Pest control is the process of managing or eliminating pests from residential or commercial spaces using deterrents or repellents. Pest control services often involve screening and sealing openings to prevent pests from entering the premises. This practice employs various methods to control or prevent the entry and infestation of pests, contributing to a reduction in illnesses, minimizing the risk of harmful diseases, and maintaining a toxin-free environment.
The primary categories of pests targeted by pest control services include insects, termites, rodents, and wildlife. Insects, a diverse group of arthropods like bugs or bees falling under the class Insecta, are addressed through chemical, mechanical, and biological methods. These methods include the application of powders, sprays, pellets, traps, and baits. Pest control services find applications across different sectors, including commercial, residential, agriculture, and industrial settings.

The pest control market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $24.71 billion in 2024 to $26.81 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to health concerns related to pests, agriculture and food supply protection, urbanization and increased human population, regulatory requirements for pest management, expansion of the hospitality industry.
The pest control market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $37.48 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to sustainable and eco-friendly pest control methods, growing pest resistance to traditional chemicals, use of digital monitoring and data analytics, organic and natural pest control solutions, expansion of integrated pest management (ipm). Major trends in the forecast period include remote pest control services and apps, ai and machine learning for pest prediction, adoption of non-lethal pest management, regulatory emphasis on pesticide reduction, collaboration between pest control and agriculture.
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 influencing the pest control market. Certain technologies aim to prevent or mitigate environmental impacts, including the destruction of crops by humans and the scheduling of planting operations. For example, in December 2023, FMC Corporation, a U.S.-based agricultural sciences company, launched Coragen eVo insect control. This product features a highly concentrated formulation of Rynaxypyr active, which allows for a lower application rate while providing long-lasting and rapid control of major Lepidopteran pests across various specialty crops. This innovative formulation enhances convenience for growers by reducing the number of spray applications required throughout the season, ultimately saving time and money while maintaining an environmentally friendly profile.
Major companies in the pest control market are introducing innovative products, such as smart rodent monitoring systems, to offer proactive rodent control through real-time monitoring and data analytics, enhancing efficiency and effectiveness in pest management. A smart rodent monitoring system is a digital surveillance solution that employs sensors and wireless technology to continuously track and report rodent activity in real time, enabling proactive pest management while minimizing the reliance on traditional traps. For example, in October 2023, Syngenta, a Switzerland-based science-focused agtech company, launched the SecureChoice remote detection system. This system uses advanced dual sensing technology to accurately monitor rodent activity and sends real-time alerts via a digital dashboard, improving the efficiency of pest control operations. This innovative solution not only allows pest professionals to identify rodent entry points for timely interventions but also integrates data analytics and machine learning for predictive analysis, ensuring a sustainable and effective approach to rodent management.
In January 2022, Pelsis Group, a UK-based global pest control technology company, announced the acquisition of Brandenburg for an undisclosed amount.
