture industry is another important factor contributing to the molluscicides market. Mollusks can interfere with aquatic farming operations by damaging infrastructure, competing with farmed species for food, or spreading disease. The increased deployment of molluscicides in fish farms and aquatic crop facilities helps maintain water quality and protect aquatic species, thereby supporting higher yields and profitability.

Government support and agricultural subsidies are further fueling growth. Numerous government initiatives aimed at improving agricultural productivity and ensuring food security include measures to educate farmers on pest control techniques and encourage the adoption of modern agricultural inputs. These programs enhance awareness of molluscicides and provide financial support to farmers, particularly in developing regions.

Despite these favorable conditions, the molluscicides market faces certain challenges. Stringent environmental regulations, especially in regions like Europe and North America, are placing restrictions on the use of certain chemical-based molluscicides due to their potential toxic effects on ecosystems and non-target species. As a result, manufacturers are under pressure to innovate and develop safer, more sustainable alternatives that meet regulatory standards while still offering effective pest control.

The market is segmented by type, form, application, regional distribution, and company. Among the various product forms available, pellet-based molluscicides are witnessing the fastest growth and gaining strong preference among users. Pellets are appreciated for their convenience, precision in dosage, and high efficacy. They can be evenly distributed across fields, gardens, and aquatic farming zones and offer extended persistence due to their resistance to environmental degradation. This ensures long-lasting protection against mollusks with minimal labor input, making them an attractive option for both large-scale farmers and home gardeners.

The segment’s strong performance can also be attributed to its cost-effectiveness and versatility, allowing for application across different crop types and farming systems. Moreover, many pellet-based molluscicides are now being formulated with eco-friendly ingredients, meeting the dual demand for performance and sustainability.

Regionally, Europe is emerging as a key growth area in the global molluscicides market. The region’s agricultural sector has been increasingly impacted by mollusk infestations, especially in countries like the UK, France, and Germany, where wet and temperate climates create favorable conditions for slugs and snails. These pests are known to cause extensive damage to crops such as lettuce, strawberries, potatoes, and cereal grains, leading to significant economic losses.

European farmers are thus turning to molluscicides as a preventive and corrective measure to manage these threats. Furthermore, the region's strict regulatory landscape is encouraging the use of low-toxicity and targeted molluscicides, driving the development of innovative products. The increasing adoption of organic farming practices and the implementation of IPM strategies are also contributing to market growth, as molluscicides become integrated into broader, eco-conscious pest control programs.

In addition, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to offer significant growth opportunities during the forecast period, fueled by large-scale agricultural production, government investments in food security, and the modernization of farming practices. Countries like China, India, and Vietnam are rapidly adopting advanced crop protection products to address the twin challenges of increasing food demand and pest-induced crop damage.

The competitive landscape of the global molluscicides market is characterized by the presence of several key players engaged in developing innovative, sustainable, and efficient products. These companies are also focused on strategic initiatives such as mergers, acquisitions, partnerships, and regional expansions to strengthen their market positions and meet the growing global demand.

In conclusion, the global molluscicides market is on a strong growth trajectory, driven by rising agricultural and aquaculture activities, increasing pest-related challenges, and growing demand for sustainable pest control solutions. While regulatory pressures and environmental concerns present challenges, they also open avenues for innovation and the development of safer, more efficient products. With continued emphasis on food security and sustainable agriculture, the molluscicides market is poised to play a vital role in the future of global food production.
