Saudi Arabia Pest Control Market Overview, 2029

Saudi Arabian pest control market is crucial for food security, sustainable food production, and supporting the agricultural industry. Rapid urbanization and infrastructure development create conducive environments for pest infestations, leading to a growing demand for professional pest control services. Saudi Arabia places a strong emphasis on public health, making effective pest control a priority. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques are widely embraced, combining preventive measures, regular monitoring, and targeted treatments to minimize chemical pesticide use and promote eco-friendly methods. Advancements in technology, such as remote monitoring systems, digital pest management platforms, and precision application techniques, enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of pest control services. The Saudi Arabian government and regulatory authorities conduct public awareness campaigns to educate residents and businesses about pest prevention and control, emphasizing hygiene practices, proper waste management, and proactive measures to prevent pest infestations and ensure a healthier, pest-free environment.Rodents are anticipated to be prime carriers for fleas, ticks, and mites that transmit diseases to humans and other animals. Rat bites can lead to fever, salmonella, plague, and trichinosis, while cockroaches may cause allergies and asthma problems in children. Rats and other rodents destroy a significant portion of the world’s food supplies, spread a range of diseases and cause physical damage to buildings and fittings such as wiring by gnawing and burrowing.

According to the research report, "Saudi Arabia Pest Control Market Outlook, 2029," published by Bonafide Research, the Saudi Arabia Pest Control market is anticipated to add to more than USD 112.06 Million by 2024–29. 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 market in Saudi Arabia is experiencing significant growth, driven by increasing demand across various application segments. The commercial sector, including hotels, restaurants, and food processing units, is a major driver of demand, as businesses seek to maintain high standards of hygiene and prevent reputational damage. The residential segment is also witnessing growth, particularly in urban areas such as Riyadh and Jeddah, where homeowners are becoming increasingly aware of the health risks associated with pest infestations. Agriculture, a vital sector in Saudi Arabia's economy, is adopting integrated pest management (IPM) practices to minimize crop damage and reduce the use of chemical pesticides. Industrial settings, including manufacturing facilities and warehouses, are also investing in pest control measures to protect their products and equipment from damage. The "others" segment, which includes government institutions, schools, and healthcare facilities, is also driving demand for pest control services to ensure a safe and healthy environment. The growing awareness of the importance of pest control, coupled with government regulations and initiatives to promote public health, is expected to continue driving growth in the pest control market in Saudi Arabia.

The pest control market in Saudi Arabia is witnessing a significant shift in trends by pest type, with varying demands across different segments. Insect control, particularly for mosquitoes, flies, and cockroaches, remains a dominant segment, driven by the need to prevent the spread of diseases such as dengue fever, malaria, and typhoid. Rodent control is also gaining traction, as rodents are increasingly recognized as carriers of diseases and pests that can cause significant damage to property and infrastructure. Termite control is another growing segment, as homeowners and businesses seek to protect their properties from the destructive effects of termite infestations. Wildlife control, including the management of invasive species such as rats, mice, and pigeons, is also becoming increasingly important, particularly in urban areas where these pests can cause significant disruptions to daily life. The "other pest" segment, which includes pests such as bed bugs, fleas, and ticks, is also experiencing growth, driven by the increasing awareness of the health risks associated with these pests. The hot and humid climate of Saudi Arabia, coupled with the country's rapid urbanization and construction activities, is creating an ideal environment for pest infestations, driving demand for specialized pest control services.

COVID-19 Impact
The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the pest control market in Saudi Arabia. With the lockdowns and restrictions imposed to curb the spread of the virus, many commercial establishments and residential areas were temporarily closed or had reduced foot traffic. This led to a decrease in demand for pest control services as businesses and households prioritized essential services. Additionally, pest control companies faced challenges in implementing safety protocols and social distancing measures while conducting their services, affecting their operational efficiency. As restrictions ease and businesses resume operations, the pest control market is expected to gradually recover. There may even be a surge in demand for pest control services as establishments prioritize maintaining a safe and hygienic environment to prevent the spread of infections. Pest control companies in Saudi Arabia will need to adapt to the new norm and implement innovative solutions to meet the evolving needs of their customers post-Covid.

The approach of the report:
We keep an eye on evolving markets and try to evaluate the potential of the products and services. If we find the market interesting, we start working on it and create the desired table of content, considering all aspects of the business. We start by creating separate questionnaires for C-level executives, national/regional sales personnel, company owners, dealers, distributors, and end-users. Once the questionnaires have been finalized, we start collecting the primary data (mostly through phone calls) and try to understand the market dynamics regionally or tier-wise. This process gives us in-depth details of the market, including all present companies, the top-performing products with reasons why they dominate; we get the details of new players and their innovative approaches; market trends; dynamics; and all the small details of the market. After the collection of primary inputs, we then cross-check the same with secondary sources that include associations, trade journals, annual reports, paid databases, newspapers, magazines, press releases, government sources, etc. From this, we get a rough estimate of the market and start checking existing product price variants, trade, production, raw material scenarios, policies and regulatory landscape, etc. Then, to finalize the market, we start collecting financials of each player present in the market, including limited, private limited, and LLPs. Moreover, we perform cross-industry and cross-region analysis of the product, and based on collected primary inputs and using statistical modeling, we start forecasting the market. We follow our forecasting algorithm, which is unique for each product but gives more weight age to primary inputs. At the same time, the content team starts preparing company profiles, market dynamics, market trends, five forces, PEST analysis, etc. Once the data is verified by the data expert, the team (primary team, content team, and data team) together crosscheck the segmentations, validate the market, and then the designing team starts plotting the graphs. Once the file is ready, the content team completes the report and makes sure that all the discussed points have been covered and provides their valuable inputs in the form of strategic recommendations for new as well as existing players. The QC team then checks the overall report that includes spell check, data verification, and makes the same dispatch ready and error-free.
