India Pest Control Market Overview, 2029

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 research report "India Pest Control Market Overview, 2029," published by Bonafide Research, the India Pest Control market is anticipated to grow at more than 7.01% CAGR from 2024 to 2029. 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.

The pest control sector in India has experienced notable growth in recent years, driven by various application segments. In the commercial realm, establishments such as hotels, restaurants, and office environments are increasingly acknowledging the necessity of effective pest management to uphold hygiene standards, protect their investments, and create a welcoming atmosphere for both customers and staff. Residential areas have also emerged as a key focus, as homeowners aim to protect their families and properties from the disturbances and health hazards associated with pests. The agricultural sector, a vital component of the Indian economy, has become a primary target for pest control services, with farmers employing specialized methods and products to shield their crops from harmful infestations, thereby ensuring food security and optimizing yields. Furthermore, the industrial sector, which includes manufacturing plants, warehouses, and storage facilities, has become a significant user of pest control solutions, as businesses work to maintain product integrity, prevent contamination, and adhere to strict regulatory requirements. Additionally, the "others" category, encompassing sectors such as hospitals, schools, and public areas, has seen an increasing demand for thorough pest control strategies to protect public health and safety.
The pest control sector in India has undergone notable transformations in recent years, revealing various trends associated with different pest categories. In terms of insects, both homeowners and businesses are increasingly turning towards environmentally-friendly options for managing prevalent pests such as mosquitoes, ants, and cockroaches. This shift has created a rising interest in natural insecticides and integrated pest management approaches that limit the application of harmful chemicals. The area of rodent control has also progressed, placing emphasis on humane techniques for dealing with rat and mouse infestations, including live traps and relocation methods. Termite problems continue to pose a significant risk, especially in older structures, prompting the industry to adopt sophisticated detection technologies and focused treatment plans to safeguard homes and infrastructure. In the realm of wildlife control, professionals are implementing creative solutions to reduce confrontations between humans and animals such as snakes, birds, and monkeys, with the goal of safely relocating these creatures without inflicting harm. Additionally, the "other pests" classification includes a diverse array of challenges, from bed bugs to pigeons, requiring specialized knowledge and customized approaches.

COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the pest control market in India. As businesses and households grappled with the challenges of lockdowns and economic uncertainty, the demand for professional pest control services saw a notable decline. Many commercial establishments, such as restaurants, hotels, and offices, were forced to temporarily shut down, leading to a reduction in the need for regular pest management interventions. Conversely, the increased time spent at home by individuals and families during the pandemic led to a heightened awareness of household pests, driving up the demand for residential pest control services. However, disruptions in supply chains and logistical challenges posed by the pandemic made it more difficult for pest control companies to access the necessary resources and chemicals, hampering their ability to meet the changing market demands.
