The global rodenticides market is projected to reach USD 8.13 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.6% between 2023 and 2030. Market growth is primarily driven by the rising incidence of pest-related diseases, the expanding rodent population, growing demand for effective pest control solutions, and increasing availability of natural rodenticides. According to the 2019 American Housing Survey, 14.8 million out of 124 million occupied homes in the U.S. reported the presence of mice or rats within a year, highlighting the scale of the issue.

Concerns about economic losses associated with rodent damage in agricultural environments are also expected to bolster market demand. However, growing environmental and health-related apprehensions linked to chemical rodenticides pose a challenge to market expansion. As a result, the use of chemical rodenticides is governed by strict regulatory frameworks, particularly in North America and Europe. For example, in the U.S., all pesticide products must be registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) prior to being sold.

The increasing rodent population has contributed to a rise in transferable diseases such as plague, Hantavirus infection, and Lassa fever, impacting wildlife, human health, and the environment. This trend has accelerated the adoption of rodent control products across residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Demand continues to rise in major urban areas worldwide, supported by product development initiatives aimed at enhancing rodent control efficiency. Growth in the number of offices, hospitals, hotels, and residential developments, paired with heightened hygiene requirements, is further driving product consumption.

Natural rodenticides, which are biodegradable and non-toxic to humans, pets, and wildlife, are gaining prominence as an eco-friendly alternative. They do not pose contamination risks and are cost-effective due to minimal handling, storage, and disposal requirements.
