US Household Pesticides

US Household Pesticides

Demand for household pesticides is expected to grow less than 1.0% per year through 2026, reaching $1.5 billion. Gains will be limited following strong growth in 2020 and 2021, when the pandemic caused consumers to spend more time at home indoors or using outdoor living areas, as well as pursuing physical activities outside. Looking forward, the market will be maintained by:

•  product development that creates safer, higher value alternatives for consumers
•  the continued need for these products to prevent exposure to pests

Product Development Focusing on Safer Alternatives for Consumers
Suppliers of household pesticides are continually updating their products with new formulations of active and inert ingredients, which helps to support market growth in value terms. Much of this development is focused on finding safer alternatives to both real and perceived risks from these products. Products increasingly feature biopesticides or use formulations that offer a better safety profile. Additionally, products that offer safer ingredients will help drive adoption among holdouts going forward, particularly discerning consumers.

Necessity of Household Pesticides Will Maintain Market through the Forecast Period
The size of the household pesticides market will continue to be maintained by consumer concerns over insects’ ability to transmit diseases in both indoor and outdoor settings. This remains a primary concern even as consumers become more aware of the potential harm to end users and the environment that can arise from pesticide ingredients. Consumers will also not be deterred by rising prices for these products, as removing pests is deemed necessary in many situations.
