Rodenticides Market: Growth Opportunities and Recent Developments

The report "Rodenticides Market by Type (Non-Anticoagulants, Anticoagulants (FGAR, SGAR)), End-Use Sector (Agricultural Fields, Warehouses, Urban Centers (Residential, Commercial)), Mode of Application (Pellets, Sprays, Powders), and Region - Global Forecast to 2025", is projected to reach USD 5.9 billion by 2025, from USD 4.7 billion in 2019, at a CAGR of 3.7% during the forecast period. The market is driven by factors such as urbanization and industrialization, along with public awareness about chemical-based rodenticides.

Opportunity: Development of non-toxic and third generation anticoagulants

Chemicals that have toxic effects are used to eliminate pests. However, these chemicals, when used in excess, can be toxic to other animals as well. Rodenticides can enter the food environment (right from agricultural farms to storage), and when consumed repeatedly, may accumulate to reach a toxic level in larger animals. Pets and wildlife can get poisoned directly by bait or indirectly through the consumption of poisoned rodents. Almost all rodenticides are synthetic, but there are also non-toxic, natural rodenticides that are cellulose-based. Presently, natural rodenticides are witnessing growth in the market due to the increasing safety concerns among consumers. For example, BIORAT is a natural rodenticide which is highly effective against rats and mice. In order to resolve the issue of the negative impact of toxic rodenticides, Biological Pharmaceutical Laboratories of Cuba developed BIORAT, which is based on a rat-specific pathogen. The product has successfully been marketed in 22 countries of Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Europe.

By type, the anticoagulant segment is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period

The rodenticides market has been segmented on the basis of types into non-anticoagulant and anticoagulant. The market for anticoagulant rodenticides is projected to record the highest market share between 2019 and 2025. Anticoagulant rodenticides are of lethal doses that kill rodents in a single dose or multiple doses. These rodenticides block the activity of the vitamin K cycle, resulting in the inability to produce blood clotting factors—prothrombin and proconvertin; this leads to internal bleeding and death of the animal. Anticoagulants act relatively slowly, when compared to the most acute rodenticides.

By mode of application, the pellets segment is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period

The rodenticides market has been segmented on the basis of mode of application into pellets, sprays, and powder. Pellets are the particles usually prepared by the compression of original materials. In terms of rodenticides, pellets are used with the baits for attracting the rodents. Rodenticides under pellets are available in various forms such as grains and wax blocks which makes it very easier to coat with any of the baits.

On the basis of form, the dry segment accounted for a larger market share in 2015. The dry form dominated the oryzenin market as it is easy to handle and can be transported easily with lower expenses, which has increased the demand for dry oryzenin powder. In addition, the liquid form needs further processing to be extracted from the dry form, thus increasing the investment.

The rapid growth of economies in Europe has led to the increase in demand for protein. This factor has resulted in the growth of low-cost protein sources such as vegetable proteins that can be used as substitutes for other protein ingredients. European consumers are emphasizing more on healthier lifestyles; hence, protein product manufacturers need to focus on reducing consumer fears concerning its allergies and safety issues. Gluten is found to cause allergies and it has been estimated that up to 90% of protein in wheat is gluten. Amongst northern European consumers, 30% carry genes for gluten intolerance. This creates tremendous opportunity for other sources of proteins which are free from gluten such as rice protein.

Market Dynamics:

Drivers: Consumer inclination toward food products with higher shelf-life

The food & beverage industry has witnessed emerging trends in recent years, and this is evident from the innovations and developments taking place in the packaged food segment. Packaged convenience food products have been increasingly becoming an integral part of the daily consumption around the world, especially in the North American and European regions. Busier lifestyles of consumers have been driving growth in convenience foods, and the food manufacturers have been dynamic in investing in the production of new products that could meet the rising consumer demand for packaged convenience food products.

Packaging offers protection and resistance against microbial (bacteria and fungi) growth, which results in food-borne illnesses otherwise. The shelf-life of food products also increases considerably. The packaged food products also ensure that food safety and quality are tested before it is consumed, according to the details provided on the package. These also provide the microbial safety of food products before they are kept for storage in inventories or handled during transportation. Moreover, packaged food augments the shelf-life of food products and mitigates food wastage. According to RTS, an innovative commercial waste management organization, around 40% of food is wasted in the US every year. However, developing countries such as China and India are also among the countries with major food wastage, globally.

Challenges: Lack of proper technology for the usage and monitoring of meat starter cultures in developing regions

The meat starter cultures market is highly consolidated in the emerging markets across Asia, Africa, and South America. The usage of meat starter cultures in small & medium enterprises has been a challenge due to lack of resources or the technology and facilities required to monitor high-quality meat starter cultures. Moreover, the selection of the right composition of starter culture is a key aspect that many companies have not figured out perfectly. This selection plays a crucial role in sustaining the flavor and texture of meat applications. The type of bacteria used (thermophilic or mesophilic) also plays a key role in the overall property of the meat products. The selection of the right composition of meat starter culture is a complex method that requires validation at a laboratory level and factory-scale. Lack of awareness among experts on the characteristics of the strain can lead to huge production losses, and hence, this factor has been posing as a major challenge for the meat starter culture market. Adequate training provided to the professionals in regard to the product functions and characteristics can help the manufacturers attain the desired quality end-product, with minimal production losses. Furthermore, the use of meat starter cultures requires advanced technology such as microbial count monitoring devices, pH measuring devices, and devices to determine bacterial community composition. Thus, the lack of these devices and huge initial set-up costs involved poses as a challenge for the use of meat starter cultures in developing countries.

The bacteria segment is projected to account for a major share in the meat starter cultures market during the forecast period

By microorganism, the meat starter cultures market is segmented into bacteria and fungi. Bacteria has been the most widely used microorganism as a starter culture, due to its large-scale application in meat products. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) are the most commonly used bacteria-based starter cultures in the industry. These are the main microorganisms used in meat products in order to prohibit pathogens and spoilage microorganisms during the pre- and post-processing of meat products. Therefore, this segment is projected to grow at a higher CAGR of 4.0% during the forecast period.
