The global Methyl Bromide market is projected to reach US$ 589.4 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 3.9% from 2024 to 2030. As an essential fumigant in agriculture and pest control, its regulated use continues to create opportunities despite environmental concerns. This growth trajectory reflects demand from key applications, including soil treatment and quarantine processes, particularly in regions with strict phytosanitary requirements.
Methyl Bromide remains critical for pre-plant soil fumigation and commodity treatment, though alternatives are gaining traction. The market’s progression balances regulatory restrictions with niche applications where no effective substitutes exist. Recent approvals for critical use exemptions (CUEs) in certain countries highlight its ongoing role in safeguarding agricultural productivity and trade compliance.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis
North America leads methyl bromide consumption, accounting for over 26% of global demand, driven by its continued use in strawberry and tomato cultivation under carefully controlled conditions. The United States market alone is projected to reach US$ 151.2 million by 2030, growing at 3.6% CAGR, supported by USDA-approved critical use exemptions for high-value crops.
Asia-Pacific shows steady growth, particularly in China and India, where methyl bromide remains integral to grain storage and export quarantine protocols. Europe’s market is more constrained by environmental policies, focusing primarily on controlled applications in pharmaceuticals and specialty agriculture. Emerging markets in South America and Africa continue to rely on methyl bromide for pest control in export-oriented agriculture, though adoption of alternatives is accelerating.
Key Market Drivers and Opportunities
The market persists due to methyl bromide’s unmatched efficacy against soil-borne pathogens and quarantine pests. Its rapid action and broad-spectrum effectiveness make it indispensable for high-value crop protection and international trade compliance. Recent developments include precision application technologies that minimize emissions while maintaining efficacy—these innovations create growth opportunities in regulated markets.
Emerging opportunities lie in pharmaceutical applications and specialized industrial uses where alternatives prove inadequate. The development of closed-system application methods and recapture technologies helps address environmental concerns, potentially extending methyl bromide’s commercial viability in regulated markets. Investment in these application technologies represents a key growth area for industry players.
Challenges & Restraints
The market faces significant headwinds from the Montreal Protocol’s phase-out requirements and increasing environmental regulations. While critical use exemptions persist, the approval process becomes more stringent annually. Many countries have implemented complete bans, restricting market expansion. Furthermore, the development of effective alternatives like methyl iodide and sulfuryl fluoride continues to erode methyl bromide’s market share in traditional applications.
Trade restrictions and the high cost of compliance with environmental regulations add operational complexity. The specialized handling requirements and necessary worker protections increase costs, making methyl bromide treatments significantly more expensive than emerging alternatives in many applications.
