Ant Control Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product Type (Spray, Bait, Powder), By Application (Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Farmland) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Ants are the most common and stubborn insects encountered at every place such as residential, commercial, and industrial area. Apart from being a nuisance, ants build nasty mounds on any part of the land, they infect food and cause destruction by excavating out timber and other things for nesting. Ant species such as fire ants cause painful bites, which can be dangerous to hypersensitive people. The aforementioned reasons are predicted to drive the global market of ant control.

The prominent market players operating in the market are embarking upon the research and development of new ant control products and devices which will be less harmful to humans and other pet animals. There are tons of different ant species that occur around the residential and commercial area and each of them have different characteristics that may impact the technique of control which is further expected to positively leverage the demand for ant control products.

Ant carries a range of germs and bacteria with them which can cause allergies and spread various diseases such as asthma and breathing problems that can be hazardous to human and pet animal’s health. The increasing death rate due to the prevalence of disease caused due to insects is predicted to drive the demand for ant control devices and solutions. Ants are one of the most prevalent pests in a residential area, hospitals, restaurants, warehouses, offices, and other areas where they can find water, food, and shelter. The increasing prevalence of ants at every possible place is expected to boost the demand for ant control products to restrict their prevalence. The increasing number of hotels, offices, hospitals, and housing societies and high inclination towards hygiene standards are projected to increase the demand for ant control. The complete eradication of ant is not possible but the application of ant control can at least minimize their impact on human lives.

The strict rules and regulations about the commercial application of ant control and limited number of skilled pest control workers are predicted to restrain the market growth in forthcoming years. The stringent and rigorous regulatory requirements to launch a new ant control are expected to hamper the market growth.

Key Players Covered:

The prominent players operating in the global ant control market are Syngenta AG, BASF SE, Sumitomo Chemical, Bayer CropScience, Ensystex, United Phosphorus Limited, FMC Corporation, Nufarm Limited, Rentokil Initial plc. Control solution, ADAMA Agricultural Solutions, and others.

Ant control comes in a wide variety of formulations. Sprays are anticipated to witness considerable growth in the global ant control market. The ease of application offered by ant control sprays is predicted to increase the demand for ant control sprays. Moreover, baits often formulated as gels and the squeezable or syringe-type baits are the most effective and versatile way to use baits. The easy availability of syringe-type bait in the market is predicted to boost the application of ant control bait. The ants nesting areas are mostly hidden, making it hard to find their location. When the location of the nest is inaccessible, ant control baits are usually a good option, especially for householders. 

The demand for ant control products is predicted to remain high from residential area. The increasing number of nuclear families coupled with the increasing residential area worldwide is expected to boost the demand for ant control products. The increasing incidences related to damage of furniture and walls in commercial and residential constructions due to ants are expected to propel the demand for ant control services in the forthcoming years. Furthermore, amplifying damage caused by ants to stored grain and field crops is predicted to boost the utilization of ant control products across the agricultural field and farmlands.

Regional Analysis:

North America is anticipated to hold a prominent share in the global market of ant control. The increasing number of housing societies, offices, hotels, and warehouses coupled with the rising prevalence of ant everywhere is expected to drive the ant control market within the region. For instance, in February 2020, According to the US Census Bureau and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, 765,000 new houses were sold in the US. Moreover, the high awareness among the Americans about the ant control services and methods is projected to drive the market within the region. Furthermore, the high demand for pest control products coupled with the presence of prominent market players within the region are predicted to positively impact the market growth.

Asia Pacific is predicted to witness robust growth in the global ant control market. Ants are responsible for damage to crops, decrease in food production, allergies and various transmitting disease. These reasons are predicted to increase the demands for ant control products within the region. Furthermore, some ant control products are inexpensive, effective, and easy to use, therefore, they are widely accepted as a practical option for ant control among many emerging countries in Asia Pacific.
