Pest Control in the UK - Industry Market Research Report

Revenue is forecast to climb at a compound annual rate of 7% over the five years through 2023-24 to £1 billion. Councils have increasingly outsourced pest control services owing to government spending cuts, driving demand for private pest control services. Most local authorities now use private firms to fulfil their public health obligations. Firms that manufacture, store or sell food have been forced to maintain anti-pest measures because of their legal obligation to protect public health. This, coupled with growth in the number of food-related businesses operating in the United Kingdom, also enhanced industry demand. Companies in the industry provide disinfecting services. They also exterminate insects and other pests and offer fumigation services. The industry does not cover the control of agricultural pests.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
