Europe Pest Control Market Outlook, 2027

Insect, rodent, and bed bug invasions can be stopped or avoided by using pest management. Through numerous illnesses, these pests not only destroy the crops but also threaten human lives. Chemical, biological, and mechanical pest control methods are some of the professional pest control treatments available. Any form of pest control service must start with an inspection. Some of the pest types are insects, termites, rodents, wildlife, and other pests. A decline in milk production; a cost to plough degraded soil and the loss of subsidies for no-plow areas; a cost for new seed and replanting; an infection with viral, bacterial, and fungal diseases when plants are injured; damage to cables and machinery; undermined roads and road edges; and a cost for rodent management are all consequences of rodent outbreaks in Europe. In addition, zoonotic diseases can spread from rodent hosts to people, domesticated animals, and cattle. Although the economic impacts of rodent-borne illnesses are poorly understood, they are evidently detrimental on all scales, from the personal to the national. Rodent infestations, however, can cause significant losses in plant output in forestry and agriculture, endangering the viability of particular agricultural operations. Additionally, digging and biting can cause structural damage. During times of high rodent abundance, there is an increased chance of zoonotic diseases spreading. During epidemics, mice directly cause damage that leads to agricultural loss or lower crop quality. The early return of livestock from pastures to stables, the need to buy substitute feed, the establishment of weeds in areas of bare soil that must be managed, the contamination of cut grass by soil, which lowers the quality of the silage and, ultimately, increases the cost of the silage, are all examples of secondary damage and costs that can happen. This pest is common in a variety of settings, including commercial, residential, industrial, agricultural, and other applications.

According to the report titled Europe Pest Control Market Outlook, 2027 the European pest control market size was around USD 4 Billion in 2021, that is expected to grow with CAGR above 5% by the end of the forecast period. As a result, the rodents segment dominated the market share in 2021 and will continue to dominate the market with a CAGR of more than 6% from 2022 to 2027.The key drivers propelling the expansion of the pest control market in Europe are the rise in agricultural production and the demand for pesticides for crop protection. In addition, climate change, which is affecting the entire world, including Europe, is a major driver in the rise in demand for pest management goods and services since it contributes to temperature increases, which are ideal for an increase in insect populations. However, a significant barrier to the market's expansion has been the toxicity of pesticides and their detrimental effects on both human and animal health. Consumers in the agriculture and food industries seek pesticides with low harmful levels due to their related negative health consequences. Small-scale service providers with low prices are becoming more prevalent in Europe. This is one of the market trends for pest control that have been seen recently.

Some of the pest control methods that are used and new methods being used are bio-rational products, insect growth regulation, nontoxic heat treatments, and second generation green products. Numerous crop protection strategies have been developed to avoid and reduce crop losses brought on by pests in the field (pre harvest losses) and during storage (postharvest losses). Crop protection refers to goods, methods, and techniques that farmers can utilise to safeguard their yield against pests, maladies, and weeds. Crops are deprived of sunshine, nutrients, and water by weeds. Disease and insects both have the potential to affect food output. Every day, farmers make decisions on the best ways to protect their crops by utilising numerous techniques, including biological control, microbial pesticides, pest behaviour, genetic modification, and plant immunisation of insect populations. Fortunately, technological advancements in contemporary agriculture have led to a wide range of options. Even though there has been much discussion about the sustainability of agriculture and despite the introduction of pesticides that may be used at low dosages, the average usage of pesticides in Europe has not decreased in recent years. The vast majority of them were used in agriculture.

COVID-19 Impact

Unfortunately, this is one of the direct and most catastrophic effects of the pandemic, affecting even the European pest management business, as it has disrupted services and manufacturing across the continent. However, it is believed that things will get back to normal as a result of the population's widespread immunisation program's sluggish but steady development. Therefore, businesses start to exert all the required effort to be active, relevant in the market, and stand out in comparison to their competitors, regardless of their line of business.

The approach of the report:

This report consists of a combined approach of primary as well as secondary research. Initially, secondary research was used to get an understanding of the market and listing out the companies that are present in the market. The secondary research consists of third-party sources such as press releases, annual report of companies, analysing the government generated reports and databases. After gathering the data from secondary sources primary research was conducted by making telephonic interviews with the leading players about how the market is functioning and then conducted trade calls with dealers and distributors of the market. Post this we have started doing primary calls to consumers by equally segmenting consumers in regional aspects, tier aspects, age group, and gender. Once we have primary data with us we have started verifying the details obtained from secondary sources.
