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.

Sustainable Growth Opportunities in the Agricultural Adjuvants Market

The global agricultural adjuvants market size is estimated to account for a value of USD 3.1 billion in 2020 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2020, to reach a value of USD 4.4 billion by 2026. The increasing need for green adjuvants, improving efficiency, and effectiveness of agrochemicals are some of the factors driving the growth of the market. 

COVID-19 Impact on the Global Agricultural Adjuvants Market

The FAO has acknowledged that the spread of COVID- 19 pandemic is subsiding in a few countries and regions of the world. Still, it is also resurging or spreading quickly in some other countries such as Korea, Brazil, and India. This outbreak has affected significant elements of both food supply and demand. Border closures, quarantines, market supply chains, and trade disruptions have restricted people’s access to sufficient and nutritious sources of food, especially in countries hit hard by the virus. However, as the governments on a global level shut down borders and economies for restricting the spread of the coronavirus, the businesses observed major impacts on their international trades. Many markets are focusing on fulfilling their requirements for fertilizers, pesticides, and adjuvants by domestic companies.

Opportunity: Manufacturing adjuvant products for cost-effectiveness

The cost of adjuvants fluctuates and depends mainly on the prices of petroleum and vegetable oil that are used for agricultural adjuvant production. As the application costs of different single-purpose adjuvants during pesticide application prove to be expensive for growers, applicators are looking for adjuvants that are simple to use and multifunctional. The increased downstream cost, high foam formation during production, and low productivity have resulted in many R&D activities. Many new developments have been the area of focus for researchers; these include reducing the raw material costs, increasing the production yield, and developing new techniques to lower the foam formation.

Challenge: Impact on the production cost of farmers

The adoption of adjuvants further adds to the costs of seed and pesticides used for crop cultivation. Even though the adoption of adjuvants reduces the application cycles of pesticides, the cost of adjuvants could considerably affect the farm production cost to an extent. The cost again would depend on the stage at which the adjuvants are utilized, either as in-formulation or tank-mix adjuvants. The farmers’ profit margins get reduced due to the additional cost of adjuvants. However, with the increasing need to undertake sustainable measures to control pesticide drift and avoid creating environmental risks, farmers would adopt these adjuvants, which would, in turn, turn out to be cost burden, especially in developing countries.

By application, the herbicide segment is projected to dominate the market during the forecast period.

The herbicide segment is projected to hold the largest market share in the agricultural adjuvants market during the forecast period as according to industry experts from prominent seed manufacturers, disease resistance and herbicide tolerance are traits that have been on demand, owing to the increasing instances of early germination pest attacks and regulations against cop protection chemicals. Cereals & grains accounted for the largest consumption of herbicides in North America and Asia Pacific, owing to the high cultivation of corn and wheat in countries such as the US and China.

Though this pandemic situation has impacted their businesses, there is no significant impact on the global operations and supply chain of their biofertilizers. Multiple manufacturing facilities of players are still in operation. The service providers are providing biofertizer products by following safety and sanitation measures.

Opportunity: New target markets: Asia Pacific & Africa

The Asia Pacific and African regions are the largest consumers of fertilizers. The increasing rate of population, especially in Asia, has resulted in the increasing demand for food, which would, in turn, lead to the increased consumption of fertilizers. However, the major concerns in this region are pollution and contamination of soil as well as their harmful effects on human beings. To combat the harmful effects of chemical fertilizers, governments in these regions are emphasizing on the use of environmental-friendly fertilizers, such as biofertilizers and organic manure.

Challenge: Lack of awareness & low adoption rate of biofertilizers

The lack of awareness in farmers about biofertilizers in underdeveloped and developing countries is creating a challenge for the biofertilizers market. They prefer using chemical fertilizers, as they are easy to handle. This can be attributed to a lack of training and information. Furthermore, the established nature of the chemical fertilizers market is also one of the reasons for the slow adoption of biofertilizers, as conventional fertilizer companies hold a wide range of product offerings and have a strong distribution network.

Higher consumption of biofertilizers for organic fruits & vegetables contributes to the growth of the biofertilizers market in this segment

Biofertilizers have proved to be useful in numerous ways, including improving the quality, shelf-life, and yield of fruits & vegetables. The increasing trend of consumer preferences for organic fruits & vegetables due to changing lifestyle and rising per capita income is the primary factor driving market growth. A rising trend in the cultivation of organic fruits & vegetables and those under IPM practices have also created a positive impact on the growth of the biofertilizers market.
