The scope of our recent study on the " Insect Pest Control Market Forecast to 2031 - Global Analysis - by Insect Type, Form, Control Method, Category, End User and Geography" includes the factors fueling the insect pest control market growth, revenue estimation and forecast, market share analysis, and the identification of significant market players and their key developments.

The insect pest control market size is valued at US$ 14.85 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach US$ 21.33 billion by 2031; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 5.4% from 2025 to 2031.

The primary causes of the increase in the insect pest control market are rapid urbanization and population density worldwide. Cities are growing, and people are becoming urbanized; this is why pest infestation is on the rise. Currently, the United Nations estimates that more than 56 percent of the world population lives in cities, which is likely to increase to 68 percent in 2050. With the increase of wastage and infrastructure growth, urban life seems an optimal pest condition that facilitates the growth of mosquitoes, rodents, cockroaches, and bed bugs. Significant urban centres in the Asia-Pacific regions, Europe, Latin America, and Africa also register high pest outbreaks, primarily associated with house overcrowding, high levels of unsanitary conditions, and the growth of informal settlements. Therefore, there was an upsurge in the rodents and bed bugs outbreak, which compelled the health departments and municipal governments to adopt stringent pest control policies. Moreover, the world's efforts in sustainable urban planning contribute to developing and implementing green and biological solutions to control pests. Take the case of metropolitan cities like San Francisco and Vancouver, which have initiated their municipal pest control programme to reduce infestation in a sustainable manner, and are trying not to mess with the environment much. Such schemes usually focus on nontoxic methods and combined control (IPM) approaches. With urbanization rates rising rapidly in the global economies and governments focusing on making urban ecosystems clean and healthy, the global insect pest control market will witness a significant boost over the next few years.

North America accounted for a remarkable share of the insect pest control market in 2024. The US and Canada are the largest markets for insect pest control in North America. The insect pest control market in the US is experiencing robust growth, driven by increasing concerns over vector-borne diseases, stringent health and hygiene regulations, and the demand for sustainable pest management solutions across agricultural, residential, commercial, industrial, and animal husbandry sectors. The residential sector dominates the market, fueled by the mounting awareness of health risks posed by pests such as mosquitoes, cockroaches, and bed bugs; over 14 million households avail themselves of professional pest control services annually. In agriculture, IPM adoption is rising, supported by USDA initiatives promoting eco-friendly solutions. The country's commercial and industrial food processing and storage facilities also prioritize measures to ensure compliance with FDA and OSHA regulations to prevent infestations. The EPA approved novel RNAi-based insecticides in 2023 to combat resistance in pests such as the fall armyworm.

Additionally, with the rising cases of West Nile and Zika viruses, states such as Florida and Texas are investing heavily in public health measures, which have led to the expansion of pest management and mosquito control programs. The animal husbandry sector is adopting insect growth regulators (IGRs) and feed-through larvicides to protect livestock from pests such as horn flies and ticks, enhancing productivity. Technological advancements, such as AI-driven pest monitoring systems and smart traps, are gaining traction in commercial and residential markets. Further, in 2024, the USDA allocated US$ 50 million to support IPM research, reflecting the government's push for sustainable pest control. With climate change creating a conducive environment for pest proliferation, the US insect pest control market is poised for steady expansion in the coming years, particularly in biological controls and digital pest management solutions.

The Canada insect pest control market spans multiple sectors, including agriculture, residential, commercial, animal husbandry, and industrial applications, driven by increasing pest burden and regulatory inclination toward sustainable solutions. The rising consumer preference for organic products fuels demand for bio-based pest control alternatives. Commercial and industrial facilities, including food processing plants and warehouses, are adopting IPM solutions to comply with stringent food safety standards such as SFCR and HACCP. Key developments in the Canadian insect pest control industry include the 2023 approval of novel biopesticides by Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) and the expansion of digital pest monitoring technologies, enhancing precision in treatment applications. Meanwhile, livestock producers increasingly use insect growth regulators and biological controls to combat fly and tick infestations, driven by concerns over zoonotic diseases and antibiotic resistance. Provincial bans on cosmetic pesticides, pushing demand for eco-friendly solutions across all segments, also significantly influence the Canada insect pest control market.

Based on the end user, the residential/household segment is projected to register a significant CAGR from 2025 to 2031. Residential/household segments majorly drive the insect pest control market, which is supported by increasing health awareness, urbanization, and awareness about vector-borne diseases. The most common pests are mosquitoes, cockroaches, ants, termites, and rodents. The demand includes chemical sprays, baits, traps, electronic repellents, and professional pest control services. The safety issues are causing the popularity of environmentally friendly and DIY solutions. In developed countries, there is an advantage in using preventive methods and advanced use of technology in pest control. In contrast, there will be an upsurge in emerging ones due to a rise in incomes and climate-related pest infestation. The segment is advantaged by the nontoxic products and integrated pest management (IPM) strategies that promote long-term growth.

Asia Pacific is expected to witness considerable growth in the global insect pest control market from 2025 to 2031. The Asia Pacific insect pest control market is diverse and rapidly evolving, driven by the region's vast agricultural base, dense urbanization, and rising concerns over public health and food safety. Countries such as India, China, Japan, and Australia are witnessing a significant demand for pest control solutions across the agriculture, residential, and commercial sectors. In agriculture, pest resistance and the risk of crop loss have intensified the need for innovative insecticides. For instance, in May 2024, BASF launched Efficon insecticide in India, targeting sucking pests in cotton and vegetables, key crops in the region. It marks a significant advancement in selective pest control, offering high efficacy while minimizing harm to beneficial insects. Urban pest burden, particularly mosquitoes and cockroaches, has led to increased adoption of professional pest control services in Asia, especially amid the growing awareness of vector-borne diseases such as dengue and malaria. Across the Asia Pacific, governments are also stepping up regulatory oversight, encouraging IPM and eco-friendly alternatives to traditional chemical solutions. There is greater interest in biological control methods, including pheromone traps, natural predators, and microbial pesticides, particularly in environmentally sensitive areas. With pest outbreaks becoming more frequent due to climate variations and global trade, end users across Asia are responding with a blend of traditional and modern strategies to ensure effective and sustainable pest control.
