The North America insect pest control market size was valued at US$ 3.85 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach US$ 5.56 billion by 2031; it is expected to register a CAGR of 5.4% from 2025 to 2031.
Increasing health risk awareness and public health concerns, particularly due to the rising incidence of vector-borne diseases and infestations across residential, commercial, and public spaces, drive the North America insect pest control market. Governing bodies such as the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and Health Canada have intensified efforts to mitigate the spread of Lyme disease, West Nile virus disease, Zika virus infection, and Dengue, among other infections caused by insects, which have led to an increasing trajectory of cases across states and provinces in North American countries. For instance, in 2023, the CDC reported that cases of mosquito and tick-borne illnesses have tripled in the US since 2004, prompting urgent investment in pest control initiatives at both the federal and local levels. Various public health agencies promote integrated pest management (IPM) practices and public awareness campaigns with expanded coverage to educate communities on safe and effective pest control. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) supports these efforts by regulating the registration and use of pesticides under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), ensuring that products available in the market meet health and safety standards. Similarly, Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has reinforced the process of evaluation to prioritize low-toxicity pest control alternatives, supporting the demand for eco-conscious products.
Municipal governments have started launching community-wide vector control programs across North America. For example, in 2024, the New York City Department of Health expanded its mosquito surveillance program, deploying larvicide treatments in strong drains and public parks to curb West Nile virus outbreaks. These proactive health measures, combined with heightened consumer awareness about disease prevention, have boosted the demand for both professional pest control services and DIY products. The convergence of public health policies, regulatory vigilance, and increased risk perception among North American consumers continuous to accelerate market growth for innovative and compliant pest control solutions.
The convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) with IPM is emerging as a game-changing opportunity in the North America insect pest control market. The USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture has funded millions in AI-centered IPM research studies, e.g., FACT-AI, which will equip growers with open-source pest identification and decision-support tools for small-grain systems. On the other hand, the EPA-USDA Biopesticides Demonstration Project incentivizes the adoption of biocontrol agents in IPM through competitive grants. Further, Farmonaut has collaborated with Iowa farmers to aid the utilization of "InsectNet," an AI-driven IoT camera network providing real-time field pest identification, allowing for instant, data-driven pest control action. Similarly, the development of AI-driven smart traps that instantly notify food plant farmers allows them to undertake active pest control, thereby lowering the risk of contamination. These machine learning and sensor-integrated smart traps are reducing response time and labor barriers, fundamental aspects of contemporary IPM.
Some of the key players operating in the North America insect pest control market are Arkion Life Sciences, Thermacell, SC Johnson and Son Inc, Eleeo brands, Intec Pharmacal Inc, 3M Co, EarthKind, Spectrum Brands Inc, Henkel AG & Co KGaA, and Reckitt Benckiser Group Plc. These players offer innovative products at affordable prices that attract a large number of consumers, opening new opportunities for them in the coming years.
