COVID-19 Impact:

Market Growth Accelerated by Pandemic due toSanitary Conditions

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 pandemic has also created many challenges; it has also contributed many positive effects to the pest control industry in the Philippines inadvertently. The major contributor to the development was the greatly increased sensibility of hygiene and sanitary conditions of the entire population and companies.

LATEST TRENDS

Technological Development to Propel Market Growth

Several emerging trends form this market, and they are defined by growing awareness, technological development, and environment-related aspects. Movement is also noticed towards the eco-friendly and sustainable pest control solutions, ditching the completely chemical-based approach. This is accompanied by an increasing need to use biological control agents, the natural sprays, and the wider implementation of the Integrated Pest Management approach, which involves the combination of a range of different methods used to lower the use of chemicals and minimize the harm to the environment.

PHILIPPINES PEST CONTROL MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the market can be categorized into Chemical-Based Pest Control, Organic Pest Control & Traps and Repellents

• Chemical-Based Pest Control: Conventional has the highest market share because of its rapid efficacy and its spectrum activity, which covers the large number of pests. It includes the synthetic pesticides and insecticides and involves the active ingredients such as organophosphates, carbamates, and pyrethroids.
• Organic Pest Control: It is having good growth as there is an increased awareness of the environment, rising customer demands for chemical-free products, and restrictions on the use of synthetic pesticides. It also employs the use of natural matter and biological actors to control pests, and there is no severe damage done to humans, pets, and the environment.
• Traps and Repellents: These are the techniques that integrate the use of non-toxic preventive tactics that utilize trapping and repelling methods to control the pests. Traps come under an assortment of items, e.g., bug traps would be the sticky variety, rodents would be the snap traps and bait boxes models, and flying insects would be light traps. They are normally favored because they are non-toxic and are appropriate in sensitive areas such as homes, food industries, and hospitals.

By End User

Based on end user the market can be categorized into Agriculture, Household, Commercial/Industrial, Public Health & Environment

• Agriculture: This is the sector that is concerned with protecting crops, livestock, and stored agricultural products against many pests such as insects, rodents, fungi, and weeds. Agricultural pest management is important to food security, high productivity of crops, and reduced post-harvest lapse, which is an issue facing a tropical country such as the Philippines.
• Household: Household is a segment that deals with pest infestation in residential buildings, with single-family homes, apartments, and condominiums being some of the residential buildings that fall under this segment. Rodents, termites, ants, mosquitoes, cockroaches, and bedbugs are the common household pests in the Philippines.
• Commercial/Industrial: This sector serves businesses and industrial buildings such as hotels, restaurants, food processing plants, manufacturing facilities, retail facilities, offices, and healthcare facilities. The importance of pest control in these environments is fundamental to the upholding of hygienic standards, the meeting and adherence to the strict health and safety code, and the safeguarding of inventory and equipment, as well as the protection of the brand.
• Public Health & Environment: This aspect entails the massive-scale pest management systems usually carried out by the government, local government units, and health organizations of the people to contain disease vectors and safeguard the general space. Mosquito control interventions against dengue, malaria, and other arbovirus diseases and rodent control within urban and rural communal areas are among the targeted areas.

DRIVING FACTORS

Infrastructure Development and Rapid Urbanization to Drive the Market Advancement

One of the major driving factors of the Philippines Pest Control Market growth is the Infrastructure Development and Rapid Urbanization. There is rapid urbanization of the Philippines with people flocking to cities and partially populated areas such as Metro Manila. The result of this demographic change is that there is massive development of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Within the spread of the urban areas, they might also be intruding on the natural habitat of the pests, leaving them without a dwelling place and requiring them to find a dwelling and food source in the man-made buildings.

Increased Public Health and Hygiene Consciousnessto Expand the Market

There is an ever-increasing knowledge among the Filipino citizenry and companies on the relationship between pests and their impact on the national health, along with the need to uphold hygiene. The high occurrences of the vector-borne diseases such as dengue, malaria, and Zika virus, which are endemic in the Philippine territory because of the high temperature in this place and the large distribution of the agents of transmission (the mosquitoes), have contributed a lot to this awareness.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

Price Sensitivity to the Market Growth

Price sensitivity and the prevalence of non-professionally controlled alternatives, informal or do-it-yourself pest control methods, is one of the greatest restraint factors that this market faces, especially in rural and low-income-centered urban locations. Numerous families and other smaller producers in agriculture, particularly the ones having a low amount of discretionary income, find professional pest management services to be either a serious cost or an unnecessary luxury. They then tend to choose less expensive, easy-to-get, and usually less stable or even dangerous home remedies, e.g., OTC chemical sprays, or old folk practices, or just the willingness to live with infestations until they become unbearable.

OPPORTUNITY FACTOR

Climate Change to Pose Potential Opportunities to the Market Growth

Among the significant opportunities in this market are the greater and more dramatic effects of climate change on pest growth and behavior. The Philippines, as a tropical archipelago, is highly susceptible to the impacts of global warming, such as increases in temperatures, changes in patterns of rainfall, and occurrences of extreme weather events such as typhoons. These changes in climate make most pest species have very beneficial conditions, and as such, you will find them becoming more active, their breeding season will go longer, and even their occupancy of a particular geographical setting may change.

CHALLENGES

Unlicensed Informal Operators to the Market Growth

The unlicensed informal operators and the irregular application of the rules and regulations in this market are one of the major constraints facing the industry, because they negate the legitimacy and success of the legit businesses. The informal sector is still booming even though there are regulatory authorities such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Fertilizer and Pesticide Authority (FPA, which mandates licensing of pest control operators. Small groups, unregistered providers, and many separate individuals can provide pest control services at a much cheaper price, which includes compromises in safety measures, the usage of poor-quality or not controlled and regulated chemical solutions, and the absence of relevant training and knowledge.
