Rodenticides are formulated from substances that are frequently hazardous and commonly found in households. Typically, these rodenticides are created as baits designed to attract animals, with various flavors such as fish oil, molasses, or peanut butter to lure rodent pests. Rodenticides are employed for the purpose of exterminating rats, mice, and other types of rodent pests.
The main categories of rodenticides are anticoagulant and non-anticoagulant. Anticoagulants act as blood thinners that eliminate rodents by preventing normal blood clotting. These rodenticides come in different forms such as pellets, sprays, powder, and others, and find applications in various settings including agricultural fields, warehouses, pest control companies, and other relevant areas.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs have affected the rodenticide market by increasing the cost of imported active ingredients and formulation chemicals. These impacts have been felt strongly in agriculture and warehouse applications, particularly in asia pacific and latin america. Higher tariffs have raised production costs and influenced pricing strategies for pest control companies. At the same time, tariffs have encouraged local manufacturing and development of region specific rodenticide formulations.
The rodenticide market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides rodenticide market statistics, including rodenticide industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a rodenticide market share, detailed rodenticide market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the rodenticide industry. This rodenticide market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The rodenticide market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $7.83 billion in 2025 to $8.73 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in agricultural pest management, rising urban rodent infestation, increased use in warehouses, availability of chemical rodenticides, expansion of pest control services.
The rodenticide market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.39 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing food storage infrastructure, rising focus on hygiene and sanitation, growth of commercial pest control services, advancements in bait formulation technologies, demand for effective rodent management. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for anticoagulant rodenticides, rising adoption of ready to use bait formulations, growing focus on target specific rodent control, expansion of agricultural pest control usage, increasing demand for long lasting rodent control solutions.
The growth of the agricultural industry is expected to support the expansion of the rodenticide market going forward. The agriculture industry includes enterprises involved in cleaning, processing, storing, and packaging products primarily derived from agricultural production. Rodenticides are widely used in this sector to protect agricultural goods from rats, mice, and other rodent pests. For instance, in January 2025, according to the United States Department of Agriculture, a US-based government organization, sorghum grain production in 2024 was estimated at 344 million bushels, reflecting an 8% increase compared to 2023. Therefore, the growth of the agricultural industry is driving the rodenticide market.
The rise in construction activities is expected to boost the growth of the rodenticide market going forward. Construction activities involve the planning, design, execution, and completion of building structures, infrastructure, or engineering projects. These activities are increasing due to rapid urbanization, which elevates the demand for housing, infrastructure, and commercial properties. Rodenticides are used to keep rodents away from buildings and ensure safety, with rodent-proof construction increasingly adopted to minimize rodent-related damage. For instance, in July 2023, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, an Australian-based government administration, the number of dwellings under construction reached 240,813 in the March quarter of 2023, rising from 240,065 in 2022. Among these, new houses totaled 103,778, compared to 101,240 in the previous year. Therefore, the rise in construction activities will drive the rodenticide market.
Major companies operating in the rodenticides market are focused on product innovations and developing new technologies, such as future-proof technologies, to enhance efficacy, safety, and environmental sustainability while addressing evolving consumer demands and regulatory standards. Future-proof technologies are innovations designed to remain relevant and effective as conditions and needs grow. They incorporate flexibility, scalability, and adaptability to withstand rapid changes in markets and user requirements. For instance, in February 2024, Syngenta, a Switzerland-based agricultural technology company, introduced SecureChoice, a new rodent management solution designed for flexible installation in various building environments. The system can be incorporated during construction, integrated during renovation work, or added to existing structures without major modifications. Its design makes it particularly effective in areas that are typically difficult to access, where rodents often nest or travel. SecureChoice aims to provide long-lasting protection, improving pest control efficiency while reducing the need for frequent maintenance. With this launch, Syngenta strengthens its portfolio of building-integrated pest management solutions focused on safety, durability, and ease of use.
