Global Vector Control Market - 2022-2029

Global Vector Control Market - 2022-2029

Market Overview

Vector control market was valued at USD XX million in 2021. It is forecasted to reach USD XX million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period (2022-2029). Vector control is a method to destroy the mammals, birds, insects or other arthropods which transmit disease pathogens. The most frequent type of vector control is mosquito control, which uses different techniques and different strategies. Some diseases like the Zika virus, West Nile fever and Dengue fever have no effective cure. Hence, vector control is the only solution to control that type of disease and protect the human population. Some examples of vector control are larvicides used in mosquito breeding zones; insecticides applied to house walls or bed nets, and personal repellents that can reduce the incidence of insect bites and thus infection. The global vector control market growth is driven by various factors such as the rising prevalence of vector-borne diseases in both humans and livestock.

Market Dynamics:

Increasing adoption of integrated vector management process drives the vector control market

Integrated vector management is the physical method to control vectors that reorients existing national and international disease control initiatives to improve their effectiveness. It collaborates with various organizations to implement programs in a timely, cost-effective, environmentally sound, and long-term manner. It is helpful to employ a variety of interventions based on local knowledge about vectors, diseases, and disease drivers, as well as partnerships with health care providers, other government agencies, and residents. Effective methods of targeting mosquitoes, flies, ticks, bugs and other vectors that transmit pathogens are well implemented, and the health of millions is protected. This method is useful for efficient, cost-effective and sustainable vector control. It is helpful to figure out where mosquito species are found, their number, habitat, and resting habits, especially in areas where little is known about mosquito species. It is an important tool for tracking and identifying insecticide resistance and how it influences mosquito behavior. Fish that consume mosquito larvae, such as catfish, have been demonstrated to manage vector populations and minimize infection risks by eating mosquito larvae in ponds or reducing breeding rates by introducing sterilized male tsetse flies.

Furthermore, the increasing number of vector-borne diseases, the rising number of initiatives by the government, and the availability of private companies to promote vector control methods emerge as major significance. Also, easy availability determinants foster the overall growth of the vector control market. The increasing need to control vectors disease to keep the human population safe from vector diseases like malaria, Zika virus disease, or yellow fever is also projected to accelerate the market’s growth. The rising number of technological advancements across the agriculture sector will create a new opportunity for the growth of the vector control market.

Market Segmentation:

Chemical control methods segment accounted for the highest share in global vector control market

In 2021, chemical control methods had the highest revenue share of over XX percent. The chemical vector control method is one of the most effective methods for vector control. They are mostly used to control the spread of mosquitos. Some chemical methods are residual spraying, space spraying, larvicide, and dusting. Residual spraying is the application of insecticide inside surfaces of the shelter to be treated and destroyed according to species. The chemical method is suitable for vectors and pests, which are known to rest long enough in the resting place to pick up the lethal dose. Also, it is suitable indoors in the case of malaria control with supervision. Space spraying may cover a large area where an emergency vector control program is imperative. The chemical method is the outdoor application of insecticides as mists or fogs. Larvicide is the chemical method used to kill eggs and larvae before adulthood, which could significantly impact the vector population. For implementing a larvicide program, breeding sites of the relevant vectors must be accurately known. Dusting is the application of insecticidal dust, powder or any solid material. This method is mostly used against vectors such as lice and fleas.

On the other hand, biological control method segment is expected to grow with a significant CAGR of XX% during the forecast period. The biological method uses living organisms like bacteria which help to eliminate harmful mosquito populations from areas where chemical spraying is not being done. It is a sustainable way to control vector-borne diseases as it helps in maintaining the ecosystem and does not affect other flora or fauna present around an area. It helps to reduce environmental degradation that can cause harm to humans living nearby areas like forested land.

Geographical Penetration:

Asia Pacific is the dominating region during the forecast period

In 2021, Asia pacific had the highest revenue share of almost XX percent. Some major developing countries like India and China have a high population density, increasing the prevalence of mosquito-borne diseases like dengue fever. India is one of the key countries in the region, contributing to the market growth. There are higher cases of death related to these infections. The government of India is taking initiatives to control vector-borne disease through campaigns encouraging awareness about preventive measures of vector disease, which help to boost the growth of the vector control market. India successfully takes National Vector Borne Disease Control Program to create awareness about the vector-borne disease and their control majors. Major key players in the region are improving tools to address evolving parasites. Existing tools help to achieve local elimination, but the battle is becoming harder to control mosquitoes. India tried to adapt and respond with better tools and strategies due to the increasing population being a bigger challenge. Major key players in the region are continuously launching new techniques and products to control vector diseases. Increasing the region's consumer health awareness helps boost the vector control market.

Competitive Landscape:

There are several established participants in the industry and local manufacturers; hence, the market is fragmented. Some major market players are BASF SE, Bayer AG, Syngenta, Rentokil Initial plc, FMC Corporation, Ecolab, Rollins, Inc., and The Terminix International Company LP. And Arrow Exterminators, among others. Some major key players follow merger and collaboration strategies to expand their business. For instance, in October 2019, BASF, MedAccess and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation collaborated on innovative mosquito nets for malaria-endemic countries. They announced an agreement that facilitated the supply of 35 million Interceptor G2 mosquito nets to combat malaria. In January 2021, BASF started global registration for the new and environmentally friendly insecticide-active ingredient. The company submitted the regulatory dossiers for the Axalion insecticide in Australia and Korea. In November 2020, Buyer introduced Fludora Co-Max to combat resistant mosquitoes and control vector-borne diseases worldwide. In June 2019, Bayer launched the water-based insecticide Aqua K for fogging. That product eliminates the use of diesel and thereby reduces pollution. Aqua K-Othrine is used in thermal fogging machines, ultra-low volume (ULV) sprayers and cold fogger machines against flying insect pests. Aqua K-Othrine can be applied after diluting with water without losing efficacy.

COVID-19 Impact:

Negative impact on the global vector control market

The Covid -19 pandemic had a negative impact on the growth of the vector control market. Health departments worldwide are limiting or shuttering services due to staff being pulled away to focus on the COVID-19 response. Prioritization of PPE for COVID-19 lead to supply shortages in vector programs, as N95 masks are also used for chemical control applications. Major companies stopped production of vector control products for a certain period due to strict government regulation. The supply chain is disturbed by the pandemic due to the lockdown. These factors negatively impacted the global vector control market.
