Argentina Pest Control Market Overview, 2027

Pest control safeguards against insects and rodents that cause public health dangers and property damage. They can carry diseases, infect kitchens and property, and also bite. If contaminated food is consumed, it can lead to various health risks. Once they burrow into the wood, they can eat out beams and walls, causing the structure to weaken and wear out over a long period of time. They can cause skin rashes and allergies in humans irrespective of age. Pest control is required to protect and safeguard furniture, clothes, carpets, and so on. Pest control is an essential service to reduce the risks of diseases like Salmonella and Campylobacter, dengue virus, leptospirosis, rat bite fever, Lyme disease, West Nile virus, and Crimean Congo haemorrhagic fever. If the pests' breeding cycles are not disrupted, their population will increase significantly as they grow more rapidly than us, which may lead to increased chances of illness. However, rising awareness of toxic chemicals used in insect and rodent control solutions is compelling consumers to prefer organic pest control services. In the agriculture sector, farmers are choosing organic pest control services as chemicals used in insecticides can damage crop health.

According to the report titled Argentina Pest Control Market Overview, 2027 the Argentina pest control market is expected to grow rapidly over the forecast period. Growing concerns regarding food safety and efficient sanitization in offices, hospitals, hotels, and restaurants have resulted in stringent regulations to maintain proper hygiene standards. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), which improves food safety and prevents foodborne illness. The FDA has finalised seven rules to implement FSMA to protect the global supply chain for both human and animal food. The rules are specifically designed to take the necessary actions to prevent contamination in every space that houses a cooking facility. The implementation of such regulations is urging food manufacturing companies and other sectors to invest in effective pest control services to avoid contamination and maintain clean and hygienic manufacturing and supply practices. Key companies are investing in research and development activities to launch integrated pest control services to gain a competitive edge in the market. Mergers, collaborations, and acquisitions are further expected to bolster market growth. The climatic conditions resulting in elevated temperatures accelerated the population of these pests, which resulted in higher demands for pest control services. The rising rural migration of the populace is expected to create favourable conditions for pests to grow quickly, and the increasing prominence of critical diseases related to pests compels people to opt for pest control services.

Rodents are anticipated to be prime carriers for fleas, ticks, and mites that transmit diseases to humans and other animals. Rat bites can lead to fever, salmonella, plague, and trichinosis, while cockroaches may cause allergies and asthma problems in children. Rats and other rodents destroy a significant portion of the world’s food supplies, spread a range of diseases and cause physical damage to buildings and fittings such as wiring by gnawing and burrowing.

By control method, chemicals are more widely used as insecticides are used in household or commercial or agriculture spaces to control roach and termite infestation. Some insecticides damage the central nervous system of insects, while others only act as growth restraints or endotoxins. Additionally, to yield quality crops, the demand for insecticides will continue to grow over the forecast period. However, rising health concerns among millennials are expected to stymie the market growth of chemical pest control methods.Biocides are expected to be in huge demand over the forecast period as they are environmentally friendly and are replacing traditional pesticides. Technological innovations in pest control services through Artificial Intelligence (AI) are shaping up, which is expected to grow rapidly over the forthcoming years. It will enable remote access without affecting facility operations. It would be easy and fast to use AI-based picture recognition techniques to find and treat pests. They provide real-time data to determine the level of infestation and also assist in suggesting what type of control measures to be taken. This reduces physical inspection time and improves the efficiency of pest control services.

The residential segment is anticipated to grow rapidly over the forecast period due to the high infection rate of viral infections such as dengue and malaria. Also, a small number of houses and apartments are increasingly being affected by bed bugs and termites, resulting in increased demand for pest control services. Pest types lead to the spread of diseases, and to control them, pest control is imperative. Increasing use of pest control in warehouses, storage and transport facilities, and public places is expected to drive future markets. The commercial segment demands more pest control services as strict regulations for hygiene and maintenance have been laid out. They generally have a multi-year contract and are a reliable source of consistent revenue generation.

Several pesticide industries had to face shutdown due to the pandemic that resulted in huge losses. In order to deliver safe goods and services, stop disease outbreaks, and lower the chance of downtime, vital enterprises and organisations depend on pest control. Supply impacts were further compounded due to challenges on the demand-side owing to reduced disposable income, depleting savings, and increased concerns and uncertainties. When the coronavirus lockdown limitations are relaxed, the restoration of a building to normal usage will be delayed by pest infestations. Utilizing pest control services at this time will enable us to keep an eye on infestations, deal with them immediately, and drastically save on expenses.
