Description
The market for pesticides used in homes and gardens is expected to exceed USD 8.04 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 4.3% from 2023 to 2029. This growth is driven by various factors. In high-income nations, household pesticides are widely used, while low- and middle-income countries are experiencing an increase in the use of insecticides and pesticides available in local stores.
One of the key drivers of pesticide applications is the demand for urban greens and landscaping enhancements. As people strive to create beautiful gardens and outdoor spaces, they often turn to pesticides to control pests and maintain the aesthetic appeal of their surroundings. However, there is a noticeable shift towards organic or homemade remedies due to concerns about the negative effects of pesticides and the overreliance on them.
The market growth is also fueled by the rising demand for innovative gardening concepts and the increasing popularity of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) among home gardeners. IPM is an approach that combines various pest control methods to minimize the use of pesticides while effectively managing pests. This approach aligns with the growing awareness of environmental sustainability and the desire to reduce chemical usage in gardening practices.
Furthermore, the cultivation of pest-repellent plants and the desire to improve public green spaces contribute to the expansion of the pesticide market. Many individuals are now incorporating plants that naturally repel pests into their gardens, reducing the need for chemical interventions. Additionally, there is a growing emphasis on enhancing public green spaces, such as parks and recreational areas, which often require pest control measures to maintain their appeal.
The increasing prevalence of vector-borne diseases, such as those transmitted by mosquitoes and ticks, also plays a role in stimulating market growth. As these diseases become more widespread, there is a greater demand for effective pest control solutions to protect public health. Moreover, the growing income of middle-class consumers enables them to invest in home and garden maintenance, including the purchase of pesticides.
