The rodenticide market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market for rodenticides has experienced significant growth in the past few years. The market is estimated to expand from $7.24 billion in 2024 to $7.93 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%.
The growth witnessed during the historic period can be traced back to increased consciousness about sanitation and hygiene, surging demand in the hospitality and tourism industries, a boom in construction endeavours, rising rodent-related destruction and increased prevalence of vector-borne illnesses.
The rodenticide market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market for rodenticides is projected to experience a swift expansion in the coming years, escalating to a value of $12.36 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7%.
This significant growth during the forecast period can be ascribed to factors such as the expanding agricultural sector, an increase in the number of warehouses, surging urbanization, and escalating food waste. The major trends expected to shape this market's future include the adoption of fast-acting rodenticides for quick eradication of rodents, providing direct-to-consumer (D2C) rodenticide platforms to specialized pest control firms or certified professionals due to security concerns, focusing on innovations in the products and the development of new product solutions to consolidate market position, and emphasizing partnerships and collaborations to enhance their product range and geographical reach.
The expansion of the agricultural sector is anticipated to fuel the rodenticide market's growth. The term 'agricultural industry' pertains to businesses primarily engaged in cleaning, processing, storing, or packaging various products predominantly derived from agricultural activities. Rodenticides primarily serve to guard agricultural produce against rats, mice, and other rodent pests within this industry. For instance, data from the Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs, a UK government agency, in February 2024 highlighted that the average farm business income (FBI) for all farms in the UK increased considerably from USD 50461 (£46,500) in 2020/21 to USD 78133(£72,000) in 2021/22. Additionally, the UK total income from Farming (TIFF) in 2022 reached $6.61 billion (£7.9 billion), marking a 17% increase from 2021 and contributing an additional USD 1.43 billion (£1.1 billion). Consequently, the growth surge in the agricultural sector is fostering the expansion of the rodenticide market.
