Market Overview:

Chloropicrin is a yellowish or colourless liquid that smells strongly. Another name of chloropicrin is trichloro-nitromethane. Though it was first created as a product of chemical warfare during World War I, its application in agriculture now outweighs its original use. Nowadays, farmers apply chloropicrin mainly as an insecticide and ground fumigant to control soil-borne pests and diseases. Chloropicrin is a chemical soil fumigant, primarily used prior to vegetable and fruit cultivation. It kills pests, weeds, and disease-causing microorganisms that inhabit the soil. It is primarily used in intensive cropping and greenhouse cropping in France. By making the soil better, the chemical encourages plant development. Chloropicrin is available in liquid and granular forms, depending on farmers' modes of application. Despite problems with the environment, chloropicrin remains very important in the agricultural sector due to its high and fast potency against most threats.

Driving Factor

The main factor propelling this industry is the preservation of crops and soils. Across France, farmers are applying chloropicrin to their fields to clear them of pests before planting. It is extremely widespread in flower, pepper, lettuce, and strawberry farming. Chloropicrin optimizes the capacity to have a rich harvest by controlling pests and enhancing plant wellness. Its wide spectrum of activity on insects, fungi, and nematodes makes it a reliable option, more so than organic pesticides.

Restraining Factor 

Soil fumigants are regulated in France and in Europe because they have the potential to affect health and the environment. Chloropicrin is applied only through the use of special equipment and experienced operators. It should not be used for recreational or unauthorized applications. This regulation adds to the expense of applying the product and makes it less desirable, especially for small farmers or for organic farmers.

Market Segmentation  

The France chloropicrin market share is classified into formulation and application. 

• The liquid chloropicrin segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period 

The France chloropicrin market is segmented by formulation into liquid chloropicrin, granular chloropicrin, and others. Among these, the liquid chloropicrin segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The segmental expansion can be attributed to after sowing, liquid chloropicrin is injected into the soil. It works deeply in the soil and spreads swiftly, which is advantageous in expansive farming areas.

• The soil fumigant segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period 

The France chloropicrin market is segmented by application into soil fumigant, fungicide, insecticide, herbicide, and others. Among these, the soil fumigant segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Chloropicrin is used on a large scale as a pre-plant soil fumigant for soil-borne disease management, nematodes, and weed seeds required for high crop yield. The ability of chloropicrin to sterilize the soil and inhibit crop diseases has made it the first priority among farmers and agricultural experts. Increasing demand for efficient soil fumigation technology for developed and developing nations is stimulating growth for chloropicrin in this sector.
