South Korea Pest Control Market Research Report, 2029

Pest control safeguards against insects and rodents that cause public health dangers and property damage. They can carry diseases, infect kitchens and property, and also bite. If contaminated food is consumed, it can lead to various health risks. Once they burrow into the wood, they can eat out beams and walls, causing the structure to weaken and wear out over a long period of time. They can cause skin rashes and allergies in humans irrespective of age. Pest control is required to protect and safeguard furniture, clothes, carpets, and so on. Pest control is an essential service to reduce the risks of diseases like Salmonella and Campylobacter, dengue virus, leptospirosis, rat bite fever, Lyme disease, West Nile virus, and Crimean Congo haemorrhagic fever. If the pests' breeding cycles are not disrupted, their population will increase significantly as they grow more rapidly than us, which may lead to increased chances of illness. However, rising awareness of toxic chemicals used in insect and rodent control solutions is compelling consumers to prefer organic pest control services. In the agriculture sector, farmers are choosing organic pest control services as chemicals used in insecticides can damage crop health. According to the research report, "South Korea Pest Control Market Research Report, 2029," published by Actual Market Research, the South Korea Pest Control market is anticipated to add to more than USD 150.41 Million by 2024–29. Growing concerns regarding food safety and efficient sanitization in offices, hospitals, hotels, and restaurants have resulted in stringent regulations to maintain proper hygiene standards. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), which improves food safety and prevents foodborne illness. The FDA has finalised seven rules to implement FSMA to protect the global supply chain for both human and animal food. The rules are specifically designed to take the necessary actions to prevent contamination in every space that houses a cooking facility. The implementation of such regulations is urging food manufacturing companies and other sectors to invest in effective pest control services to avoid contamination and maintain clean and hygienic manufacturing and supply practices. Key companies are investing in research and development activities to launch integrated pest control services to gain a competitive edge in the market. Mergers, collaborations, and acquisitions are further expected to bolster market growth. The climatic conditions resulting in elevated temperatures accelerated the population of these pests, which resulted in higher demands for pest control services. The rising rural migration of the populace is expected to create favourable conditions for pests to grow quickly, and the increasing prominence of critical diseases related to pests compels people to opt for pest control services.

In South Korea, Pest control trends are evolving across multiple application segments, each adapting to the growing demand for effective and sustainable solutions. In the commercial sector, especially in hospitality, food service, and healthcare, businesses are focusing on stringent pest control measures to comply with health regulations and maintain safety standards. Integrated pest management (IPM) practices, which emphasize prevention and reduce the reliance on chemical treatments, are becoming popular as companies seek eco-friendly solutions. The residential sector has seen an increase in demand for pest control services, driven by rising awareness of health risks posed by pests such as cockroaches, ants, and bed bugs. Homeowners are increasingly opting for safer, non-toxic methods that align with sustainability trends, with a particular focus on treatments that protect family and pets. In agriculture, South Korean farmers are adopting advanced pest control technologies, such as drones and biological controls, to manage pests like aphids and fruit flies. These innovations help reduce pesticide use and enhance crop productivity, aligning with the country’s push towards more sustainable farming practices. The industrial sector, including factories and warehouses, focuses heavily on pest prevention to protect products and maintain compliance with food safety regulations. In South Korea, the pest control market is segmented by pest type, with distinct trends emerging across various categories. Insects remain a primary concern, particularly mosquitoes, flies, and cockroaches, which are common in urban and residential areas. Growing awareness of vector-borne diseases, such as dengue and Japanese encephalitis, has led to an increased focus on mosquito control, especially in cities and rural areas where these insects thrive during warmer months. There is also a rising demand for eco-friendly insect control methods, reflecting South Korea's push toward sustainability. Rodents, such as rats and mice, pose significant challenges in both urban and rural environments. With the densification of cities and colder winters, rodent infestations have become more frequent, prompting increased use of preventive methods like exclusion barriers and humane traps. In commercial sectors, particularly in food processing and storage, rodent control is a critical focus for maintaining hygiene standards. Termites, while not as widespread as in some regions, still present a considerable threat to residential structures, leading to rising demand for early detection systems and preventive treatments. Wildlife, such as birds and raccoons, is becoming more of an issue in suburban areas where urban expansion encroaches on natural habitats. The focus here is on humane and non-lethal control methods to manage these pests. COVID-19 Impact Several pesticide industries had to face shutdown due to the pandemic that resulted in huge losses. In order to deliver safe goods and services, stop disease outbreaks, and lower the chance of downtime, vital enterprises and organisations depend on pest control. Supply impacts were further compounded due to challenges on the demand-side owing to reduced disposable income, depleting savings, and increased concerns and uncertainties. When the coronavirus lockdown limitations are relaxed, the restoration of a building to normal usage will be delayed by pest infestations. Utilizing pest control services at this time will enable us to keep an eye on infestations, deal with them immediately, and drastically save on expenses.

If we find the market interesting, we start working on it and create the desired table of content, considering all aspects of the business. We start by creating separate questionnaires for C-level executives, national/regional sales personnel, company owners, dealers, distributors, and end-users. Once the questionnaires have been finalized, we start collecting the primary data (mostly through phone calls) and try to understand the market dynamics regionally or tier-wise. This process gives us in-depth details of the market, including all present companies, the top-performing products with reasons why they dominate; we get the details of new players and their innovative approaches; market trends; dynamics; and all the small details of the market. After the collection of primary inputs, we then cross-check the same with secondary sources that include associations, trade journals, annual reports, paid databases, newspapers, magazines, press releases, government sources, etc. From this, we get a rough estimate of the market and start checking existing product price variants, trade, production, raw material scenarios, policies and regulatory landscape, etc. Then, to finalize the market, we start collecting financials of each player present in the market, including limited, private limited, and LLPs. Moreover, we perform cross-industry and cross-region analysis of the product, and based on collected primary inputs and using statistical modeling, we start forecasting the market. We follow our forecasting algorithm, which is unique for each product but gives more weight age to primary inputs. At the same time, the content team starts preparing company profiles, market dynamics, market trends, five forces, PEST analysis, etc. Once the data is verified by the data expert, the team (primary team, content team, and data team) together crosscheck the segmentations, validate the market, and then the designing team starts plotting the graphs. Once the file is ready, the content team completes the report and makes sure that all the discussed points have been covered and provides their valuable inputs in the form of strategic recommendations for new as well as existing players.
