Bird Repellent Market Forecast

Market Overview:

The global bird repellent market size reached US$ 377.4 Million in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 574.0 Million by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.77% during 2024-2032. The rising need for effective bird control measures to protect energy infrastructure, such as power grids, growing demand for bird protection urban areas, and the rising risks in the transportation and logistics sector are some of the major factors propelling the market.

Bird repellent refers to a substance or device designed to discourage birds from entering or roosting in certain areas. It is used to protect crops, buildings, outdoor spaces, and other areas where birds can cause damage or be a nuisance. Bird repellent is typically used to minimize bird-related issues without causing harm to the birds themselves. Bird repellents are nontoxic and are available in diverse forms, such as liquids, gels, sprays, powders, tapes, visual devices, and sonic devices. They help in providing long-lasting effects while being target-specific to different bird species and easy to apply through spraying, spreading, or hanging.

The global bird repellent market is primarily driven by the augmenting need for effective bird control measures to protect agricultural productivity and reduce losses. In line with this, the growing demand for bird protection in urban areas due to nesting in unwanted areas and potential health risks due to droppings is propelling the market. Moreover, the implementation of various bird repellent measures by airports and aviation authorities to minimize bird strikes and reduce associated risks is creating a positive market outlook. In addition to this, the rapid product utilization to manage bird population and protect native flora and fauna is driving the need for environmentally friendly and humane bird repellents. Some of the other factors contributing to the market include the growing awareness about the issues caused by bird infestations, continual product innovations and extensive research and development (R&D) activities.

Bird Repellent Market Trends/Drivers:

Growing demand for energy and utility infrastructure protection

Power plants and wind farms in the energy and utilities sector are particularly susceptible to bird attacks, nestings and droppings, thereby posing various issues. In addition to damage to equipment and electrical hazards, their nesting and roosting activities can reduce the efficiency of power plants. As a result, bird repellents are extensively used in the industry to mitigate these risks and ensure uninterrupted operations. Apart from preventing damage to critical infrastructure, these repellents also help avoid nesting on critical infrastructure. Power plants and wind farms can be kept operating smoothly by implementing bird control measures, thus ensuring reliable energy production and minimizing downtime.

Rapid product utilization in residential and outdoor recreational locations

Bird repellents play a crucial role in maintaining the quality of residential properties and outdoor recreation and sports facilities, including parks, sports stadiums, and golf courses. Despite being open and providing food sources, these areas are at risk of attracting birds, resulting in droppings and nests that can be hazardous to aesthetics, cleanliness, and safety. By utilizing bird repellents, facility managers can ensure these spaces are preserved for visitors' enjoyment by deterring birds. Furthermore, residential areas are frequently affected by bird nuisances, such as nests on roofs and balconies, damage to gardens, and droppings. As a result, property owners rely on bird repellents to protect their properties and maintain a peaceful living environment.

Augmenting demand for smoother operations in transportation and logistics

Birds pose significant challenges to transportation and logistics companies operating in a variety of modes of transportation. The accumulation of bird droppings on vehicles, such as aircraft, trains, and trucks, leads to increased cleaning and maintenance efforts. Furthermore, this results in operational disruptions and delays as well as additional costs. As a result, the rising adoption of bird repellents by transportation and logistics companies in order to resolve bird perching and nesting is driving the market growth. With effective bird control methods, such as visual deterrents or sound-based bird repellents, the frequency of cleaning and maintenance is reduced, thereby resulting in smoother operations, reduced costs, and increased efficiency.
