The pest control market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $34.53 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%.
The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the adoption of sustainable and eco-friendly pest control methods, the increasing resistance of pests to traditional chemicals, the utilization of digital monitoring and data analytics, the preference for organic and natural pest control solutions, and the expansion of integrated pest management (IPM) practices. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the emergence of remote pest control services and apps, the application of AI and machine learning for pest prediction, the adoption of non-lethal pest management approaches, regulatory emphasis on reducing pesticide usage, and collaborative efforts between the pest control and agriculture sectors.

The anticipated growth of the pest control market is driven by increasing urbanization. Urbanization, characterized by the transformation of rural areas into urbanized zones due to economic development and industrialization, necessitates effective pest control measures to mitigate the adverse impacts on public health, infrastructure, and the environment. As of April 2023, the World Bank Group reported that over half of the global population currently resides in urban areas, and this urban population is expected to increase to 6 billion by 2045, representing a 1.5 times surge. Thus, the ongoing trend of urbanization is a key factor propelling the growth of the pest control market.

The growth of the pest control market is further fueled by increased global travel. Global travel involves the movement of people across different countries for various purposes such as leisure, business, or other activities. Pest control plays a crucial role in global travel by preventing the spread of pests and diseases across borders, ensuring the safety of travelers. According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), international tourist numbers reached around 235 million in the first three months of 2023, marking a twofold increase compared to the same period in 2022. The rise in global travel is thus contributing to the expansion of the pest control market.

Technological advancements are shaping the pest control market by introducing technologies aimed at preventing or minimizing the impact on nature. These technologies include innovations to counteract crop destruction by humans and scheduled planting operations. For instance, in March 2021, Bayer AG launched Vynyty Citrus, a crop protection product utilizing pheromones and biology to control pests on citrus farms. Vynyty Citrus disrupts pests' mating rituals, effectively suppressing pest populations without causing resistance or residues in crops or the environment.
