• The market for exterminating and pest control services is predicted to experience significant growth in the approaching years, with expectations to expand to $121.88 billion by 2029, maintaining a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%.
This projected growth during the forecast period can be linked to factors such as eco-friendly pest control strategies, advancements in pest control technologies, increasing consumer expectations, the worldwide distribution of food supply chains, and integrated pest management (IPM).

The escalating prevalence of diseases transmitted by pests is anticipated to spur the growth of the exterminating and pest control services market in the future. Diseases transmitted by vectors, also referred to as pest-borne diseases, are ailments impacting humans which are spread by parasites, viruses, and bacteria. Pest control strategies, such as extermination and pest control, are effective in reducing the population of vectors through the elimination of their breeding grounds or through killing mature insects using insecticides or other approaches. As an example, June 2023 saw the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, a Sweden-based government agency working towards improving Europe's defense against infectious diseases, report 1 133 human infections and 92 fatalities from West Nile Virus in the EU/EEA, including 1 112 cases contracted locally across 11 countries in 2022 - the highest occurrence since the epidemic peaked. In 2022, there were 71 reported incidents of locally acquired dengue fever in the EU/EEA, which matched the total number of cases from the preceding decade. Consequently, the rising incidence of pest-borne diseases is set to fuel the exterminating and pest control services market.

Major firms in the pest control and extermination services sector are aiming to innovate new solutions to solidify their market position. For example, in March 2022, US-based scientific company, Provivi, Inc., in collaboration with Syngenta Crop Protection, LLC, introduced Nelvium, a first-of-its-kind mating disruption product in Indonesia. This product will be instrumental in helping rice farmers manage pests more effectively, given rice serves as a primary energy source for half of the global population. Although pheromones have been utilized in farming for the past three decades for pest control, this will be the inaugural use of this approach on Indonesian rice. The benefits of employing pheromones effectively for pest management include their highly specific target activity, and a method of action that inhibits rather than eliminates, hence fostering biodiversity conservation and growth of non-target species. Syngenta Crop Protection is a Switzerland-based manufacturing company specializing in agricultural services and the production of crop protection chemicals.
