The global pest control market is witnessing a flurry of mergers and acquisition activities. The market is currently in the customer acquisition mode, and vendors are experimenting with value-added services and bundled offerings to gain customers' attention.

GLOBAL PEST CONTROL SERVICES MARKET REPORT SCOPE

Pest Control Market Segmentation

This research report includes detailed segmentation by product types, applications, control types, and geography.

Product Types 

The demand for general pest control services is higher in several geographies than termite control services. Japan, Europe, and North America are the major countries where termite treatment services are mainly high because the application of wood in these regions is high both in residential and commercial sectors. Factors such as the growth of viral diseases, improvement in living standards, and the growth of the population are driving the segment. The rise in the housing market in the developed countries is bolstering the termite treatment business. The regulatory push in the pre-construction industry is further supporting the growth of pest management services.

Control Types

While the demand for non-chemical alternatives is increasing, especially from developed regions, developing countries are heavily dependent on chemical methods. Mechanical methods are limited to a certain type of bugs and have been losing share to chemical methods. The ease of availability and cost-effectiveness of chemical solutions are the major reasons for their high adoption. On the other hand, the lack of complexity in regulations with respect to the usage of mechanical or physical devices is preferred by service providers. APAC and Latin America are the major end-users of mechanical methods.

Application Types

The demand for residential infestation control services is higher in Europe and North America than in APAC and Latin America. Globally, the demand is growing as climatic conditions vary across the region, and the requirement in each of the regions varies accordingly. However, the demand for mosquito eradication, termite extermination, and rodent control solutions is high in the residential sector.

The commercial sector uses annual maintenance contracts as they require infestation management services at regular intervals and accord high importance to these services. Historically, the hospital segment was the major end-users; however, due to the growing hygiene and cleanliness awareness, the demand from other commercial sectors is increasing. The industrial sector is one of the major end-users as they are required to maintain high standards of hygiene and cleanliness at manufacturing premises to ensure safety and security for employees.

Geographical Segmentation

The demand in North America is promising across application categories with end-user sectors preferring professionals than using DIY products. The high usage of wood in buildings, both residential and commercial sectors, provides significant opportunities for service providers. The region is expected to lead the global market during the forecast period, as the pest-free environment is accorded high priorities across application segments.

The growth of construction activities and the high prevalence of vector-borne diseases are major factors contributing to the growth in APAC. Moreover, the rise in the construction of commercial spaces - hospitality, airports, and industrial clusters - has tremendously contributed to the growth of the APAC pest control services market shares.

The market in Europe is in the mature stage and also has a vast addressable market in Eastern Europe. The region is characterized by a high level of competition driven by inorganic growth strategies adopted by major vendors to leverage their best practices and gain profits.

Key Vendor Analysis

The competition is intense, with several global, regional, and local players. The pest control services market is fragmented with only a few players occupying major shares. Vendors are implementing innovative products and services such as digital services and focusing on developing service portfolios to gain a higher share. The focus is shifting toward the digitization of pest control services or developing mobile supporting applications to enhance the customer’s experience.
