Europe Pest Control Market Trends:

Increasing Urbanization

The increasing urbanization and the growing population in European cities contribute to a higher demand for pest control services. For instance, according to the European Commission, Europe's urbanization rate is anticipated to rise to over 83.7% by 2050. The population of European Functional Urban Areas (FUAs) is anticipated to increase by 4% on average by 2050. As more people move into urban areas, the likelihood of pest infestations rises. These factors further positively influence the Europe pest control market forecast.

Rising Awareness of Health Risks

There is growing awareness about the health risks associated with pest infestations, such as the spread of diseases like Lyme disease, West Nile virus, and various gastrointestinal infections. For instance, according to an article published by the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of Lyme disease cases in Europe has gradually climbed, with over 360,000 cases reported over the last two decades. Similarly, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, during the 2023 West Nile virus transmission season, and as of January, 2024, nine European Union nations reported 709 locally acquired human cases of West Nile virus infection, including 67 deaths. This drives both residential and commercial sectors to invest in pest control solutions. These factors are further contributing to the Europe pest control market share.

Rapid Technological Advancements

Innovations in pest control technologies, such as integrated pest management (IPM), biological control methods, and advanced chemical formulations, are making pest control more effective and environmentally friendly. These advancements drive the adoption of modern pest control solutions. For instance, in August 2024, IPL Biologicals, an Agri-biological company with a wide variety of bio-pesticides, bio-fungicides, and bio-fertilizers, collaborated with AFEPASA, one of Europe's oldest manufacturers of biocontrol, nutrition, and plant bio-stimulation solutions. This arrangement will enable the two firms to register and market IPL's unique microbial biopesticides. These factors are augmenting the market growth.

Europe Pest Control Market Segmentation:

IMARC Group provides an analysis of the key trends in each segment of the market, along with forecasts at the regional and country levels for 2024-2032. Our report has categorized the market based on pest type, type, and application.

Breakup by Pest Type:

• Mechanical
• Biological
• Others
   

A detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the type have also been provided in the report. This includes chemical, mechanical, biological, and others.

According to the Europe pest control market overview, chemical pest control involves the use of synthetic or natural chemicals (pesticides) to manage and eliminate pests. This method is commonly used for a wide range of pests, including insects, rodents, and weeds. While mechanical pest control involves physical methods to manage pests, such as traps, barriers, and manual removal. This approach is non-chemical and can be used for insects, rodents, and other pests. Besides this, biological pest control involves using natural predators, parasites, or pathogens to manage pest populations, thereby elevating the pest control industry market research.

Breakup by Application:
