Female ferrets need to be neutered to prevent them from developing aplastic anaemia, an unpleasant and usually fatal condition suffered by female ferrets who don't mate. It can also be prevented by allowing them to mate with a vasectomised male (as opposed to a neutered male), but these can be hard to find. Another way is with a "Jill jab," a hormone injection administered by a veterinary surgeon. There is some evidence that the Jill jab is the best way as it's less likely to lead to health complications than neutering.
Male ferrets need to be neutered because if they're not, during mating season they become very stinky sex pests.
