Pest Control Market Drivers, Opportunity, Challenges, and Forecast to 2026

The overall pest control market is projected to grow from USD 22.7 billion in 2021 to USD 29.1 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 5.1%. The rise in the popularity of pest control solutions can be attributed to the increasing scope of urbanization in developing markets and the emergence of megacities, which host over 15-20 million residents. Markets such as China and India are among the key markets targeted by pest control service providers and pesticide suppliers due to their high population density and a large middle-class population that is adopting pest control services in the region.

Drivers: Rising adoption of digital applications and technology

One of the most important aspects of food safety in the global food supply chains is pest control. The changes in the way food are produced, sourced, and distributed, along with climate changes, have led to an increase in risks of food safety from pests. In addition, more stringent regulations for food safety and changes in consumer demands are the key factors that are projected to encourage food producers/manufacturers to find more efficient and sustainable ways to ensure food quality and safety. Changes in consumer habits, such as online shopping, have led to an increase in the use of automation in the supply chain, which allows pests to thrive where there are few or no humans around to notice pest infestations or deter pests, such as rats and mice. Thus, pest control manufacturers are adopting greener and smarter pest control solutions.

Nowadays, IoT has been a trending technology that helps in the remote monitoring and control of pests. IoT technology allows businesses in the food sector to address these food safety challenges. IoT devices can monitor and report pest activity in real-time and collect data that provides new insights into pest behavior that can help improve pest control and food safety.

Opportunities: Adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in pest control

The adoption of various trending technologies, such as AI, has been on the rise due to the low service cost and its operation in remote and difficult-to-access locations continuously without interrupting the operation of the facility. Hence, the demand for digital pest control solutions is projected to grow considerably in the coming years. Pest control service companies, such as Rentokil, are using AI-based image-recognition technology to identify and treat various types of bugs and vermin.

Challenges: Growth in pest resistance against chemical compounds

Even though insects are effectively controlled by the application of chemicals, these insect species can develop resistance to insecticides when exposed to a larger dose of these active ingredients frequently. For instance, flies are known to have developed high resistance against all types of insecticides due to the improper handling of pesticides. According to the Center for Integrated Pest Management, over 600 species of pests have developed resistance to chemical compounds. This has encouraged the use of biocontrol products and alternative measures, including crop rotation, to prevent pests from building any resistance.
