Impact of COVID-19 on the Rodenticides Industry 2020-2026 - Closure of Restaurants and Other Businesses Causing Rats to Be Increasingly Seen on the Streets in Daylight

DUBLIN, July 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Rodenticides Market by Type (Non-anticoagulants, Anticoagulants (FGAR, SGAR)), End use (Agricultural fields, Warehouses, Residential, Commercial), Mode of application (Pellet, Spray, and Powder), Rodent type, and Region - Global Forecast to 2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global market for rodenticides is estimated at USD 4.9 billion in 2020; it is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5% to reach USD 6.6 billion by 2026. Rising urbanization is causing displacement of rodents which is driving the rodenticides market

The increase in demand for rodent pest control services from the hospitality and tourism sectors is the major opportunity in rodenticides market.

The growth of this market is projected to remain high due to the growing population of rodents, an increase in urbanization, along with the rise in instances of crop losses and other economic damages caused by rodents. The rodenticides market has high growth potential in developing countries, such as the Asia Pacific region, as the economic conditions in several countries in this region are favorable. There is also an increase in the per capita income, which leads to a rise in demand for hygienic living conditions.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic is expected to impact the global rodenticides industry.

The supply chain has been disrupted due to the result of government imposition of lockdown across many regions. This has reduced many stakeholders involved in the supply chain from taking the products to the destined place. The demand is relatively stable, but the limited supply to the distributors or retailers is stopping the product to reach out to the customers. The labour shortage and reduce the supply of raw materials is a major issue due to the restrictions on the movement of people or vehicles. The pandemic of COVID-19 has resulted in the closure of restaurants and other businesses, due to which rats are being seen on the streets in the daylight, thus defying their normally nocturnal behavior. Due to these factors, the demand for rodenticides is projected to increase amidst the pandemic.

Anticoagulants: The largest growing segment in the rodenticides market, by rodenticide type

Anticoagulants rodenticides accounted for the largest share in the rodenticides market in 2020. Anticoagulant active ingredients, such as bromadiolone and brodifacoum, are extensively preferred in the US for rodent control, and majorly, products formulated with these active ingredients have been approved by the regulation authority across Europe. Among the anticoagulant rodenticides, second-generation active ingredients are preferred due to their high effectivity.

Pellet: The largest growing segment in the rodenticides market, by rodenticides mode of application

By mode of application, the market for rodenticides is segmented into pellet, spray and powder. Pellets are the most widely used mode of application across the globe, mainly due to ease to use with baits and its availability in different flavors, which makes it more attractive for luring rodents.
