The rising population of rodents is a key contributor to the increasing spread of infectious diseases such as plague, Hantavirus infection, and Lassa fever, impacting the environment, wildlife, and human health. This has led to a surge in the use of rodent control products in commercial, residential, and industrial settings, with significant demand seen in major cities worldwide. Companies are innovating to create products that can efficiently manage rodent populations. The growing presence of offices, hospitals, hotels, and housing, coupled with the increasing emphasis on hygiene, is anticipated to drive the demand for these products.

The increasing worry about economic losses from rodent damage in agricultural fields is expected to drive growth in the coming years. However, concerns about the environmental impact of chemicals and their effects on humans and other organisms are likely to limit demand. As a result, the application of these products is subject to strict regulations. Regulations governing the use of chemical rodenticides have been put in place in North America and Europe. For example, all pesticide products must be registered with the U.S. EPA before being sold to the public. The EPA regulates these products under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).

Rodenticides Market Dynamics

Market Drivers

Raising the Damage Inflicted by rat attacks to promote growth

Commensal rats and mice live and breed in various locations, including buildings, sewers, granaries, attics, warehouses, ships, agricultural fields, agricultural fields, and underneath concrete slabs. They can cause damage to electric wiring and walls in both commercial and residential areas. Globally, rodents damage more than 20 percent of the food supply. Rats can even prey on chickens and attack the legs of domestic livestock. The primary concern with the increasing rodent population is food contamination. They can contaminate ten times the amount of food they consume, leading to significant losses due to contamination. Rats and mice also cause physical damage to structures such as homes, walls, commercial buildings, railroad embankments, outbuildings, utility lines, and sewers, primarily through gnawing and burrowing. The rising economic and food losses from rodent damage are expected to drive the demand for rodenticides worldwide.

Rat’s displacement as a result of urbanization

urbanization is a critical factor in land use, especially in developing countries where it is predicted that 90% of the population will live in urban areas. This shift is expected to have implications for public health as pathogens from rural areas adapt to urban settings, leading to an increase in their prevalence. The construction of new buildings often displaces rat populations, causing them to migrate to urban environments. According to a report from the Building and Construction Authority, there is a growing demand for construction activities, which can disrupt rodent nesting places in rural regions, pushing them towards urban areas. Black rats, as highlighted in a recent Frontiers article, are among the rat species that have successfully adapted to urban environments worldwide, showing resilience to environmental changes caused by human activities. Therefore, the rapid pace of urbanization highlights the importance of rodent control, especially in developing urban areas.

Market Restraints

Tight government regulations to limit the expansion of the market

Governmental agencies closely monitor rodenticides and other pesticides, which can impede market growth. According to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), administered by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), all pesticides must be documented with the EPA before being sold or distributed. Pesticides that are unlikely to harm humans or the environment when used as directed are classified as general-use pesticides. However, if a rodenticide has the potential to harm humans or the ecosystem, even when used correctly, it is considered a restricted-use rodenticide. Inhibited use of pesticides can only be applied by certified pesticide applicators or under their direct supervision. For example, all rodenticide tracking powders are classified as restricted use and require a license for purchase or use. The strict regulatory requirements for launching a new rodenticide are expected to restrain market growth.

Rodenticides Market Segmental Analysis

By Type Analysis

  • The non-anticoagulant segment is projected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the projected period. The use of acute rodenticides has been essential for rodent control. In China, field rodents are the primary application for zinc phosphide. In the nation, anticoagulants are regarded as lawful. But because of their sluggish effects, farmers have begun shifting their choices in recent years.
  • The anticoagulant segment led the industry market with a substantial revenue share in 2023. Anticoagulants are substances that cause internal bleeding, potentially leading to death from blood loss. These products are classified into two generations. The first generation includes chlorophacinone, warfarin, and diphacinone, while the second generation includes difenacoum, brodifacoum, bromadiolone, and difethialone. Both generations work by blocking a rodent's ability to produce blood clotting factors, ultimately causing their demise. First-generation anticoagulants typically require multiple doses to be effective. However, if other animals consume these anticoagulants, there is a risk of secondary poisoning. First-generation anticoagulants are primarily used in agriculture for controlling pocket gophers, voles, and below-ground moles.

By Form Analysis

  • The block segment accounted for the largest rodenticides market share in 2023 and is likely to retain its position throughout the market forecast period. These products are suitable for outdoor applications because they are waterproof and able to withstand environmental conditions. The anticipated increase in usage by pest control companies is expected to drive growth in the future.
  • The powder segment is expected to achieve notable revenue over the coming years. The product's simple accessibility to dogs, people, and animals carries risks. Therefore, the market is anticipated to grow slowly in the years to come. These items are not meant to be used in ventilation ducts because doing so may cause particles to disperse into the air and contaminate food and other delicate goods.

By Application Analysis

  • Based on application analysis, the market has been segmented on the basis of households, warehouses, urban centers, and agriculture. The urban center segment held a significant market share in revenue share in 2023. Urban areas, with their high human populations, provide rodents with plenty of food and shelter. The closeness of buildings, infrastructure, and waste systems creates ideal conditions for rodent infestations to grow. In cities, various structures like buildings, sewers, and subways offer rodents places to live and reproduce. Cracks and gaps in buildings allow rodents to enter indoor spaces, increasing the chances of infestations.
