The termite control market, by application, was dominated by the commercial & industrial sectors. The high demand from the commercial & industrial sectors is attributed to the strict regulatory requirements to fulfil the need for keeping the threat of termites under control. Audits are mandatory by many government authorities for certifications such as ISO 9001 and ISO 22000 in commercial and industrial organizations, particularly in the food service and pharmaceutical industries. These certifications have a mandatory clause of termite control to be carried out yearly, half-yearly, or on a quarterly basis; companies that do not comply with these mandates are faced with penalties and shutdowns. Hence, the demand for termite control services is increasing globally.
