Rodent Control Market Expected to Reach $3.9 Billion by 2027

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “ Rodent Control Market: Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2020–2027,” the global rodent control market was valued at $2.4 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $3.9 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2020 to 2027.

Rodent control implies the management and regulation of rodents that adversely affect human health and environment. Rodent control is a major issue for many homeowners. Rats and mice have the ability to transfer diseases, contaminate food, and cause structural damage, hence need to be eliminated. They are also accomplished chewers, known for gnawing their way through barriers with their powerful front teeth.

Implementation of stringent government regulations toward conservation of environment in developed regions, such as North America and Europe is expected to drive the growth of global rodent control market. In addition, favorable government initiatives to promote the use of bio-based rodenticides are likely to surge the demand for rodent control globally. However, toxicity and health-related issues due to chemicals present in rodenticides is a significant factor that hampers the growth of the market. On the contrary, ongoing R&D activities to increase the dependency on bio-based rodenticides is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for the rodent control market.
