Rodenticides Market Size

The global rodenticides market size was valued at $2.54 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $3.31 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period.

Rodenticides Market Overview

Rodenticides are chemicals used to kill rodents such as rats, mice, and other damaging pests. These chemicals are designed to be attractive to mice, frequently resembling food or bait, and are usually placed in regions where rats are known to assemble. Rodenticides act by interrupting the rodent's physiological processes, causing disease, internal bleeding, or organ failure, which eventually leads to death. They are widely utilized in agricultural settings, residential areas, business buildings, and public spaces to control rodent populations and reduce the problems they offer, such as property damage, food poisoning, and disease transmission.

Rodenticides Market Dynamics

• The increasing urbanization and industrialization leading to higher demand for rodent control solutions, growing awareness about the health risks associated with rodent infestations, and expansion of agriculture and food industries driving the need for effective pest management are driving the market growth.

• Additionally, the rising incidences of rodent-borne diseases, necessitating preventive measures, technological advancements leading to the development of more efficient and safer rodenticide formulations, and increasing demand for eco-friendly and non-toxic rodent control solutions are the prominent factors driving the growth of the rodenticides market.

• However, the environmental concerns regarding the use of rodenticides and their impact on non-target species, stringent regulations governing the use of rodenticides, especially in residential and commercial settings, and public awareness campaigns promoting alternative methods of pest control are restraining the market growth.

• The development of novel rodenticide formulations with reduced environmental impact, expansion of urban infrastructure creating new markets for rodenticide products, and growth of the food processing and storage industries driving demand for rodent management services are creating opportunities for market growth.

By Product, the Anticoagulant Segment Emerge as the Dominant Segment

The anticoagulant segment emerges as the largest segment in the rodenticides market during the forecast period due to these substances prevent blood from clotting, inducing painless and straightforward death in rodents that ingest them by causing internal bleeding. This effect leads to a gradual weakening over several days without inducing bait fear or linking bait eating with their declining state. 

Furthermore, anticoagulants are generally less toxic to humans and other animals than rodents. Previously known as first-generation anticoagulants, chlorophacinone and diphacinone are two commonly used active components on the market. Second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides are likewise harmful at low dosages. 

By Geography, Asia Pacific is Projected to Show Strong Presence in the Global Market

The Asia Pacific region is expected to demonstrate significant presence in the global market due to the rapid urbanization and industrialization in countries like China, India, and Southeast Asian nations have led to an increase in rodent infestations, particularly in urban areas where large populations of people and abundant food sources create favorable conditions for rodents to thrive. Additionally, the expansion of agriculture and food storage facilities in the region has heightened the need for effective rodent control measures to prevent crop damage and food contamination. 

• According to the Indian Ministry of Consumer Affairs, approximately 57,676 metric tons of food grains were ruined due to rodent and pest attacks, godown leaking, and exposure to rain and floods while kept in Food Corporation of India (FCI) facilities.

Moreover, with growing concerns about food security and hygiene standards, there is a heightened awareness among businesses and consumers about the importance of rodent management in maintaining safe and hygienic environments. Furthermore, the availability of a wide range of rodenticide products, including both chemical and non-chemical options, caters to diverse preferences and needs within the region.
