The report "Pest Control Market by Pest Type (Insects, Rodents, Termites), Control Method (Chemical, Mechanical, Biological), Mode of Application (Sprays, Traps, Baits), Application (Residential, Commercial, Industrial), and Region – Global Forecast to 2026" The global pest control market is projected to reach USD 29.1 billion by 2026, from USD 22.7 billion in 2021, at a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period. Increasing awareness about environmental pollution and public health concerns caused by vector-borne diseases are the major factors driving the demand for pest control services across the globe. With the increase in population, there is also increased pressure on limited resources, resulting in overexploitation and environmental degradation. The degradation of the ecosystem leads to global warming and temperature rise, which are expected to enhance the survival capability of pests across different seasons indirectly. Global warming has been an important factor in the movement of tropical pests away from the equatorial region.

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. Some of the company's pest control technicians are using an Android mobile app developed by Accenture to identify bugs. When its technician witnesses an increase in a type of bug or rodent, he/she can take a picture of the pest and use the app, PestID. The picture is then sent to Google’s image classification and machine learning software to run through several pest images and identify the intruder. When a positive identification is made, the app immediately provides remediation solutions to help the technicians decide the treatment plans, including proper chemicals and recommendations for homeowners. Since AI has helped in reducing the frequency of technician visits, thus resulting in low service cost and ultimately higher adoption in the future.

Asia Pacific region is projected to witness the highest growth in the pest control market by 2026.

The Asia Pacific region is among the fastest-growing regions for pest control. The region’s high concentration of urban population and urbanization poses a strong potential for pest control service providers. The effects of climate change and in certain cases, the negligence toward sanitary conditions in urban slums has resulted in multiple disease outbreaks. Improvements in legislation and policies surrounding the requirement of pest control have benefitted pest control service providers in the Asia Pacific region. Additionally, the region has also been susceptible to many pest-borne disease outbreaks in the last two decades. From the last quarter of 2015, there has been a significant number of cases related to Zika virus in the region. Zika virus is a mosquito transmitted Flavivirus and has been detected in several countries in the Asia Pacific region, which include Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Indonesia. According to a WHO report (October 2016), the Asia Pacific region is highly likely to continue to report new cases and possibly new outbreaks of Zika virus. Thus, with increasing outbreaks of diseases due to insects, the demand for pest control services is projected to increase in the region.
