Executive Summary
According to a new report, titled, 'Pest Control Market,' The global pest control market was valued at $24.6 billion in 2022, and is projected to reach $42.5 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2023 to 2032.Pest control refers to the management or regulation of pests, which can damage crops, property, or threaten human health. The objective of pest management measures is to lessen or eradicate pests to lessen their impact and stop additional infestations. Pests can be insects (including ants, termites, and mosquitoes), rodents (such as rats and mice), birds, wildlife, and other species like fungus and weeds. They may slow down the production of agriculture, harm buildings, contaminate food supply, and spread disease. Depending on the type of pest, the extent of the infestation, and the habitat in which they occur, different pest management techniques may be used. To ensure efficient and safe treatment of pests while minimizing threats to people, pets, and the environment, it is frequently carried out by professional pest control firms or individuals with specialized training.
Pest control plays a crucial role in the prevention and management of vector-borne diseases which drives the markets’ growth. Vector-borne diseases are infectious diseases caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, or parasites that are spread to people or animals by the bite of infected vectors, such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, sandflies, and some species of flies. Malaria, dengue fever, Zika virus, chikungunya, West Nile virus, Lyme disease, tick-borne encephalitis, yellow fever, sleeping sickness (African trypanosomiasis), leishmaniasis, and plague are a few examples of diseases transmitted by vectors. Pest control methods assist in stopping the cycle of transmission of vector-borne diseases by efficiently lowering vector populations. This helps safeguard public health, prevents the spread of infectious diseases, and makes communities safer and healthier. Many manufacturers across the globe are introducing several types of pest control services to control vector borne diseases.
For instance, in June 2020, Ecolab introduced the pest elimination rodent ceiling service, which offers additional monitoring and safety in difficult-to-access ceiling areas. The supply chain is increasingly at risk from rodents for both brand reputation and food safety. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) state that rodents can contaminate food and food contact surfaces and spread more than 35 diseases to people. This service will boost the demand for the pest control market. Moreover, in September 2020, Anticimex acquired Sam Pest Management, which offers pest control services to both the B2C and B2B market sectors. This acquisition will strengthen the product portfolio of the pest control market. Owing to these factors, the increasing prevalence of vector borne diseases will stimulate the pest control market during the forecast period.
The rise in agricultural activities due to increased food demand drives the market for pest control. Rise in population, urbanization, increased per capita income, changing diets and lifestyles have boosted the demand for food. Pest control plays a crucial role in increasing agricultural activities by managing and minimizing the damage caused by pests. Pests, such as insects, weeds, and plant diseases, may severely damage crops, reducing yields and economic losses for farmers. Insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides are effective pest control methods that help protect crops from damage, promote their healthy growth, and increase yields. Many manufacturers are offering their pest control products that are widely used for protection of agricultural crops.
For instance, in January 2023, BASF SE launched Axalion Active, a novel insecticide active ingredient that controls insect pests like whiteflies and aphids, which can cause severe production damage and subsequent income loss This product launch will boost the demand for the pest control market. Furthermore, in November 2021, Syngenta AG, a leader in crop protection, launched PLINAZOLIN technology, a new and innovative active ingredient with a novel mode of action for insect control that will help growers protect their crops from a wide range of pests. Owing to these factors, the rise in agricultural activities expanded the demand for pest control market.
The stringent regulations imposed on the use of pest control methods and products restrain the growth of pest control market. Pesticides have severe adverse effects on human health and the environment. Long term exposure to pesticides can affect the human health by causing headaches, lightheadedness, nausea, vomiting, breathing problems, rashes on the skin or eyes, and in extreme circumstances, seizures or even death. Some pesticides have a long half-life in the environment and may have long-term negative effects.
Pesticides that are persistent can build up in soil and affect earthworms, bacteria, and other species that live there. This may affect the soil's overall health, nutrient cycling, and fertility. The reproduction of many flowering plants, including many food crops, depends on bees and other pollinators. Pesticide exposure's effects on pollinators can have a significant impact on agricultural production, biodiversity, and food security. There are various government regulations for pesticide use, including registration and approval, labeling requirements, setting maximum residue limits, and others.
A pesticide normally needs to go through a registration process with the regulatory body before it can be marketed and used. This means providing scientific information on the pesticide's effectiveness, safety, and effects on the environment. Furthermore, pesticides in food products are subject to maximum residual limits imposed by regulatory agencies. In addition, labels for pesticides must be accurate and contain crucial information for their safe and efficient usage. Application, dosage rate, timing, personal protection equipment (PPE) requirements, first aid procedures, and disposal instructions are all included on the labelling. Any limitations, such as pre-harvest intervals, re-entry times, or restrictions on use close to water bodies, are also noted on the labels.
Moreover, pesticides in food products are subject to maximum residual limits imposed by regulatory agencies. The maximum permissible concentration of pesticide residues in agricultural produce is specified by Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs). Food safety and consumer health are protected through consistent monitoring and enforcement of MRLs. Owing to these various regulations implemented on the usage of pesticides, the growth of the pest control market is hampered.
Rapid advancements in technology are an excellent opportunity for the pest control market to expand. Technological developments have impacted pest control techniques, introducing novel strategies that improve efficacy, efficiency, and sustainability. Sensor technology and monitoring systems, smart traps and monitoring devices, and automated and robotic systems are few examples of technological developments in the pest control market. Real-time monitoring and early insect detection are aided by sensors and monitoring systems. These devices can track population dynamics, look for pests, and gather information on the environment. Automated alarms and data analysis enable farmers to move quickly, carry out focused interventions, and stop pest outbreaks.
In addition, technologies including pheromone-based attractants, digital sensors, and wireless communication are used by smart traps and monitoring equipment. These tools can identify and capture pests, providing real-time data on activity and population levels. Farmers can choose the best pest management methods by precisely tracking pest presence and abundance. Furthermore, incorporating pest monitoring data, weather data, and pest control standards into software platforms for integrated pest management (IPM) promotes decision-making easier. These technologies support farmers in the efficient application of IPM methods, the optimization of pest control measures, and the documentation of pest management procedures for compliance and traceability. Owing to these factors, the rapid technological advancements created a lucrative growth opportunity for the pest control market.
