Rodenticide Market Report 2025

The rodenticide market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.24 billion in 2024 to $7.93 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rise in awareness about sanitation and hygiene, the increase in demand from the hospitality and tourism sectors, the rise in construction activities, increased damage caused by rodents and the rise in vector-borne diseases.

The rodenticide market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.36 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to a growing agricultural industry, the rising number of warehouses, rising urbanization and growing food waste. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of fast-acting rodenticides to eradicate rodent infestations swiftly, offering direct-to-consumer (D2C) rodenticide platforms to specialized pest control companies or licensed professionals due to safety concerns, focus on product innovations and developing new product solutions to strengthen their position in the market and focus on partnerships and collaborations to improve their product portfolio and geographical presence.

The anticipated growth of the agricultural sector is expected to significantly boost the rodenticide market in the coming years. The agricultural industry encompasses businesses that engage in the cleaning, processing, storing, or packaging of various products primarily derived from agricultural production. Rodenticides play a crucial role in this sector by safeguarding agricultural products from infestations by rats, mice, and other rodent pests. For instance, in February 2024, the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, a UK government agency, reported a notable increase in average farm business income (FBI) across all UK farms, rising from USD 50,461 (£46,500) in 2020/21 to USD 78,133 (£72,000) in 2021/22. Additionally, the total income from farming (TIFF) in the UK reached $6.61 billion (£7.9 billion) in 2022, reflecting a 17% increase from 2021, which recorded USD 1.43 billion (£1.1 billion). Consequently, the growth of the agricultural industry is driving the expansion of the rodenticide market.

The increase in residential and commercial building construction is expected to boost the rodenticides market during the forecast period. Construction activities have surged due to rapid industrialization and urbanization. Rodents, including rats and mice, can cause significant damage to electrical wiring and walls in both commercial and residential properties. Such damage has been noted in various settings, including homes, hotels, office buildings, retail spaces, manufacturing facilities, food preparation and storage areas, and public utilities. Rodenticides are essential for keeping these rodents away from buildings to ensure their safety. Additionally, rodent-proof construction techniques are being adopted to mitigate damage. For example, in March 2024, the Australian Bureau of Statistics, a government agency in Australia, reported that there were 30,992 new private houses built, reflecting a 3.7% increase from December and a 14.6% rise since March 2023. Moreover, completions of other private residential buildings rose to 14,844 dwellings, marking a 5.6% increase compared to December 2023. Thus, the rise in construction activities is set to drive the rodenticide market.

The construction boom is a significant factor contributing to the growth of the rodenticides market in the forecast period. The increased construction of residential and commercial buildings, fueled by industrialization and urbanization, has led to a surge in rodenticide use. Rodents pose a threat to constructions, causing damage to wiring and walls. With construction activities on the rise globally, the need for rodenticides to protect buildings from rodent damage is expected to grow.

Major companies in the rodenticides market are concentrating on product innovations and developing new technologies, such as future-proof technologies, to improve efficacy, safety, and environmental sustainability while meeting evolving consumer demands and regulatory requirements. Future-proof technologies refer to innovations intended to remain relevant and effective as conditions and needs change. These technologies are characterized by their flexibility, scalability, and adaptability, allowing them to adjust to rapid shifts in markets and user needs. For example, in February 2024, Syngenta, a Switzerland-based agricultural technology company, launched SecureChoice. This product can be easily installed during construction or renovation projects or retrofitted into existing buildings, particularly in hard-to-reach areas favored by rodents.

The rodenticide market consists of sales of non-anticoagulant rodenticides such as bromethalin, zinc phosphide and cholecalciferol. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

Rodenticides are formulated from substances that are frequently hazardous and commonly found in households. Typically, these rodenticides are created as baits designed to attract animals, with various flavors such as fish oil, molasses, or peanut butter to lure rodent pests. Rodenticides are employed for the purpose of exterminating rats, mice, and other types of rodent pests.

The main categories of rodenticides are anticoagulant and non-anticoagulant. Anticoagulants act as blood thinners that eliminate rodents by preventing normal blood clotting. These rodenticides come in different forms such as pellets, sprays, powder, and others, and find applications in various settings including agricultural fields, warehouses, pest control companies, and other relevant areas.
