Kairomones is a semiochemical or allelochemicals that provoke a behavioral or physiological response in the receiver of the signal, which is beneficial to the receiver but not the emitter. Kairomones and synthetic pheromones are used for the biological control of insect pests. The growing demand for medicinal plants for herbal medicine at the global level is on the rise, which is also driving the global kairomones industry’s growth. Additionally, the growing organic food industry is focussing on increased organic food crops, by utilizing kairomones as pest control for increasing their yield. Owing to such factors, the demand for kairomones is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period. The global economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a huge drop in demand for plantation crops, floriculture and others, all across the world, which had a significant impact on the growth of the Kairomones market size.
